I was piqued by the comment made by<\/a> Tan Sri Annuar Musa:<\/p>\n

\u201cI see people wearing Obama T-shirts. While it is good, let us not get carried away with what happened in other nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also prefer if people could wear T-shirts bearing Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, soon to be our next Prime Minister and Umno president,\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His reasoning is that “Najib had displayed traits of nationalism of Umno founder Tun Onn Jaafar and the long-term foresight of his late father, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein”.<\/p>\n

But, really, does one need to ask for respect and admiration? If you are good, it will come to you, right? If they are people really supporting Obama, then they will wear t-shirts, become volunteers etc. Same goes here. Unfortunately, there’s no election involving Najib. So, who want to waste money, especially when we have been advised to be prudent and save more money?<\/p>\n

I really can’t remember seeing pictures of local leaders in t-shirts – maybe JAKIM will consider it as idol worship \ud83d\ude42 . However, there are t-shirts of RPK in the “free RPK” campaign.<\/p>\n

Have we seen t-shirt of Samy Vellu, Ong Ka Ting, Dato Subra, Ling Liong Sik, Mahathir etc.? Not sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
