‘Bossku’ is coming ... or not


Pls etch out Najib sticker

IT was one day after the one year anniversary of the fall of Barisan Nasional. If you were in Sandakan on the east coast of Sabah on Friday and witnessed the rock star reception ‘”bossku” Datuk Seri Najib Razak received, you would not have thought Pakatan Harapan is now in control of the Federal government.

The nearly hysterical crowd, shouting “Malu apa bossku” (what’s the shame my boss?)”, was mostly Muslim bumiputra of Bajau, Suluk and Sungai descent.
