Pakatan Harapan crowns me as “Najib’s Top Blogger”
Over those six years that I ran the FAC, I was paid a total of RM3,000 (no, not RM3,000 a month, RM3,000 for six years). So, they would expect Najib to pay me at least RM1,000 for supporting him over the last 11 months if Anwar’s family can pay me RM3,000 for the six years work I did with the FAC.

Pro-Pakatan Harapan blogs and news portals have crowned me as Najib Tun Razak’s “Top Blogger”, a move that I would regard as the greatest honour in my 25 years of political activism and political writing since 1994 (before 1994 I was writing non-political pieces for Berita MCOBA and The Star).
An even greater honour is the fact that I achieved the status of “Najib’s Top Blogger” without receiving a single penny as salary or compensation from Najib — unlike those DAP or Pakatan Harapan cyber-troopers who are being paid between RM3,000 to RM15,000 a month.
In fact, in May last year, I phoned Najib and told him that even though he is no longer Malaysia’s Prime Minister I will continue to support him — mainly, because in spite of what people might say about him, I believe he has done a lot of good for Malaysia and all these allegations against him have yet to be proven in a court of law (once the court sends Najib to jail for stealing RM42 billion I will reconsider my position).
Pakatan Harapan has crowned me as “Najib’s Top Blogger”
After I told Najib this, he paused a minute or two and said he will not be able to pay me as his money has been frozen by the government. I told him I do not expect payment. If it is money that I want then I would write for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad instead.
A Special Branch officer spoke to me a month or so ago and told me the Special Branch is aware that I am not being paid a penny and that Najib is not financially supporting me. They also know I am struggling to make ends meet in the UK. I asked the officer whether his boss the Director is aware of this and he said yes.
Anyway, I do not expect the Pakatan Harapan people to believe this. After all, when I set up and ran the Free Anwar Campaign (FAC) for six years until August 2004 (after which I launched Malaysia Today), Anwar Ibrahim’s family paid me for my work.
Saifuddin Nasution asked me to set up the FAC and Dr Rahim Ghouse promised to pay me RM7,500 a month but in the end I got paid just RM3,000 over six years
Over those six years that I ran the FAC, I was paid a total of RM3,000 (no, not RM3,000 a month, RM3,000 for six years). So, they would expect Najib to pay me at least RM1,000 a year for supporting him over the last 11 months if Anwar’s family can pay me RM3,000 for the six years work I did with the FAC.
Honestly, though, the badge of honour for being crowned “Najib’s Top Blogger” is more valuable than getting paid RM1,000 a year. Furthermore, I would be above the DAP and Pakatan Harapan cyber-troopers who are being paid RM3,000-15,000 a month to write. None of them are thinkers and, so far, not a single analytical piece has been produced. All they can do is maki or curse. At least I am more intellectual than these DAP and Pakatan Harapan cyber-troopers.
For RM3,000 I was arrested eight times and went to jail three times
Oh, by the way, my new Philosophy course in Oxford starts tomorrow (my ninth course from Oxford and Cambridge since I came here 10 years ago) so there may be days when you will not see any articles from me. For the next few months you might not see two or three articles a day like now but I will still be updating the site.
I bet none of those DAP and Pakatan Harapan cyber-troopers who maki me every day have taken nine courses from Oxford and Cambridge like I have. So, I really do deserve being crowned “Najib’s Top Blogger”. Terima kasih, Pakatan Harapan!
