Michael Backman vs Rafidah Aziz
Michael Backman is back.
Started with “While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry”, he is now coming back with another interesting and controversial post criticizing Rafidah Aziz, Malaysia’s Minister for Trade and Industry.
Some highlights of Michael Backman’s new article, “Malaysia bites back and industriously trades the insults” :
“The minister, Rafidah Aziz, declared somewhat imperiously that she didn’t care what I said because I am a foreigner and I probably don’t know much about Malaysia anyway.”
“Rafidah added to her remarks about my column that no Malaysian should say such things……. But then the idea that Malaysians cannot comment publicly about how their country is run but a non-Malaysian can, is disgraceful.“
“Perhaps Rafidah needs to be reminded who pays her salary.”
“…recent UN figures show that from 2004 to 2005, foreign investment in Malaysia fell by 14 per cent, when the world economy was enjoying one of its longest periods of growth. One might wonder what the Trade and Industry Minister has actually been doing.”
“…. an assistant minister told the Malaysian Parliament that Malaysia’s first astronaut to be sent into space next year aboard a Russian space mission will be tasked to play batu Seremban, a traditional Malay children’s game played with pebbles, will do some batik painting and will make teh tarik, a type of Malaysian milky tea, all to see how these things can be done without gravity.”
Hey, the idea of making Teh Tarik without gravity is cool. It is definitely going to be an eye opener, and for sure, an expensive one.

Rafidah -> Not enough brain cells. Eat too much nasi rendang in her meals. And still not enough brain cells.
Foreign investment drop 14% -> Rafidah not using her brain cells even she is lacking of it.
Astronaut make teh tarik, play batu Seremban, paint kain batik in space -> Totally brainless. Whoever thought of this idea should go back kindergarten because kids will definitely like this idea.
