Are we back to You Help Me, I Help You?

Malaysia is a mess because the government is held to ransom by our Malay political masters and elites.

When Ismail Sabri Yaakob met former prime minister Najib Razak, on Sept 7, he updated his Facebook post with information that their discussions were focused on Najib helping him revive the economy and control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ismail said, “Najib is committed to contributing time, energy, and ideas as a team for the sake of Keluarga Malaysia.”

One imagines family members to consist of people who support, and love you, whom you can confide in, and trust.

Najib was convicted and sentenced to jail in July last year on seven charges of misappropriation involving RM42 million in funds linked to SRC International. He is on bail pending his appeal.

Since when do people knowingly accept kleptocrats to be part of the family? This version of Ismail’s “Keluarga Malaysia” sounds more like Keluarga Umno-Baru, which comprises kleptocrats.
