Najib was accompanied today by Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon and Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, both minister’s in the Prime Minister’s Department, as well as Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Tan Sri Bernard DompokAlso in the entourage are National Fatwa Council chairman Prof Tan Sri Dr Abdul Shukor Husin and Archbishop Tan Sri Murphy Nicholas Xavier Pakiam.
We understands the prime minister’s personal visit is to help repair frayed ties arising from the Catholic Church’s legal suit to use “Allah” to refer to the Christian god in its Bahasa Malaysia publication.The case is pending in the Court of Appeal after the church won the right in the High Court on December 31, 2009.
Today, Najib formalised ties between Malaysia and the Vatican.
The prime minister said Malaysia had agreed to establish diplomatic relations as it was keen to share its experience and promote world peace and harmony with like-minded countries like the Vatican.
Malaysia was previously one of 17 nations that have yet to set up formal links with the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
To Gain the Confidence of 78% Christianity of Sarawak and Sabah People in Next Election
As a Malaysian Blogger,What is the purpose of Najib visiting Pope Benedict XVI in Rome?It is very obviously that Najib has lost a lot of confidence from Peninsular Malaysia,as we can see the result via Facebook page.According to Merdeka Investigation,Sarawak and Sabah have 78% people who are Christian followers and also are the highest percentage in all states of Malaysia.Many young generation in Peninsular Malaysia are tired with the way of Najib to handle people.Najib has no chance to win the next election therefore he has to go to Rome and meet Pope Benedict XVI who is the ruler of Christianity.Najib believed that he could gain the confidence and trust from 78% Sarawak and Sabah people who majority are christian faithful followers.Even Najib goes to meet British PM,David Cameron or Rome,Pope Benedict XVI also cannot help him to win in the coming national election because Malaysian people wont believe Najib once Najib has lied in 709 BERSIH 2.0 Rally.
