How to become popular or otherwise

Khairy is now so well known with his stated ambition to become the PM by the age of 40 that there are actually ‘Anti-Khairy’ websites, which I just discovered when I did a search!


With such an ambition made public, it is only natural that there are many senior contenders who have to behave nice to him while his father-in-law is the incumbent with the power to decide who can be candidates in the coming elections. He had already admitted that he has to ‘make hay while the sun shines’, well, not exactly in those words.

There is a saying used in the Hong Kong serials: ‘ngo thai tou hei ke cheen, ngo charng tou hei ke hau peen’ which literally means ‘I look at his front and I hate him right to his back’. The reason why I am saying this is that I overheard someone at the coffeeshop saying that he would not like to see his picture all over the public places of business as Prime Minister. In other words, already there are some people who do not look forward to seeing him as such.

In the meantime, just imagine this picture in the shops a few years from now:



For us who are non-Malays and especially non-Umno citizens, we have to get used to whoever will become the future Umno President and Prime Minister and hope that he will truly be PM for all.
