Make no mistake, he's accountable

A group of Indian Malaysian leaders and academicians have been invited to meet Abdullah Ahmad Badawi tomorrow at his Putrajaya office. However, Malaysiakini quotes an unnamed observer as saying that the whole exercise is merely a PR gig orchestrated by the 'Fourth Floor' boys to soothe things over.

"The PM is being misled by those who organised the meeting by leaving out the majority of the Indian representation."

We've read this over and over by observers and experts, haven't we?

"The PM has been kept in the dark." "Survey results were skewed to make the PM feel he's well-liked." "Letters and memos addressed to the PM never reach him." "The IGP is hiding facts from him."

Guys, this is bullshit.

No man is that dumb. Or can afford to be. Ignorance is a very cheap reason coming from the highest govt official in the country; especially if it's about feedback and comments on the very administration he runs. If a person surrounds himself only with sycophants who fight to carry his balls, then that's because he CHOSE to be in denial. If he'd wanted the truth, he could've clicked on any one of the hundreds of blogs and electronic newspapers on the internet to get a good idea. It's that easy and i am sure he's done it; i'm sure he knows.

If Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had wanted to do something worthy of his position, for the genuine betterment of Malaysia, he could have done it. That's what the Seat is for.

Instead, he signed the approval for ISA detention of five Hindraf leaders today, further digging into the scab of our fracturing society. Mr Clean and Mr Nice is anything but.

Meanwhile his deputies and lieutenants continue to have free reign barking up seditious lines, even blatantly unconstitutional ones. i'll say this much: Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has single-handedly put this country into a fog of uncertainty that nobody can even foretell what would happen over the next few days. Between light and darkness, he chose the fouler end.

Stop making excuses for Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

He is the Prime Minister of Malaysia. He is accountable for every snot action and policy that's shredding this country apart. And, sleeping or not, he WILL be made accountable yet.
