How political cults have shaped Malaysia - superadmin - 03-30-2022 The recent “Bossku” rave in many parts of the country has left many people dumbfounded and baffled by the rapturous reception that former prime minister Najib Razak has been receiving. Whether the crowds that greeted him on his walkabouts were paid or not, the fact that many had no qualms to be openly seen wearing “Bossku” T-shirts and taking selfies with Najib speaks volumes of where our politics is headed. There must be some people who think Najib is indeed innocent of the criminal charges on which he was convicted; others could be there for the benefits, monetary or otherwise. There could be some who admire him for rising above the murky morass in which he had landed. One needs intelligence and gumption to manoeuvre out of such a mess. All this is taking place at a time when the Goldman Sachs-1MDB trial in the United States is going full steam ahead with much incriminating evidence being exposed, while some of those involved directly or indirectly in the defrauding of a nation seem to be enjoying their freedom in different parts of the world. - More -
