How arrogant can you be? Najib responded that Barisan Nasional did not buy votes … rather solved problems. click HERE

At least it was acknowledged by BN that they used a substantial amount of money for this election.

Every question seems to have a ready answer. It’s as though UMNO has been tutored to perfection!

Yes, BN did solve its problems in getting votes (to win the ‘buy election’) by buying it with taxpayers’ money as alleged by Anwar Ibrahim!

I do wonder if this is part of the RM76 million spent on that Jewish outfit that managed to get Najib those meetings and back-patting sessions with the big wigs in the States?

It even gets better – Barisan Nasional Secretary General, Tengku Adnan Mansor declared that the Chinese in Hulu Selangor will not be PUNISHED for voting Pakatan Rakyat! click HERE

And this is after achieving its only third by-election win out of TEN by-elections since the March 2008 General Elections!! Talk about cockiness!

It looks like they have upped the ante a notch higher.

It is quite obvious that the UMNO led government is trying to target the Chinese as the trouble makers and at the same time, discredit Malays in the Pakatan Rakyat like the AKZ Ibrahim Trio, (Anwar, Khalid and Zaid), by labeling them as Malay traitors!

As for PAS, UMNO is trying (but not succeeding) to take the moral high ground on issues like liquor, caning and de-meaning cartoons!

Well, at least their action is clear for all to see ….. the form, that is.

In time, one may realise that it is bereft of substance.

It is therefore timely for Pakatan Rakyat to respond whilst at the same time for Anwar Ibrahim and his People’s Justice Party to do some soul searching and self reflection in its quest to be ready for the next General Elections!

It looks as though the APCO issue raised originally by Anwar Ibrahim …. and in which the government was trying so hard to defend or cover-up …. has finally hit something worth taking note of!

The government had paid the public relations firm, APCO, approximately RM76 million to ‘re-build the relationship with the United States of America’ ….. a relationship that had been severly damaged over the 22 years of Mahathir rule! click HERE.

It is no wonder that Najib got the ‘extra 10 minutes of talk time with Obama’ over the budgeted 30 minutes!

It is no wonder that Najib got the constant pat in the back from Vice President Joe Biden.

It is no wonder that Najib (as Finance Minister) got to have the meeting with Treasury Secretary, Tim Geitner to talk about world economics!

It is no wonder that all those wonderful things happened for good ol’ Najib during his trip to the United States.

It was paid for with tax-payers’ money in order to make all the above happen ….. and it was to the tune of RM76 million!

Boy, there sure is going to be lots to talk about during the campaigning for the Hulu Selangor and Sibu parliamentary seats.

It looks like it is back to the Mahathirism days of managing the economy …. all other efforts seem to be rhetoric only. Even Idris Jala indicated in his lecture to MCA leaders that whilst most surveyed agreed that change has to take place, more than 75% believed that ‘the government can deliver this transformation …. in a 100 years’ time’. click HERE

Whilst most can take it in jest, it is a reflection of the real challenges facing the government that lacks the political will to change …. especially when Najib is known to be the exact opposite of Mahathir!!

Pakatan Rakyat should be comforted that the threshold of changing from doing wrong to right CANNOT be reached by UMNO and its cohorts. All it needs to do now is to steadily and calmly work towards the next General Elections slated for the year 2013 ….. and developing and building up a steady supply of trust-worthy cadres willing to walk the talk.

Pakatan Rakyat should not have a problem getting these cadres ….. because most of them are in the group called the SILENT MAJORITY!

UPDATE (17 April 2010) : Well, it’s in the foreign press now with Malaysia being the laughing stock again. Mahathir, in response, said that he would not pay as he would do it differently if in power …. he conveniently seems to forget that he used the ‘money route’ too in order to meet then President George W Bush in 2002. click HERE
