Najib Razak during London Indig02
by Guest writer
Sarawak Reportbroke this story the couple of days ago with their common timeliness as well as excellent research.
Prime Minister Najib Razak is going to be in London this week where among other things he plans to host the "Evening with the Prime Minister" during the semi-luxurious 02 Dome.The 02Dome is the famous venue which often hosts events with music icons, entertainers, as well as right away Prime Ministers of Asian countries seeking reelection.
Some of the ironies here have been which the Government of Malaysia is spending the lot of income to host the event, yield free food as well as entertainment, as well as also, according to Sarawak Report, prepare for free travel to train Malaysians into London from all over the UK including as far as Edinburgh in Scotland.
"The Coordinator for the entire eventuality is the Malaysian High Commission in London. They have been targeting 1000 Malaysians to stick upon in the gathering.
Travel by Coach to London will be provided. Refreshments as well as the Dinner pack will be served upon the Coach. All branches have been asked to confirm attendee numbers so which we will know either to book the single of two Coaches. Please pass this message to your local groups(?) as well as other Malaysians. Get back to me with the total number.
Ideally, let me know by Tuesday 8th May so which i can submit the Budget as well as total series of attendees to the High Commission.
This is not the formal entertainment the PM will only contend the couple of difference as well as will afterwards association wit! h the th rong via the evening.
If any one is interested , greatfully pass me your name, phone series as well as University. Thanks [email to tyro organisers]
So all this income is being spent, presumably, to win support of abroad Malaysians in advance of the 13th General Election. However, the being is most of these Malaysians won't be means to opinion anyways since the supervision or the Election Commission is unlikely to exercise any arrange of process for allowing abroad Malaysians to opinion reduced of returning to Malaysia upon choosing daywhich is itself the small feat since of the shortness of the campaign period. Everyone knows which buying airline tickets during the last-minute can be the dear endeavor.
One tyro in the UK commented:
"Why is Najib spending this arrange of income upon the unfamiliar PR event"? asked the single bemused London student. "Does he think it plays back home, since frequency any Malaysians living in London have been authorised to vote? The usually people who can opinion have been supervision workers as well as they have been forced to opinion BN anyway!
Furthermore, it's the bit offensive, in my mind, to go courting students only two weeks after Malaysian embassies around the universe released the obvious threat cautioning students opposite attending the tellurian BERSIH protests.
The email says "Please think as well as use your wisdom carefully before creation any unreasonable movement which could adversely start your own self, sponsoring dialect as well as republic in general." Basically the Embassy is telling students to demonstrate during your own risk. In countries premised upon the idea of free speech, leisure of expression, the Malaysian super! vision b elieves it is appropriate to magnify the tentacles of its fascist policies across oceans. Yet, when the Prime Minister goes fishing for votes among abroad students all is supposed to be OK. The message this sends is awful as well as my guess is it backfires.
So right away the subject is will people actually go to the eventuality as well as will there be the protest orderly by Malaysians outward the eventand how most coverage will any of this get in the media. Another person which Sarawak Reports interviewed said:
"This is the celebration domestic electioneering eventuality which will have price millions to stage. It is not correct to outlay public income upon this arrange of PR eventuality as well as we do not think people will be tender which it is being hold in Britain either. Perhaps he only does not brave hold the convene in KL anymore after the spin out for BERSIH 3.0!"
