People have
often asked, how did Najib turned bad? Wasn’t he just like any other spoilt
rich man’s son, happily doing pub crawls and sowing his wild oats on stray
women acquaintances considered as spoils along the trail?
I am sure many
have asked this question because they do not want to believe that Najib has two personalities. The public Najib is a reflection of the private Najib. And
if in private, he is a decent fellow as many would say so, then his public
personae, which is opposite his private self, must have been nurtured by his
environment.
The problem is
this. The public personae displays consistency such that it is difficult not to
infer a permanent inner character trait. The outside personality cannot just be
occasional reactions to outside stimuli. We are therefore inclined to say Najib’s
private vileness meshed exactly his brutal and opportunistic public style.
That description
I borrow from Christopher Hitchens’s description of slick Willy Clinton. In simpler
terms, the public personae which Najib portrays is a near reflection of his private
personae. Bad inside, bad outside.
Because if he
has an ethical inner self- that that would be enough to stop him from 1MDB-eing
Malaysia. He was crooked on the inside and
outside. It’s difficult for us to understand, why he approved the money sent to
Jho Low’s account not once, but twice. An
inherently crooked inner self is the only explanation. The intention to steal
was there right from the beginning.
The test of
Najib’s fitness for high office is now his ability to lie continuously. It’s not
his desire to serve the 30 million people of Malaysia. It was never the commitment
to religion, race and country. Who does that anymore?
Management of populism
by elitism.
The most successful
elite group is the one who can win the allegiance of a pliant and dependent
crowd. Which can present itself as most in touch with popular concerns- such as
portraying itself as stout defenders of religion, the purity of race, protector
of Malays from challenges, which are
mostly imagined. It also includes the insipid inclusiveness slogan of putting
people first. Putting people first where? In the line of fire? As the first to
suffer?
Many may know the answer but may be silent for 'lindong diri' or self preservation.

ReplyDeleteWhy don't you print 10,000 leaflets of your post in Malay and distribute to the rural folks around Pekan ? I think the monthly Parliament allowance is enough to do this, no ?
The Malays are too forgiving, everything is down to Allah's will. Tidak apa lah, itu rezeki dia. That's how Bijan manages to survive.
Najib has mastered the art of silat well.And his sifu is Mahathir.Now the student is the boss.And there is nothing anybody can do about it.Not even the master.
