Not just another week in August for Najib


Jahabar Sadiq

If Prime Minister Najib Razak plays his cards right, US and China may just throw their support behind his troubled administration and bolster his sagging popularity with his base. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, August 9, 2017.

MARK the next few days in the calendar: they could have a great impact on Prime Minister Najib Razak’s longevity in office and even cast off the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) millstone around his neck.

The big powers of the United States and China will make their presence felt in Kuala Lumpur this week, for discussions centred on security and economic prosperity. Both Washington and Beijing want something from Najib and in return, his government will receive the endorsement and approval he craves.

  • Najib shd ask for Al-Aqsa in return for N Korea favor. Shd even ask to showboat at UN Security Council.

  • MO1 will do anything to survive the 1MDB scandal, including selling the rakyat and country to China and USA. Rakyat have to wake up before we become like the Filipinos under Marcos.

  • Well, that's fine & dandy, ain't it, for team Najib & Co? Then what the heck we're trying so hard for? Give us a break, and let's live with another 50 years of BN-UMNO state show, now that Uncle Sam and Mighty China will make Najib offers that he can't refuse. To quote Al Pacino's Frank Slade from Scent of a woman -"this is such a crock of s**t"
