Kit Siang claims Najib's Trump-eting is out of tune

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak appears to be emulating United States President Donald Trump after meeting the latter at the White House on Sept 12, according to Lim Kit Siang.

Accusing the prime minister of developing a “Trumpish habit,” he said Najib now possessed a special appetite for chest-thumping about the achievements of his administration.

However, the DAP veteran pointed out that Najib “studiously avoided” the 1MDB scandal and growing religious and racial intolerance in Malaysia.

“How long will Najib and his administration perpetrate the charade that there is no 1MDB scandal although it continues to make waves and hog international headlines?” he asked.

Lim also cited examples of Najib's Trump-like behaviour, claiming that each one of them is open to challenge:

• Najib's boast on his return at KLIA that Trump called him “friend” and gave him a personal send-off.
• His boast on his blog that 1Malaysia Negaraku concept is the starting point of a new unity among Malaysians of diverse races, religions, languages and cultures.
• His boast that his National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) programme has provided the best services to the people at optimum spending.
• His boast that “even though my father, grandfather are not from Kerala, I am called the father of Indian community development.”

Although Trump had called Najib a friend and honoured him with a personal send-off, Lim asked if the prime minister had raised the issue of the Muslim ban and 91 percent increase in hate crimes against Muslims with the US president.

As for the 1Malaysia slogan, the DAP leader claimed Najib's government abandoned the 1Malaysia since the outcome of the last general election, allowing extremism, intolerance and bigotry to rear their ugly heads.

“How can Najib claim success for the National Blue Ocean Strategy when Malaysia has overnight become a global kleptocracy, with Kedai Malaysia 1Malaysia (KRIM) shops to benefit low-income urban Malaysians with basic necessities closing down one by one, the economic crisis faced by 100,000 Felda settlers and 700,000 PTPTN defaulters – while Najib bore gifts to the White House worth RM60 billion to strengthen the American economy?” he asked.

According to Lim, Najib's claim to be the “father of Indian community development” is also controversial.

“I commend Najib for standing his ground on the appointment of T Subromaniam as the Customs Department director-general as he is the most senior and most qualified.

“But when the prime minister has to be involved in such appointments, standing his ground or otherwise, something has gone very wrong with the system of public appointments.

“Does it mean that the 'three wise men' system, where the chief secretary, head of the Public Services Department, and secretary-general of the Finance Ministry were supposed to collectively decide on all senior public appointments wisely without any interference or discrimination, had broken down as to require a prime minister to intervene?

“Furthermore, the issue of the controversy over the appointment of Subromaniam has thrown light on the lack of Indian and non-Malay secretaries-general and other senior positions in the public service,” he added.

Lim also claimed that “creeping Talibanisation” was another major national concern, citing the controversy surrounding a launderette in Johor catering only for Muslims and the banning of the Better Beer Festival.

“But why has the prime minister who promoted the Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) at the United Nations general assembly in three speeches, kept his silence?” he said.- Mkini
