YOURSAY | Hero’s homecoming for PM, but Jokowi get to meet Musk

OCT: There were no real investments brought back by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob - all he did was attend the Asean-US summit and observed some memorandum of understanding or letter of intent being signed.

The rakyat are well aware of the “rent-a-crowd” concept where a few ringgit, free meals and a goodies bag will get you a hero’s welcome. A real PM would do their work silently without fanfare, like Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). 


The PM did have some meetings with some big US corporations, but it’s all talk without any real commitment. It will be difficult for the business community there to understand his mixture of Bahasa Malaysia and English during these meetings.

This type of leader is always more interested in his image rather than doing an honest day’s work.

BobbyO: Looking at India’s victory in the Thomas Cup, it shows how far nations have gone forward. Today, nations like China, India, Singapore, Vietnam and even Indonesia have taken giant strides in improving the quality of life and income of their citizens.

Since former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s tenure in leading the country, we have moved backwards.

Instead of finding ways to improve the nation, our leaders are busy trying to improve their own image by having these paid supporters show how popular they are. The nation’s reputation may be going down the drain, but they are more concerned about themselves.

How did the directors of a public-listed company get away with a mere slap on the wrist after they were accused of falsifying their accounts? What signal does that send to foreign investors?

Can the PM and his supporters explain what the working trip to the US, paid with taxpayers’ money, achieved? How many investment projects were signed? How many American investors are going to come to this nation?

We should be giving a hero’s welcome to a real hero. It looks like our citizens’ priorities are moving in the wrong direction.
