PPBM - People's Preferred Band of Monkeys?


Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) is part of the coalition government of Malaysia. Prime minister of this government, Mahathir Mohamad is the leader of PPBM. There is a lack of talent in PPBM beyond Mahathir, who is well known for his authoritarian leadership. Ministers appointed by Mahathir from his own PPBM party are looking more like jokers than serious leaders.

1st Joker - Mohd Redzuan Mohd Yusof, entrepreneur development minister, has neither entrepreneur skills nor ministerial leadership. He is more interested in 'flying car' than entrepreneur developments for the people. Malaysia is not known for aeronautical engineering, aviation excellence, battery technology, material science, etc; which are absolutely required to build a flying car. You are talking about building something akin to a helicopter or an airplane. Malaysia can not even build a car without paying for and adopting the technology from Japan or China. There you have it - entrepreneur minister who boasts about building a flying car. Below is the 1st impression of his model flying car:













Mohd Redzuan further claimed that this flying car project is strictly private funded by corporate entities without using public funds. Malaysian parliament’s public accounts committee (PAC) has however disputed Mohd Redzuan’s claim that no public funds were used for the “flying car” project. A Malaysian governmental entity had to channel RM20 million into the company undertaking this flying car because of Mohd Redzuan.

The prototype showcased eventually was a ready-made drone (eHang) from China that is available for sale to the public.



















This minister is also the one who smokes a cigar when there is a big signboard of  No Smoking. He is clearly not serious about abiding the laws or cares for the well-being of others.




2nd joker from PPBM will be detailed next month.
