Najib slips out quietly to Perth on Independence Day while exhorting the nation to spend thriftly

While this may be old news to many, I just caught this article where he made the following comments while in Perth on a supposedly private visit (but using Malaysian government's money, no less):

"We deliver what we promise; we will not promise you the sun, the moon and the galaxy. That will be for others to promise."

"We must be prudent and spend only what we can afford," he said.


RM 9 million spent for Najib's trip to Perth

While in Perth, Najib made a hasty visit to see some students there. To make matters worse, national news agency Bernama reported the students in Perth as praising Najib to the skies.

Compliments like "awesome" were used to describe his speech to them. But the overkill annoyed the students and many of posted the true situation on Facebook, again exposing the lies that surround the first couple.

"They totally changed and added stuff that we never said. And the whole thing was done before the speech and not after. I feel it is rather silly and unnecessary," Malaysiakini reported the student as saying.
