The Worst of the Lot

As a nation, Malaysia is but a mere 28 million strong.. Diverse as she is, we as citizens sing together her national song... Entitled Negara Ku or My Country, we all arise to pay homage as we sing... With nationalism in our hearts, many a stellar citizen stands proudly... Every time the song is trumpeted in any prize giving ceremony... We are but a small country yet we all have big dreams... How else can you explain our presence in the world stage ... In Datuk Lee Chong Wei, the badminton world sees a supremo... His skills and flair for his chosen game is second to no other.. His counterpart, Datuk Nicol Ann David, is just as stellar.... 9 years of world status as number one in Woman Squash... Her achievements eclipsed all other woman players in squash.. But what is this, what disaster brings upon us this latest atrocity... Our democratically elected Prime Minister from the Razak family... The venerated Najib Razak Prime Minister Elect and Finance Minister... Voted and fingered in the whole of Asia as the worst finance minister ... Decades of painstakingly brand building of the nation of Malaysia... Many have witnessed how Malaysia emerged stronger in turbulent Asia.. After the ravages of the severe economic crisis back in the nineties ... The colossal quagmire of an entity called 1MDB, touted as a sovereign fund... On the back of government guarantees, it secured billions and billions in funds.. After many a mysterious and incomprehensible dealings and wheelings... 1MDB is now a hot potato under suspicion as a conduit for money laundering.. Worse still it is widely perceived to swindle a nation of her citizen's money... And horrors, the financial minister may have ill gotten gains in his accounts... With a 50billion deficit and counting , 1MDB is set to be a colossal disaster.... Who is that Finance Minister? He has to be the worst in the whole of Asia!!! http://malaysiansmustknowthetruth.blogspot.my/2016/05/malaysias-prime-minister-najib-razak.html
