Malaysia F-1, Made-in-Malaysia or Made-for-Cronies?
The ruling government tried to block RPK’s Malaysia-Today website but they knew better than anyone that it was a fruitless effort. Hence Najib’s cousin, Home Minister Hishammuddin changed the strategy and is tracking the identity of the “insider” who passed the documents to RPK.

Remember how Janet Jackson’s right breast was exposed during the halftime show at the Super Bowl – more than five years ago? Some 72,000 fans in Reliant Stadium and more than 100 million watching around the world got more than what they expected to see when Justin Timberlake who was singing “I’ll get you naked by the end of this song” when he ripped off Janet’s top, exposing her bare breast – the nipple covered by a metal “solar”medallion. Of course Justin claimed it was an accident and blamed it on “wardrobe malfunction”. But if you were to talk to anyone back then, nobody would believe it was “unintentional” but rather part of a stunt simply because it’s quite unusual for anyone to put a star on the breast for personal or private viewing *grin*.
Now that the ruling government’s most hated blogger RPK has exposed copies of 18-page memorandum submitted by Finance Ministry to the cabinet seeking endorsement for RM4.6 billion government loan to cover the cost over-run of the PKFZ project, Najib’s administration cannot deny anymore that it didn’t know anything about the scandal and hope to sacrifice former Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy and a few more small fishes – if that was the intention in the first place. The immediate reaction from Najib to punish those who leaked the Cabinet documents (under the name of Official Secreat Act, OSA) was sufficient to confirm that the government knew about the scandal since day one. Unlike Janet Jackson’s NippleGate, there’s no twinkle-twinkle little star to cover Najib’s administration breast.

Hence Najib’s cousin, Home Minister Hishammuddin changed the strategy and is tracking the identity of the “insider” who passed the documents to RPK. Now you know why Tiong King Sing wasn’t disturb a bit with Ong Tee Kiat’s action to expose the PKFZ scandal. Tiong knew nobody will be prosecuted because the stake was too high. If he were to be brought down, he’ll make sure he’ll bring along Transport Ministers, Finance Ministers and many of Najib’s administration top officials to become his cell-mates *grin*. Although this is a golden opportunity for Najib to prove to the voters that he’s a greater leader than Mahathir in fighting corruption, he couldn’t afford to shake the already sinking ship he’s commanding. Thus he would try his very best to cover or divert the attention from the PKFZ scandal.
Najib’s only silver bullet now is to perform exceptionally in the economy sector. He knew voters especially the Chinese voters were throwing their votes behind his advisor, former PM Mahathir, despite the dictatorship and numerous scandals because Mahathir did well in driving the country’s economy. Besides economy agendas, he also needs to do branding so that people can remember him for something he did. The mention of Mahathir and you’ll immediately think of Proton, KLCC, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and others. Thus, Najib needs an icon associate with him. Nope, he can’t glorify the Scorpene submarine because that would bring back the bad memory of Altantuya. Neither can he imitate his predecessor Abdullah Badawi in “Corridoring”. So far he has not find anything as gigantic as KLCC or Corridors but he’s learning fast and still accepting ideas.
