Najib wants to cut subsidies asking Malaysia's long suffering citizens to tighten up belt and sacrifice but himself splurging on himself. Look at how he spent the rakyat's money on renting 8 aircrafts for his comfort when travelling (from Malaysia Today: The monthly Anti-ISA watch in London: A counter move to Malaysia’s image-polishing abroad)
This month, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was featured in an article in the Monocle - a global briefing covering international affairs, business, culture and design. The article featured the PM’s ‘comfortable’ but ‘not luxuriant’ official travel fleet that included 4 aeroplanes and 4 helicopters, one of them a customised 737 Boeing Business Jet.
Why the Malaysian PM needs a fleet of 8 aircraft remains a mystery. A few weeks ago, the New York Times carried a two page coloured spread, ‘welcoming the First Lady of Malaysia, Her Excellency Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor’ to New York. In a similar fashion, the tired 1970’s looking Malaysian Tourism Office in Trafalgar Square has in the last month undergone an overhaul and makeover, soon to open its spanking new doors to the hum of ‘Malaysia, Truly Asia’

With the country spread across two main land masses – peninsular Malaysia and the northern third of the island of Borneo – Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak's fleet of planes and helicopters is vital
