“We won’t allow any attempts to sabotage Malaysia/China relations.” Who said that? Mega thief Najib Razak who has been bought off by Beijing. The CPG gave him twice the amount allegedly needed to pay for for the phantom East Coast railway project so that he could pay half 1MDB’s debt to IPIC.

It is interesting to note that despite widespread publicity over this criminal deal Beijing has never denied it. They probably know that it can be proved so their only course is to say nothing:

More interesting is the question of why Najib thought it necessary to beat the China drum again. Chinese New Year provided the pretext but not the reason. There were any amount of flabby pro-Chinese statements that he could have made as overtures to the Malaysian Chinese community but he chose to bow and scrape to Beijing.

Does he really think that Malaysians of Chinese origin are holding their breath for the arrival of Chinese communism to control Malaysia? Even more pertinently does he think that the majority Malay community, which he regularly robs, are also keen on such an outcome.?

The only explanation for such massive stupidity on his part is that he is doing what Beijing tells him to do. If so the Chinese Foreign Ministry would do well to take a closer look at Malaysian public opinion. Or does that just not matter? As in China itself.
