BILAHARI KAUSIKAN, Sept 2008 - on Najib Tun Razak

Allegations linking Najib to murder of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu will continue to “haunt” his political fortunes.
BILAHARI KAUSIKAN, September 2008Najib Razak, he is an opportunist. Although he has not been critical of Singapore, he will not hesitate to go in that direction if it is expedient for him to do so. Najib’s political fortunes continue to be haunted by the murder scandal.

The political knives will be out for Abdullah (Ahmad Badawi’s) son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, whom nobody likes because he got where he is through family ties…

How much is truth and how much is disinformation and misinformation these Wikileaks?
WikiLeaks releases cables from US diplomats, so far mostly reports to the State Department about what they did and what other countries’ officials said. So what those diplomats put into those reports and how true they are depends…on their own perspectives, their willingness to (if any) to please their bosses, or their eagerness (if any) to outshine other rivals in the department, their assessment on how true other people are, etc etc. They are not investigative journalists, they are diplomats.
Malaysians are really jokes of the day for SporeansWe are also looked down as inferior beings -all these thanks to those stupid politicians who enjoy making a fool out of the country with thier idiotic rhetorics and bodoh decisions. All these dinosaurs in Perkosa and panglima gagah wira negara who suck the nation dry should shut your bloody mouth up,take your ill-gains and get out here as we know you can’t be charged.Let us common folks have some peace and some porridge left to feed our families.GET OUT all you Yang Tidak Berhormats!!
Well, in Malaysia, there’s no need for wiki-LEAK..because everything is already bocor… even Parliament roof. But then again,….
It seems like Singapore have nothing to do but talk about Malaysia.They have forgotten they were once part of Malaysia.Take of your own backyard first before talking about others.
for one stupid, brilliant moment, I thought Kausikan referred to shitstirrer.
