Our C4 expert cum next PM cum economic skunk has announced the latest economic stimulus package yesterday. Apparently, the RM60billion stimulant seems to get more negative reactions from the people. Out of the total budget, RM10billion will be allocated to Khazanah (probably to save the GLCs such as Proton).
And how much does Sabah and Sarawak get? Not even 10% has been allocated to them. Remember when Pak Lah came to Sabah and Sarawak to reassure the people in both states that “Sabah dan Sarawak tidak akan dipinggirkan”. From the stimulus package, now you can see it clearly that in crunching time like this, cronies are still regarded as precious and you, the loyal voters are nothing but the peasants of electoral candies. Still I think they will response by saying "Thank you BN, we appreciate your noble candies!".
After months of denial, finally Najib has spoken that the greatest recession is hitting every single Malaysian. Forget about all the rubbish given by his assistant, the mamak Yaakob, for me he’s just a liar. Imagine how far has our government led us in denial from the truth prior to Singapore, US, China, UK and Japan, who already announced their version of tackling economic situation much earlier than us.
As for Najib, his first task before becoming the official PM of Malaysia has now been humbled not by his power but by the force of economic tsunami. He can deny his involvement with the unrest soul of Altantuya (now Al “Hantu”Ya) but his real charisma to lead the country out of this economic recession will be the real challenge to prove his worth as the new PM. The question is no longer about “Saving Private Zambry” campaign but he’s own quality as the new PM. No leaders in the world are spared from this global economic slump, not even Barack Obama or Gordon Brown.
As for the people, we just have to hang on to any trees that we can grab so that our nose can gasp the remaining expanse of air out of the economic tsunami wave until it recedes.
