Mingling with the masses. Sipping a refreshing drink with your buddies at a local stall (but not finishing it despite all that stirring; too sweet?). Finding out how ordinary Malaysians live.
And then off in a sleek long black limousine with outriders.

I am shocked!! What were they thinking? Why was our revered PM allowed to walkabout without a lackey holding an umbrella over his majestic head? He could have gotten a spot of sunburn!! That was sheer negligence on the part of his minders, absolutely scandalous!!
How many walkabouts did he go on before he was PM? Why was he stirring his drink so often? What kind of normalcy does he expect to see, if he dares not walk the streets ok KL alone? What message is he subliminally sending to the rest of us peasants? Sorry, do not trust him FULL STOP!
here’s a better idea if he really wants to go see how the people are living their ordinary lives on the streets.
1) wear a mask to disguise himself, proper disguise like the ones in mission impossible movie, surely they can afford that.
2) pick only 1-2 guys to accompany him, a band of outriders is a no-no way to go about “spying” on the lives of the KL people unnoticed. plus, it will only contribute to the never ending jam in KL especially at the Pudu station (for example).
3) take public transportation all the way…start at one station, then get down to the next, then walk the streets…act like you are a regular joe going through a KL everyday regular life (not as a politician). pak lah was really “showing off” when he ride the commuter and that was not the whole 9 yards run…(meaning he didn’t live the way of the regular joes in malaysia) and our public transportation is still not better after his “tour of duty” on the commuter.
4) if he dares, strike a casual talk with anyone at the stall and hear directly from the mouth of the people what they think of his approach (remember, he’s in a disguise. people will not be afraid to speak their mind). then will he get an honest answer, not a bodek answer.
Hey! Mr. PM, hire us citizen journalists to be your videographers. We CJ can do a better job, 100 times better. No motion shake, no bad transition, no bad framing, no bad ambience noises…And for 2 mins and 37 seconds, we can project bigger message.
Wow so suave, and somewhat afraid and at the same time looking suspicious. Also he made a quick exit. Not in the least 1 Mslaysian and friendly…..poor show! Not used to poverty and the casual way of life of the ordinary 1 Malaysian. I disqualify him.
Strawing his drink and not drinking… is he above stall food, having wined and dined in the best of joints? Or did he think stall food was cheap and dirty…. “Hello PM we want change”
Detected a certain shyness or was it guilt….you can’t fool people all of the time. What is the meaning of 1 Malaysia anyway, does it mean a lot of poor persons and a few rich guys.
Am I to imagine things….why call it a walkabout and then ride off in the biggest limousine….wow very Mahathir style lah!
He doesn’t look pleasant at all. Look miseable!! From this video clips. By walking around in downtown it won’t change rakyat mindset that umno are corrupted.
This is obviously part of his PR team’s first 100 day strategy, to palce a marker that the new PM is caring enough to “walkabout” with the rakyat – to see what happens at the ground level.
The attempt is flawed somewhat when you have outriders and minders all around you. It becomes a synthetic exercise.
He looked so uncomfortable in that short movie. For a politician he really looked constipated and if this is his publicity to promote 1 Malaysia he failed because he only interact and shake hands with PDRM?
Sad not only we have a ? PM but also not a very good communicator. I think Bush is much better than that and this come from a person that totally hate him for the Iraq war.
Haha….If managing a country is that easy, I can think of at least 15 million Malaysian who’s qualified for the job.
Don’t worry stupid PM! We will help you to make UMNO and BN relevant again. We, the rakyat of Malaysia will make sure that you will be sitting in the opposition corner next election. So,enjoy your walk around while you can… unelected PM of UMNO.
Quite different from TDM’s walkabout. TDM only had one visible bodyguard with a small entourage and there was genuine mingling with the people rushing out to shake his hand. DSN’s walkabout is so like a botox shot. Tight and fake. Video sure tells a thousand words.
