Our Honorable Perdana Menteri

Posted by: Raja Petra Malaysian Abroad This is a story about Malaysian society Where the different races supposedly live in harmony In 2003, came along a Prime Minister by the name of Dato’ Seri Abdullah Badawi Who led his party to a resounding election victory. This is a PM whose promises are many All his slogans are equally catchy As a result, many people are taken in completely By his humble and Mr. Clean personality. First among his chief promises is to combat corruption immediately That has everyone applauding loudly But until today, all the major cases are still one big mystery Lack of evidence or is he fooling us secretly? Not long after, he introduced Islam Hadhari Some complained there is only one version of Islam from the Almighty Anyway, what is it all about, no one knows exactly Except for some broad points outlined in theory. Then, he said we need to cut our budget deficit quickly Which started the dismantling of Tun M’s legacy This caused us to hear about the crooked bridge flip flop story With all the accusations, what is fiction and what is reality? By his own admission, his son is extremely wealthy Because he controls a listed company by the name of Scomi Was once implicated in the shipment of banned components to a Middle Eastern country But his son claimed ignorance and that’s the end of the story. He also has a son-in-law by the name of Khairy Not elected but is UMNO Youth’s deputy Got entangled in the merged Avenue-ECM Libra entity Which happened right under the nose of the PM-led Finance Ministry. Then, we came across a foreign newspaper reporting factually Of his adventure to see a yacht at a faraway place somewhere in Turkey This is not true, he said insistently But I don’t see the newspaper issuing any apology. Next, came the jet on the itinerary Bought or leased, he is lucky that Malaysians are not financially savvy The jet is also for the Agong’s use, he said publicly I wonder whether the Agong requested for one specifically? Later, we read of his holidays in an Australian city Staying in a mansion owned by someone whom an old man named as Patrick Badawi We shouldn’t be so critical if he was only away temporarily Except for the fact that there was a major flood in our own territory. Then, we get the case of Proton disposing off a subsidiary Not for a large amount but for a mere penny Many think behind the deal something’s very fishy Tun M’s pet project is certainly going awry. Overall, crime rates are going up highly Confidence in our police is at its lowest historically But the IGP got his tenure extended easily He must be thinking everything’s hunky-dory. He has also been busy launching economic regions lately Trying to attract foreign investments into the country Sadly, some are saying that the northern development is benefiting a crony While others argue the southern one will end up as LKY’s colony. You see, I can go on and on about this indefinitely Because it is easy and I do not need to create any of them individually They are all plucked from the web where the stories about him is a plenty From promoting judges unfairly to always being sleepy. Actually, I am just an ordinary Malaysian who cares about her country And I have to state that I am not against him or his policy For I do not care who is the Perdana Menteri As long as the person is capable and trustworthy.
