Desperate Times Require Desperate Moves: The F&N Way
by Dean Johns@www.malaysiakini.com
Of the dozens of comments upon Malaysiakini's story upon the appearance of Najib Abdul Razak's design upon the 100Plus can, the many revelation we saw was from someone writing as 'Patchen': "Can we imagine putting your lips upon Najib's face as we drink?It's similar to kissing him!"
Like Patchen as well as seemingly roughly everybody else, we have been racking my brains to consider why F&N (Fraser & Neave) would fester the single of the many popular brands with pictures of Najib.
Was it the 'clever' selling concept left horribly wrong? Or the company's misled try to get itself back in to BN's good books after Ambiga Sreenivasan committed the unforgiveable impiety of kindly offering 100Plus to anti-BERSIH protesters outward her house?
Or was F&N's use of Najib's design upon the can of the single of their many popular brands in reply to the Mafia-style BN "offer that they couldn't refuse"? Whichever, it positively served to prominence the increasingly clear fact that, to multitudes of Malaysians, Najib, his BN accomplices, as well as all their functions as well as difference have been the absolute lick of death.
Terminal blight
They have even managed to terminally corrupt their own 1Malaysia code by creation it the by-word for suspect, trashy or otherwise undesirable products as well as services foisted upon an unsuspecting open by crony suppliers.
1Malaysia shops notoriously sold, as well as perhaps still sell, the total range of illegally-labelled goods, many of them no some-more low than the genuine articles a! ccessibl e elsewhere.
And they even stooped so low as to cheat mothers as well as children by selling supposed "growing-up" milk powder completely abandoned of necessary vitamins as well as minerals.
The 1Malaysia email use was launched as the "free" couple for adults with the supervision as well as the agencies, yet outrageously paid the crony operators of this "service", as well as may do so still as distant as we know, 50 sen of open income for each message subscribers sent.
As for the BR1Malaysia "gift" of RM500 to each needy Malaysian, there's been no accounting or auditing that I've seen, as well as so we pretence during least some of those obliged for dispensing the cash kept the good deal of it for themselves in the scandalous "I assistance you, we assistance me" suggestion of 1Malaysia.
And recently we saw the launch of the 1Malaysia tablet, that was greeted by those claiming distant some-more IT expertise than we have to be both under-performing as well as overpriced.
But surely the many scornful offering to date has been the book Menyerlalahkan Amalan Nilai-Nilai Murni 1Malaysia(Highlighting 1Malaysia's values), that was launched by Information Minister Rais Yatim as an ideal present for supporters of BERSIH.
With the cover prominently featuring Najib Razak dire the strength with the part of of his adoring public, this sickening exercise in hypocrisy proposes 21 "moral values" together with patience, discipline, respect, meritocracy, cleanliness, education, integrity, humility, courtesy as well as loyalty.
Thus vividly highlighting the fact that the BN 1Malaysia gang practices nothing of the virtues to that it pays lip-service, as well as clearly has no intention of ever you do so.
Indeed, it can't conduct the taste of probity even when ! the acti vities roughly literally outcome in the lick of death, as in the disgracefully-disorganised drag-race during the supposed "Millions of Youths" entertainment in Putrajaya last month.
The Sports Minister had the extraordinary cheek to claim that there were "no drift for the supervision to apologise" to the family groups of 7 immature people severely injured when the car ran off the inadequately barriered track.
In fact he went so distant as to claim that "the victims' family groups understood that (had) their children not been there, they would have left somewhere else as well as faced alternative mishaps," as well as to illustrate they "have foregone suing the supervision as had been urged by certain quarters."
Catastrophic crash
I wonder if the Minister for Transport (MCA-BN) will be so cruel as well as cavalier in his attitude to victims as well as their family groups if as well as when the allegedly defective 1Malaysia system of administration department air traffic carry out radar upgrade results in the catastrophic crash.
Of course there's regularly the chance he wouldn't even notice, as these days he seems to be devoting many of his courtesy to trying to suppress open annoy aroused by the antics of the fibbing Health Minister (MCA_BN) Low Tiong Lai over his purported bid for the WWW series plate.
And the Malaysian open would be shielded from any bad headlines about the 1Malaysia code as well as the promoters, as usual, by the 1Malaysia "news" media, largely owned as they have been by BN as well as the crony "communications" corporation, Media Prima.
But to decider by the sinking circulations of many of the supposed "newspapers" as well as the pathetic content, on-air-personalities as well as production values of the television stations, Media Prima appears to be succumbing to the 1Malaysia ! lick of death too.
Though not as quickly, unfortunately, as many of us would like. Elsewhere the process appears to be speeding-up, however, with virtually instant calls for the boycott of 100Plus following the appearance of the series 1 promoter of 1Malaysia upon the can.
So, considering the visceral denial of Patchen as well as large others during the suspicion of dire their lips to the lMalaysia-polluted drink can, we hope has skeleton for lots some-more crony-enriching 1Malaysia scams posing as products as well as services.
The opportunities have been endless. From foodstuffs, or rsther than stuff-ups similar to 1Malaysia beef from the National Feedlot Corporation to the range of sub-standard 1Malaysia cosmetics featuring lipsticks with the design of the pouting Najib Razak upon their packs.
We can't demeanour brazen to the 1Malaysia car, unfortunately, as the country is already stranded with the 1Mahathir Proton.But the Najib Razak administration department has already floated the prospect of as 1Malaysia chief power. And if that comes to pass, as well as proves as most of the combined rip-off as well as stuff-up as many alternative BN projects, it could infer the lick of death for millions of citizens.
Though by afterwards there would likely be the sequence of 1Malaysia undertakers, so surviving BN politicians as well as cronies could still go upon creation the killing.
