NAJIB - A let down in UK

A massive crowd turn out in London to give a huge "BOOOOOO" to Najib at Mansion House which is the official residence of the City of London's Mayer. The turn out was even bigger than yesterday at Downing Street. The crowd was joined by Amnesty International, who have lashed out on Malaysian Authorities and Government on the harsh treatment on BERSIH demonstrators. In the UK, Amnesty commands considerable respect from authorities, NGO and government bodies.

Najib trip to UK was to attract potential investors. However, it was a true embarrassment because investors from developed countries such as UK will prefer to invest in countries with proper human rights and surely they will not be interested if there are many unhappy middle class, such as in Malaysia.

Only a few foreign investors turned up at the end and even some of the investors went over to have a chat with the crowd of protesters before heading in for the meeting. One of the investor said, we are well aware of the human rights issue in Malaysia and we are monitoring closely as it is and issue that we are concern.
