Of late, former Prime Minister Najib Razak has been trying hard to re-invent himself – singing on social media, riding pillion on a superbike, being seen eating out in public places – especially in the run-up to the Cameron Highlands by-election on 26 January 2019.
But Malaysians should not forget the legacy of his administration so easily. Take a look at these latest figures:
Federal government debts and liabilities
RM and (% of GDP)
725bn (51%) – Official debt
118bn (8%) – Committed government guarantees
—————
843bn (59%) – Subtotal
185bn (13%) – Other liabilities
38bn (3%) – 1MDB debt
———-
1,066bn (75%) – Total debt and liabilities

Many B40 folks are still fond of MO1 because of easy hand outs and freebies, illegal or not, morally wrong or not, without questioning the source of money and how it affects our national debt situation. MO1 is capitalising on this to comeback as BOSSKU.
Cameron Highlands by election told us that rural people still have high regards for that Tak Mali Najib, likely because they cannot appreciate the scandal of 1MDB, only have affinity for freebies from BM.
Najib self proclaimed to be ‘Tak Malu’, want to be Boss again. PH must expedite court proceedings for early check in and permanent stay at Sungai Buluh Resort for Mr and Mrs MO1!
RTM being state owned has failed so far to convince rural folks that government is in great debt due to Najib and cannot afford to give freebies lije before else country can go bankrupt.
Ambiga: Growing support for Najib ‘very worrying’, wouldn’t happen in other countries

MO1 trying a comeback as BO55KU in Cameron Hoghlands campaign. Must deny BN to ensure kleptocracy is dead and buried.
It was heartening to see some exposure of the blood-sucking arch-fiends in 2018. It was only justice when the Goldman Sachs share price dropped steeply, and their precious stock market index followed. Now, they tell us that only specific employees acted criminally, i.e. the major banks, the benevolent IMF, etc. were all above-board. This is the same IMF that ignored its own economists before the Great Recession impoverished the masses in USA and EU. A generation ago, ecomomic warfare was mainly through attacks on currency, e.g. in South America. Now, it is a lot simpler to persuade subverted leaders to… Read more »
Under him, debt doubled!
Unfortunately the Orang Asli community in Cameron Highlands cannot understand the severity of our national debt, they will hand BN-Umno victory in tomorrow’s by-election, sadly.
PH folks must tell them that Umno fellows themselves leaving their party to jump into Pakatan, so why vote for the sinking ship of Umno/BN?? The Umno leaders making beeline to see Tun to be absorbed into Bersatu.
By the rate the PH government is going, would love to see Najib comeback as PM again. If you analyse last election properly, if UMNO and PAS work together, there will be no PH government.
You foot the 1MDB debt bill lah! And Rosie’s Rm1k hairdo! Oh yes, buy back that yacht with Rakyat’s money. And welcome back FatLow with your wide open arms!!!
No only Rosie but orso cronies bills like him. See they getting 80k per month in the GLC like the general flyer and contracts which gorek but never like pipelines or over due and roti prata road. See how susu bodek hoping to get contracts if bn back in power.
It is almost a year PH Administrators have helmed the nation. It is obvious for all to see PH lacks political will to tackle tough decisions. Both these parties PKR and Bersatu in PH coalition were riding on the same wave with the racist extremists and the munafik religious bigots. Those Malaysians still hoping for a miracle to happen… pray harder!
