Najib's last Hurrah

The old saying 'beware of Greeks bearing gifts ' is so true now even though it was common knowledge during ancient greek mythology..During the past year the frequency of Najib bearing gifts to every one and sundry has never been more obvious .Every spectrum of the society seems to be covered in his never ending craze to bear gifts to all and sundry.




But that is not the end. Najib the P.M then becomes the chinese drummer , the indian guru at Thaipusam,then the surprise of it all was his attendance of the Dong Zong chinese New year function. Of course all these generous contribution of his P.M's time was not for nothing. His main purpose for all his appearances were to garner support in the forthcoming general election.

But all these various antics by the P.M only display the uncertainty of his office after the next election.. Never in the history of Malaysian politics have an incumbent P.M being so compliant and accomodative.to his electorate especially the non malays who have bored the brunt of the govt's NEP policies. However , if the recent Gangnum star perfomance at the Penang concert is any indication, Najib's participation in the next election would be his last hurrah.

And the best indication would be the deportation of the Australian senator, Nick Xenophon. People say, desperate man always resort to desperate measures. Najib must have lost total confidence of wining the election if the presence of a foreign senator can appear to threaten his position albeit the senator may only just. be critical of his administration.



The straw that perhaps broke the camel's back was his purported instruction to his Deputy Minister, Ahmad Maslan to show the may 13th movie ' Tanda Putera ' to 3000 Felda settlers.If it was any other movie there would not have been any public outrage but this may 13 movie was about putting the blame on the chinese bent on instigating the malays and thus resulting in the may 13 debacle. Now what was Najib's strategy if it ever there was one? To incite the rural Felda malays to create another may 13th so that going into the election, the malays would give undivided support to UMNO.?. That perhaps was his intention but like all his bad strategy this would not likely work .Thanks to alternative media. The people have now reallised that Najib is playing a double game. ,espousing One Malaysia in front of a chinese audience and inciting the rural malays to unite in order for UMNO to remain in power.
