COMMENT Malaysian politicians have one big problem, whenever a natural disaster hits.

This is what put Malaysia on the map for all the wrong reasons. For example, the Km52.4 of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway landslip has been front-paged by the Straits Times in Singapore, not to mention that the loss of the MH370 aircraft and the way our politicians handled the issue - including Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak appearing in the newspapers with his ‘RM1-a-chicken’ pose - has already damaged the country’s reputation around the world.
