So we have our new Prime Minister, and among the first thing I looked for after the swearing in were the acceptance speech and wishes from world leaders.

I think the speech is just fine. Nothing to be compared of that of Obama's awe-inspiring and rhetorical winning speech. Well, speech is indeed not everything but if that is the easiest way to spot and establish vision and style of governance between lines of eloquence, why not give some hoot?

The speech could do a little to Malaysians' confidence in where are we going from now.

So I tick it off.

And so I read wishes from world leaders after giving them few days to gather their thoughts and come up with something creative and relationship-tying wishes. I expected something from the G8, or any other economic powerhouse to bid our premier luck.

I reckon this is a reflection of their relationship with our country and how serious they are in maintaining close ties as far as economic growth, information and technology sharing and international liaisons and branding are concerned. 

Much to my dismay, none of them is taking us seriously (it seems).

I couldn't see any Obama, Brown, Aso, Medvedev, Berlusconi, Sarkozy or Merkel's silver tongue anywhere in the wish - but only some hard-working ambassadors.

International confidence? Fingers crossed.

Wishes from world leaders, I put it on KIV.

So Pak Lah is now a Tun, the highest federal title you can get in the country. I can only giggle upon reading that the first thing Tun Lah plans to do as a retired premier is to catch up on some sleep.

And the giggle quickly ascended to laugh not long after.

Sleep tight, Tun.

Someone is back, the first member of UMNO Baru - keeping up to his promise to come back in after Tun Lah steps down.

The nation's eyes are now on three by-elections of two Bukits and a Batang. Pun intended ha ha, so much for Asian's infamous sex drive. Okay let's not go into that.

Traditionally, elections would split the country into two or more fractions, and the prognosis is usually quite awful to mention.

I hope we can recover well after that and do something good for the future of the country.

I can only wish the country well for we have only 3923 days to 2020, the year we all agreed to put our wawasan on. 

P/s - And 1883 days if Malaysia's World Cup 2014 plan is somewhere in Najib's mind.

  1. i hope that someone can do something at least to ease the situation in our country..huhu..

  2. hope najib will change 2 be a good leader..

  3. For a young person, you got it spot on.How can the world leaders congratulate him when their newpapers implicate him with murder days before he was sworn in as PM.

    Anywhere, I too found it laughable that Tun Lah is catching on his sleep. I thought he was sleeping on the job all this while.

  4. I have no problem with Pak Lah being conferred the Tunship, but the fact that his wife got it too, well I have to say that it boils me a bit.

    He also did say before that he plans to do some gardening, look after the grandchildren upon retirement. No bickering with present government, no interference with their decision, certainly no blog whatsoever. Of course he hinted at Tun M's actions la when he said that. Still when you have a former PM who merely looks forward to relaxing, or a honeymoon period I'd rather say after his premiership, you know you're in trouble. We need leaders who work tirelessly despite their positions, and despite their lack of involvements. We need advices from those who had been there, done that. Yet we have one here who cited that he didn't intend to do all that, for fear of causing disturbance. I'm sorry, but that seems to me like a cover-up for ignorance.

  5. I totally agree with Cepe..We need at least advise from outside, from someone who had at least experience something from what he had during his past service to the country..

  6. Gοoԁ post! We агe linκing to thіs great pοst on оur site.
    Keep uρ the great writing.
