Blowing his own trumpet
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008It’s hardly news by now that Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi announced his new cabinet line-up.
I watched the news on TV a couple of times today and just couldn’t help but to pick up the line where the prime minister appeared to be praising his own self.
Watch the video by The Star and seek to 0:49.
I have [...] heard many times, reading many articles, and comments given by many people, that Pak Lah (Badawi’s nickname) has worked out many policies very well…
This is what we call masuk bakul something, something angkat sendiri in Malay. Forget already. But you know lah the masuk bakul thingy.
So our dear prime minister has heard many times, has read many articles and comments. Guess, he didn’t actually hear and read much.
Anyhow, what a great way to face a defeat: not admitting it.
