No News Is Bad News

Hero-worshipping jailbird Najib continues shamelessly

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6, 2023: Pro-Najib news websites, like New Media Hit, continue to hero worship disgraced and shameless former premier Najib Abdul Razak.

They continue to lobby for Najib to be pardonedf so that he can walk free with all his ill-gotten gains fro 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Do such websites think the majority of Malaysians are mongoloids, unable to tell the difference between right and wrong, or logical or illogical?

New Media Hit posted yesterday a ridiculous article titled Najib’s Premiership: A Golden Era for Malaysia.

If Najib was great, why is he a jailbird? Why was 1MDB, under his charge, looted of billions of Ringgit?

Why is Malaysia’s national debt today at RM1.5 trillion? Of course others who contrbuted to the ballooning national debt also included former premiers Dr Mahathir Mohamad who governed the country for a total of 26 years and Muhyiddin “I Am Malay First” Yassin.

Najib’s premiership a golden era for Malaysia? Pui Pui! Pui! Golden era for his pockets more like it! Just remember how his wife, Rosmah Masor, was spending almost limitlessly on luxury goods!

KUALA LUMPUR — It’s not an overstatement to say that former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is arguably the most popular political leader among Malaysians, particularly the younger generation.

His famous moniker ‘Bossku’ has made him a household name, a more approachable political leader to a wider audience, including those who are still ineligible to vote.

Najib has made numerous contributions to the nation and the people when he served as Malaysia’s sixth prime minister between 2009 and 2018.

It’s questionable if a Malaysian claimed to have faced difficulties under Najib’s premiership, especially when many would uppraised his premiership as Malaysia’s golden era.

Regrettably, Najib was incarcerated without legal representation on 23 August 2022, marking a sombre day in Malaysia’s history.

Justice For Najib

A town hall forum titled: ‘Townhall for Justice’ held in Wisma MCA Kuala Lumpur, on Saturday, 30 September, highlighted many of Najib’s accomplishments.

One of the panelists, senior lawyer Kamarudin Ahmad, said that as the country’s leader, Najib must have encountered numerous challenges in ensuring the welfare of the people throughout his administration.

“It was a golden era during Najib’s tenure, these are not my words but you can see that coming from the media and social media users. Malaysians were happy during that time.

“During his (Najib) tenure, we all had the feel-good factor. It was during his administration, we had BR1M. I heard him say, it might be able to go up to RM3,000 at that time,” Kamarudin said.

Kamarudin lauded various initiatives such as BR1M, UTC, 1Malaysia clinic, MRT, Pan Borneo and many more that were introduced by Najib.

He urged everyone to acknowledge Najib’s contributions and cease spreading misleading narratives.

He called on the federal government to grant ‘global amnesty’ to Najib in recognition of his significant contributions to the people.

Another panellist, Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, who is also Najib’s lead defence counsel, urged supporters to continue campaigning to secure a royal pardon for the former premier.

The senior lawyer expressed optimism that the pardon application would be presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA), who holds absolute authority over royal pardons.

“Therefore, it is imperative that we initiate requests, appeals, and various campaign efforts, particularly directed towards the YDPA at this time.

“Najib, who hails from Pahang, has numerous accomplishments.

“We believe this to be his final mission that will bring benefits to both the nation and the state of Pahang. If we can strongly advocate for the YDPA to grant a pardon to Najib at this juncture,” he articulated.

Najib’s Contributions

Najib’s term in office was characterised by a series of economic liberalisation initiatives, such as reducing government subsidies, relaxing constraints on foreign investments, and scaling back preferential measures for ethnic Malays in business.

Growing up during his tenure, I was among the many who benefited from the various initiatives rolled out by his administration.

The BR1M (Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia) programme, aimed at easing the financial strain and helping low-income individuals to navigate Malaysia’s high cost of living, was one such initiative.

Students

Students could be said to have benefitted the most during Najib’s era.

They were helped by various financial assistance such as the Petronas scholarship, the return ticket assistance and the Higher Education Funding Scheme.

Various public organisations offered aid schemes, either as a scholarship or as a loan, to higher education students.

This higher education aid cater the needs of students to pay examination and tuition fees, to sustain living expenses at IPT and to purchase books and stationeries.

In line with the country’s Education Democratisation Policy, Najib opened the PTPTN loans to all ethnic groups.

It’s estimated that over two million Malaysian students have received PTPTN loans to pursue tertiary education since it was established 26 years ago.

PTPTN offered repayment relief for borrowers who obtain a first-class Bachelor’s Degree as an incentive.

The noble idea was to motivate and inspire the students to attain top academic results.

Najib’s vast knowledge and insights in many aspects of good governance are invaluable assets for the country, especially in these trying times.

His contributions were never forgotten.

The people remember, thus want more from him.

No wonder the undercurrent sentiments today are that ‘Bossku’ should be freed to inspire the country back to the good times. — MalaysiaXpress

Repent, help Govt retrieve loot stolen from 1MDB, then perhaps M’sians will forgive you

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23, 2023: Disgraced former premier Najib Abdul Razak has been laguishing in prison for a year.

And he has lamented his loneliness in jail. What does he expect in prison?

Also, clearly the prisoner has been given “VIP” treatment. How is it that he has access to internet to post whatever he wants to say?

BY The Vibes Team

PETALING JAYA – Datuk Seri Najib Razak marked a year behind bars at Kajang Prison by posting a poem on Facebook this morning.

In the poem, the jailed former prime minister recalled how 365 days had since passed and how lonely he has been, with only Allah for company.

He recalled how the days passed slowly and day turned into night, praying for the strength to be patient and carry on.

Yesterday, a poster was also posted on his Facebook, with the caption “Genap Setahun Najib Terus Dizalimi” (It’s been a year since Najib was oppressed).

Najib also touched on the Malaysian Education Development Plan (2013-2025), which the former prime minister claimed was launched by him as part of the National Transformation Plan in 2012.

Yesterday, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said after 10 years of implementation, the education plan had achieved success.

She said it showed a significant improvement at all levels and ensured children continue to be in the education system.

On school admissions, she said all initiatives contained in the education plan were closely monitored by the Education Implementation and Performance Unit by having constant key performance indicator targets.

The ministry, she said, also ensured the integration of the national curriculum with technology so that students become digitally literate.

Najib stated that “Millions of students and teachers have benefitted though the plan received strong objections from the opposition back then.

“This is a huge long-term success which is very significant for the country and proves we are on the right track under the [National Education Plan],” he added.

He also inserted some excerpts from his speech during the launch of the education plan in September 2012, along with some newspaper cuttings. – The Vibes, August 23, 2023

Is jailbird Najib Umno’s indispensable leader?

Is jailbird Najib Umno’s indispensable leader?

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14, 2023: New Media Hit, a pro-jailbird Najib Abdul Razak website, continues to shamelessly spin the disgraced former premier as an indispensable Umno leader.

The latest rubbish spin by the website portrays Umno-BN as desperately needing to be saved by Najib.

Have those “worshipping” Najib forgotten that he has been convicted for stealing from the state (country)?

In fact, Umno’s reputation will deteriorate even further, including Anwar Ibrahim’s Unity Government (UG), for giving special treatment to the corrupt shameless former prime minister.

Yes, Najib has the right to plea for pardon, but he must help recover the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) billions that were stolen while under his premiership.

He must also show remorse for his sloppy management of the federal funds before law-abiding Malaysians, p[erhaps, can consider supporting a pardon.

Is it right to just free Najib like that while others, including a mother who steals a can of powdered milk for her baby, have to serve their sentences in full?

Isn’t all are equal under the law, and as such be treated the same?

If the UG is not careful with this issue, both Umno and Pakatan Harapan (PH) will surely pay dearly for their folly in the 16^th General Election (GE16) that must be held in 2027.

As it is, the UG has a big and pressing political problem - the threat of Taliban-like racial and religious bigots.

Surely, the UG cannot afford to invite more trouble after the just concluded elections in the six states that clearly showed the bigots have made serious political inroads and are governing four states - Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.

The elections also showed that the bigots - the PAS dominated Perikatan Nasional - have garnered significant percentages of votes in many seats that they lost narrowly.

Anwar and his UG should instead, focus all efforts on healing Malaysia’s economy and enforce strict measures on all who use race and religion for political mileage - not invite more political trouble and compromise national unity and harmony.

Umno-BN Desperately Need ‘Bossku’ Najib Razak Back

by Aathi Shankar Sunday, 13 August, 2023

Since losing their real charismatic, dynamic and innovative captain ‘Bossku’, BN and Umno are on a free fall now from the political ladder!

Once a powerhouse in Malaysian politics, Barisan Nasional (BN), more specifically Umno, has become a lame-duck political entity after yesterday’s regional polls in six states in Peninsular Malaysia.

Umno was the dominant ruling party in the federal government from independence in 1957 until it was knocked off its perch in 2018.

All looked lost then, especially when Umno leaders like former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, current President and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and several others were slapped with a pile of corruption charges.

But BN and Umno regained electoral grounds, albeit temporarily, when the coalition won subsequent state elections in Sabah on 26 September 2020, Melaka on 20 November 2021 and Johor on 19 March 2022.

For a while, it seems BN was back with Najib, the Bossku, steering the ship.

But all hopes collapsed after Najib was imprisoned on 23 August last year over trumped-up false corruption charges related to SRC International Sdn Bhd (SRC).

Loss Of Captain

Since losing their real charismatic, dynamic and innovative captain, BN and Umno are on a free fall now from the political ladder.

BN won only 30 parliamentary seats in the last 15th General Election (GE15).

On Saturday, 12 August, Umno could win only 19 out of 108 constituencies it contested in the six state elections held at Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, Penang, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.

Umno, especially, has to do some soul-searching now.

Malay Vote Bank

Previously Umno preferred to pin all blame on its partners – MIC and MCA, for failing to win over non-Malay Muslim votes.

Umno on the other hand would brag that it was still the dominant party among the Malay-Muslim crowd.

Now no longer.

It has lost its ground considerably in the Malay heartland.

Perikatan Nasional (PN) has emerged as the political vehicle for Malays while Pakatan Harapan (PH), BN’s dominant partner in the federal unity government, remains stuck with non-Malay support.

So all those insults hurled at MIC and MCA for no longer being relevant to their respective communities are haunting Umno now.

Umno itself has lost its once guaranteed Malay-Muslim vote bank.

Responsibility & Accountability

Zahid and company must take responsibility and accountability for the trouncing in yesterday’s state elections.

They must act fast or else Umno and BN will be completely wiped out in the next GE16.

Not only Umno and BN, the whole country today needs a strong, dynamic, charismatic and innovative all-Malaysian leader now.

The country needs Najib back to steer the nation and its people from current economic doldrums.

The nation needs Bossku back at the helm to drag out the people from the current muddied racial-religious polarisation.

Current Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is definitely not capable of closing the racial-religious divide.

Many may have forgotten that Anwar and former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad were primarily responsible for planting seeds of racial-religious polarisation in Malaysia when they were working together in the Umno-BN federal government in the 1980s and 1990s.

Hence Najib is the right man.

Comfort Zone

Umno should stop being a lame-duck partner in the unity government.

Instead of lazing around in their comfort zone provided by the Putrajaya corridor of power, Umno leaders should step up proactive actions to free Najib from his illegal imprisonment in Kajang.

Once ruling elites, do BN leaders still unashamedly want to play bridesmaids to other coalitions?

Zahid and company should stop giving lip service to the ‘Justice for Bossku Najib’ cause.

Najib’s supporters want proactive actions and, Umno and BN leaders are obliged to deliver.

Rule Of Law

Most sensible Malaysians, who hold dear to the rule of law, know that Najib should be out as a free man while certain judges, a former attorney general and some former directors of 1Malaysia Development Board (1MDB) and SRC International should be behind bars by now.

But the Malaysian justice system is so defective now, thanks to an octogenarian, that even the Almighty might find it difficult to mend it.

Umno must have its charismatic, dynamic and innovative Bossku back at the helm or else the party will perish in GE16.

Once BN banishes, MIC, MCA and others will flee to jump into the winners’ bandwagon leaving the lone Umno in a political killing field for turkey shoot.

Umno and BN must have Najib back now to steady the sinking ship. Period. — Mediahit
