British Advisor for the Malaysian Prime Minister ?

UPDATED with a calling card from another reader.

[caption id="attachment_1480" align="aligncenter" width="540"] The PM is also UMNO President[/caption]

I thank an anonymous commenter to a link which led to  the following 'hidden treasures'. The approx RM240,000 a month contract - approx RM1.4 million for SIX MONTHS - is certainly earth shattering by any standards.

What is even worse is that the Malaysian Government is being accused of directly employing a former APCO operative in the Prime Minister's Office.

Paul - APCO Paul-1

So, why is the Government of Malaysia via the Prime Minister's Office employing a former APCO operative? Wasn't APCO's contracts not renewed due to their links to war criminals and the Zionist state of Israel?

In 2009 this former APCO operative was paid approx RM1.4 million for only SIX MONTHS. How much does it cost the Government of Malaysia now for keeping this British Advisor for the Prime Minister?

Datuk Seri Najib Razak certainly owes us an explanation as to why this sovereign, independent nation's Prime Minister still requires a British Advisor by his side.... 57 years after Merdeka. I thought we are no longer a British colony.

What happened to the PM's long list of local Press secretaries and media advisors. Even a former NST Group Editor is in the PM's team, so why the need to maintain (and pay) for an advisor from our colonial masters?

Maybe its time for Najib's long time Press Secretary turned Media Director to clarify if the above letter that reveals a USD 420,000 SIX MONTH contract for a British Advisor is indeed genuine or is a falsified piece of document to defame the Prime Minister and his Media Director.

Please tell us if the Government of Malaysia has indeed employed a British Advisor for the Prime Minister of Malaysia. If the above letter and information, and the former APCO operative's latest calling card below,  is not true I'll retract and run an apology.

If it's true, we shall let the people to think and decide.

God bless Malaysia, her Prime Minister and all the patriots around him.

p/s Don't tell me the Apco consultant turned British Advisor has also been entrusted to draft Najib's speeches during the upcoming Umno General Assembly.

Najib likes to listen to white boys. Nothing wrong and as a PM he can be afforded this luxury.

Najib's press officers busy bitching about Datin Sri Rosmah blaming Datin Sri for all negative publicity on Najib. Conveniently covering their absence. Now it seems they have outsourced it to a Brit. Ini lah Transformasi

Kesimpulannya APCO tidak pernah keluar dari Pejabat Perdana Menteri Malaysia. Dahulu para blogger menuding jari kearah PM yang sering tertidur tetapi PM yang ini rupanya indah khabar dari rupa sebenar. Dahulu kita diberitahu APCO telah disingkirkan selepas kontrak yang ditandatagani semasa pemerintahan Pak Lah/Khairy/Kamaludin/Kalimullah tamat. Rupanya ada permainan silap mata yang lebih licik dari Najib anak Tun Razak ni.
Rupanya selama ini Tengku Sharifuddin telah berbohong kepada rakan-rakan media. Ketua2 pengarang pun agak terkejut dengan pendedahan muktahir. Rupanya permainan Najib anak Tun Razak serta pegawai beliau lebih licik dan jijik dari Kalimullah yang sering di cerca.
Kita maklum ramai pegawai Najib anak Tun Razak yang lebih selesa mendaki bukit dan gunung, meredah lembah dan paya mengukir nama di piala pertandingan bola sepak serta menubuhkan syarikat menjula rumput untuk santapan lembu. Ini semua bukan untuk Najib anak Tun Razak tetapi untuk 'positioning' diri sendiri.
Ketika Najib anak Tun Razak leka di buai mimpi serta arahan penasihat asing, pengarah media di khabarkan sering berdansa di padang golf. Ketika negara bergelumang dengan tragedi MH 370 pun di kata kan padang golf tidak di tingalkan.
Maaf jika pendedahan ini mengguris perasaan tetapi yang benar harus di ucapkan demi negara bangsa yang kita sama-sama cintai ini.
Walau perit dan pedih yang benar tetap benar. Najib anak Tun Razak harus mengambil masa untuk benar-benar bermuhasabah diri dan membuat keputusan jika beliau masih ingi meneruskan amanah sebagai presiden Umno dan PM.
Jika rasa diri tidak mampu dan tidak larat tolong letak jawatan secara terhormat. Bagaimanapun jika Najib anak Tun Razak ini sebenarnya tidak seperti yang diperkatakan, tolonglah bersihkan diri sendiri dan nilai semula setiap individu disekieliling anda.
Sila berikan gaji yang lumayan serta tanggungjawab yang berpadanan kepada pegawai-pegawai anda. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Yang gemar berbukit bergunung itu silalah di alih tugas ke lembah serta lurah. International Relations advisor seharusnya di tempatkan di Wisma Putera jika kita benar-benar memerlukan nasihat serta kepakaran seorang penasihat British seperti dahulu kala.
Sekian keluahan saya.

What do expect from a Malay leader who is no longer a Malay at heart, by appearance or in deed. He is so lost. Mana ada Malaysian Constitution kata apa-apa berkenaan SJKC/SJKT. Sebagai peguam saya pun tak faham kenapa Najib so not clever.
The Malaysian Constitution does not say anything about Chinese and Tamil schools and as such the PM is dumb to say these schools are protected under the constitution.

Ketua Bahagian kena suap, Melayu kena tipu.

pm tak pecaya pada org melayu.

dia pecaya kat mat salleh saja

+++ press secretary dia pun dia tak pecaya. tak boleh buat kerja. sebab tu dia ambik mat salleh buat kerja. tapi press secretary haprak tak kisah. janji duit masuk poket

mat kode said...

sistem pendidikan kita sucks sebab tu orang melayu tak ada ilmu, tak layak menasihat PM yg duduk lama di london.

kalau education sistem kita bagus, dah tentu pm ambil penasihat dari malaysia

rakyat biasa said...

Najib Gor dia mahu kekalkan sekolah vernacular Cina dan Tamil. Jadi persoalannya ialah sudah ke mana semangat seorang pemimpin utama untuk menyepadukan negara dengan sistem pendidikan nasional yang mengesahkan rakyat bukan mempecahbelahkannya.

Firm to assist new Malaysian government in strengthening communication
Hong Kong (August 10, 2009) – APCO Worldwide, continuing to broaden its activities in Asia, is opening a new office in Kuala Lumpur, Margery Kraus, president and chief executive officer, announced today. Among the office’s first clients is the Government of Malaysia under the government of Prime Minister Najib Razak.

“Malaysia continues to demonstrate that it is a major player in Asia, one of the great manufacturing nations for electronics and a sophisticated participant in global markets across many sectors,” said Kraus. “APCO’s ability to leverage strategic communication capabilities across borders mirrors the kind of leverage Malaysia has achieved in its approach to business and trade, making this a natural location for our expansion.”

One of the first clients of APCO’s new office will be the Malaysian government, which is retaining APCO to assist in evaluating its capabilities to communicate through new media. APCO will also assist the Malaysian government’s new leadership by sharing recent developments in strategic communication undertaken by governments in Europe, North America and Africa. Separately, APCO will be providing support in Washington, D.C., to Malaysia’s ambassador to the United States. http://kopitiam-bang-nan.blogspot.com/2010/03/ha-glokalpun-dari-apcohe-he.html

Jangan buang masa kerana tak akan ada seorang pun pemimpin Umno yang akan membangkitkan persoalan ini kepada Najib. Semua sudah kenyang di suap. Yes Sir. Everything ok Sir. Ketua Bahagian semua ok Sir. Kalau nak lantik agen Yahudi jadi Menteri Agama pun ok Sir. Janji kami kekal dalam jawatan sampai mati Sir. Lepas kami mati bagi jawatan kami kepada anak beranak kami Sir.

Aduhaaai ! Jika benar, PM Najib kena 'tender resignation' dengan segera tanpa syarat. Beliau tidak lagi layak mewakili rakyat majoriti Melayu.

Jangan panas. Nobody wants to topple Najib. He is doing it relatively good on his own, assisted by capable advisors.

For which allegation you want payslip and voucher Sheikh? You high on camel dung or what?

National Communication Team is led by a one term MP and good for nothing former Bernama journalist who can't even speak proper English is used as a front. Paul Stradlen does not report to the NCT puppet who also sits in Bernama. Paul Stradlen has direct access to Najib Razak's Media Director and Najib himself. NCT is just a shell and the real communication committee comprising Shabery Cheek, Rahman Dahlan, Khairy and others must take over. Whoever appointed the former MP to lead Prime Minister's communication outfit was not doing Najib a favor. Ask around in Bernama, his competency is a big question. Najib's Media Director must have had a hard time looking for someone who is not smarter than him.

Sdr Apanama,

Hishammudin, Liow Tiong Lai, Anifah Aman semua diarahkan baca script statement yang disediakan Paul Stradlen dan pasukan beliau sendiri (5-6 orang Mat Salleh). Pegawai media tempatan hanya angguk atau beri lampu hijau menerusi telepon. Benar atau palsu?

Some of najib's dogs are on here barking. Which is a good sign. The bad thing is they wont tell him anything. How many moon has it been since Dr.M said he withdrew all support for najib? Nothing happened since. It goes coockoo for 2 3 days and silent. I dont believe najib even said anything about that issue and just allowed the thing to wither away. The same thing will happen here. He has no obligation to resign so he wont. Unless the number 2 starts yapping like he did with paklah, expect najib to just ignore and be on plane mode with 2 middle fingers up at those who are against him. This guy is as thick as a horse's cock. So dumb yet so elegant. When even a statesman like Dr.M failed, chance aint so bright that we might succeed. Thanks on the expose. Keep up the good fight and lets hope this idiot goes away by whatever and whichever way before he ruins this nation and all of us that is in it for good

Ahjibgor is PM for 1Malaysia. He refused to be distracted over his commitment as President of UMNO.

Tertera dibawah ialah logik akal binatang peliharaan yang meroyan setelah makan najis -
>>>>>>

Adalah tidak salah untuk melantik mereka yang berkebolehan untuk mengendalikan komunikasi kerajaan di peringkat antarabangsa.

Malahan jika Paul dilantik penasihat Perdana Menteri pun (yang sebenarnya tidak pernah berlaku), ia bukan isu besar kerana tugas penasihat Perdana Menteri ialah memberi nasihat dan pandangan, bukannya memberi arahan yang mesti dipatuhi seperti penasihat zaman British.

Soal bayaran RM 1.4 juta dalam masa enam bulan seperti yang didakwa oleh Apanama belum dibuktikan. Namun jika benar pun bagi kontrak jangka pendek seperti itu untuk seorang profesional media di peringkat antarabangsa ia bukanlah luar biasa.

Di peringkat lobi antarabangsa “sekumpulan ahli perniagaan Malaysia” pernah membayar US$1.2 juta (kira-kira RM5 juta) kepada pelobi Jack Abramoff bagi mengatur pertemuan Tun Dr Mahathir dengan Presiden Amerika Syarikat George W.Bush pada Mei 2002. Ini bagi memulihkan imej Malaysia diperingkat antarabangsa kerana diburuk-burukkan oleh Anwar Ibrahim.

Justeru jika pun Paul dibayar RM 1.4 juta dalam masa enam bulan, namun jika diukur dengan publisiti positif yang diterima negara ini di media antarbangsa tanpa mengeluarkan bayaran iklan ia jauh lebih berbaloi. -

sebagai PM Malaysia perlu yakin pada rakyat dan bangsa sendiri. sayang jika kita sendiri tak mahu iktiraf bangsa dan rakyat kita sendiri. ini lah yang diamalkan pemimpin keluarga bangsawan.
