“If in Egypt one million youths gathered in Tahrir Square to change that country’s leadership... in Malaysia, one million youths gathered to defend Putrajaya,” he said.
“Are you willing to defend Putrajaya?” he asked repeatedly, to cheers from the 8,000-strong crowd.
One million youths packed into a 8000-strong crowd? Either The Malaysian Insider has got its math wrong or I overestimated Najib's intelligence.
I'm kidding. The assembly was a 3-day thing, from what I gather, and one million is the total number of visitors to the place over the 3 days. But I doubt one million people gathered to 'defend' Putrajaya...more likely just to have some fun at what looked like a pretty hip festival - after all, out of the one million in three days (i.e. about 300 000 a day) only 8000 turned up for Najib's inspirational little speech.
“Some call me the Father of Transformation; I don’t know [if the description is accurate], but you all are the catalysts of change,” he said.
And who exactly calls you the 'Father of Transformation'? Ibrahim Ali? Trying to coin a name for yourself by 'subtly' slipping it into declarations like this is...pathetic.
And to answer your question, no [it is not accurate].
Many were clad in jeans and hotpants, although some took to wearing T-shirts and button badges bearing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s smiling visage and what has become his administration’s motto: Transformation.
Hotpants? Oh no. Najib, you're going to have a field day with Ibrahim Ali banging on your door demanding to know why you had disrespectful immigrants displaying such counter-culture at a sophisticated event, or Hishamuddin will be calling those people 'dirty' before you know it.
