Syed Saddiq's day of madness

Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman's well publicised, albeit informal discussion, with the disgraced Najib Abdul Razak just goes to prove that most 18-year-olds have better judgment and credibility than the minister who represents Malaysia's youth. Syed Saddiq gave the wrong message to our youth. He set a bad example.

Our youngest MP, who championed the move to lower the Malaysian voting age to 18, disappointed us with his act of madness. Was Najib on a charm offensive? Had the wily Najib caught Syed Saddiq off-guard?

Under that smiling veneer, the polished look and the-trying-too-hard-to-please-everyone exterior, Syed Saddiq is just a young man who is naïve and a poor judge of character.

He may have been Asia's best debater for three consecutive years. He is probably Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's blue-eyed boy. His allegation that he had turned down a place at Oxford would have outraged many "tiger mothers".

Syed Saddiq should be praised because he wanted our "youth to have more say in policy matters, nation-building and be empowered to make more responsible decisions."

So, what happened to Syed Saddiq's integrity? He was wrong to entertain Najib. He need not be discourteous; he could have nodded to acknowledge Najib, and then walked away

He needs approval from 2/3 lah. If not cannot proceed..

The writer is the naive one lol.

proof that politicians never once cared for the people, it's just a game for them

"i am idiot"
all laugh

Not common. Usually only those who sit on fence type who want to please everyone and end up NATO (No Action Talk Only) or CBL (Cho Bo Lan) types like these people:

malaysian politician dedication = 0 all lalang. I prefer taiwan politicians, at least they care enough to bash the opposition/each other literally.

Want to contest also need money.
So confirm expect return on investment

What do you want Saddiq to do? Slap Najib on sight?

He sucks lah. He’s only there because he’s the future son in law of Tun M.

You all think that he’s there on merit meh? Even KJ have more street creds than him.

najib is chief umno advisor so he go asking for his advice

this

In public eye seems like he is enemy with Najib and TMJ, but I'm sure behind close doors they are bestest friends. Such is politics.

Just because we have different political beliefs, doesn't mean I must hate you or we cannot work together.

who care this budak

it's not he the next hokagePM

I'm sure he has more going for him, not sure who he is but from the past year seems he knows TMJ, Johor Royal family before joining politics. Brother is dating celeb Emma Maembong. He knew some famous indon actress, and help her out in sg.

This guy is practically part of malaysia's social elite.

Trust me when I say I never seen him anywhere in the diplomatic circles or any social events before his appointment as Minister. My wife and I have been attending diplomatic events and certain cocktail events for more than 10 years now. Even KJ has more street creds than this new guy.

It is correct thing to do.grow up hobbs

when people are suffering it is no longer a belief. It is calling for a revolution

Wat? U know how old are tun M's daughters?

Sorry. Typo. Granddaughter. Not daughter.

Keep your allies close, but your enemy closer

One of his daughter also already 62. Grandchildren got at least 30.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer they say.

You watch Last Czar is it? I don’t think malaysia at that level yet.
