Ungku Aziz is Pak Lah's supporter

Ungku Aziz: Why Pak Lah is different from others

KUALA LUMPUR: Three factors distinguish Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from his four illustrious predecessors, said Royal Professor Ungku Aziz.

He said Abdullah was the first Prime Minister to declare an unambiguous priority for the dejected rural people, as compared with the others who relegated this to a lesser position in favour of industrial development.

Ungku Aziz said the second factor was that, in line with his noble aim, Abdullah was making a game attempt to redress the imbalance of rural poverty.

“Thirdly, unlike some people who melepas batuk di tangga (are superficial), Abdullah has sincerely and boldly come out in favour of genuine national unity embracing all races,” he said in his speech at the launch of the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz Chair at Universiti Malaya.

Abdullah was a former student of the university more than 40 years ago.

Wah! Ini uncle also kuat lihai wor. He simply hentam! But then this fellow is brave lor, at least he's not scared kena dragged down from the stage for making such a speech. What he said has some truth lah. But I'm not all for Pak Lah. PM or Dr M, both I don't really like...their old man syndrome has really started to annoy me. Macam budak-budak!

Even Pak Lah was a former student also no need to angkat him so high eh. Later the lubang hidung kembang till the KTM also can pass through ler. Need him to sponsor some money is it? Then no need use this method lar, old trick liao. Improve your university first, don't let it drop again, then you can ask anyone you like to chip in...
