1Malaysia... ahmmm... 1Region... 1World

Barely have I exhausted the crass list of IMalaysia Ini & Itu, Najib now talks of 1Region and 1World.

He calls that the 1Malaysia concept for the world, and money must flow out of the country in perpetuity.

The Paris Price-tag: US$5 million (launching fund) and US$1 million annually (open-ended).

Objectives (Tersurat): South-South Co-operation.

Objectives (Tersirat): Instant international recognition can be earned bought nowadays.

What's that pepatah Melayu again?

Kera di hutan disusu,
anak di pangkuan mati kelaparan.

Remember the story of Isrin Basitul I highlighted in Screenshots during my visit to Pitas and Kudat in Sabah with Professor Jeffrey Sachs last January?

I am talking about Resource Curse, and I am thinking of the likely impact on the abject poor in Sabah and Terengganu despite having God endow them with petroleum for decades.

You mean the new thinking is to donate to UNESCO every year so that they can help our own people like Isrin in return? You mean charity must not start from home anymore?

You mean this is Najibnomics?
