It All Went Downhill From Here.

Was researching our very first Prime Minister (local equivalent of the President title) for an ad, and --after a horribly un-paragraphed, lengthily disorganised Wikipedia entry -- found this page.


Note how both the website's tagline and header hammer in the fact that Mr Tunku Abdul Rahman was the First And GREATEST. The Internet is not always a sacred chalice of accuracy, but in this case I beg to proclaim:

That headline is absolutely right.

In all probability he won the Politician With The Least Shit Up His Creek award, back in the day. If he were around now he'd be among maybe three people contending for it.

Today we have a dude whose idea of keeping the peace is forcefully silencing people with opinions (with gas, cannons & the works; mark my words this Saturday). And writing bad slogans.

The occasional violence I can deal with. But one more crappy sloganised campaign? When the next one is launched, the best thing for everyone to do is to Collectively Not Give A Shit.

You know what, stick THAT on a banner. Or a poster, or a laughably crap logo done in 5 mins in MS Paint. DEAR NAJIB, WE COLLECTIVELY DO NOT GIVE A SHIT.
