Umno getting desperate in Ijok?

From The Sun today:

The Barisan National (BN) is leaving nothing to chance in Kampung Jaya Setia within the Ijok constituency.

Yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced a special RM3.5 million allocation from the Prime Minister's Department for seven mosques, 16 suraus and six schools for the constituency.

"Although there has not been any request for these but we feel that we need to do this as a sign of the BN's commitment," he said during a ceramah in Kampung Jaya Setia...

Looks like Najib is banking on Malaysians' inability to differentiate between the government and a party trying to contest a seat. But never mind lar, since these are not vote buying according to the EC chief.

It is a sign of desperation perhaps that they see it fit to announce plenty of election sweeteners which we simply do not know (I for one will say it will never see the light of day) if they'll ever be able to be implemented. The buildings promised by Najib will take at least 2-3 years to build even when on a fast track basis. So, Kg Jaya Setia folks really should take these promises with a huge dollop of salt.

Anyway, in the same article hear what Khir Toyo has to say about Khalid, the PKR candidate:

"Division heads in this area also tell me he is a very stingy man and if he has RM10 million, I will cut off my small finger if he uses his money for Ijok," said Najib, adding that it was difficult for the public to meet up with an important man such as a "Tan Sri".

Wow! Would we see Khir Toyo donate his personal RM10mil fund as well for "development" in Ijok? May be Khalid should cut off his small finger if Toyo will be as generous with his own money as he is with taxpayers' money. Also, can I just call your mobile phone number pasted on big posters around PJ to make an appointment to see you Datuk Seri Khir? I'm pretty sure a Datuk Seri such as you will be much easier to meet up with compared to a Tan Sri...no?

Malaysians really need to ask themselves if this is the kind of leader they want to keep voting into office till 2054.
