One wonders what the citation would be for Mr. Najib Razak when he is conferred an Honorary Degree from Monash University:
Vice-Chancellor Professor Ed Byrne is pleased to confirm that YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, Prime Minister of Malaysia will be visiting Monash on Friday 4 March, 2011.
Monash University staff are invited to attend the presentation ceremony of an Honorary Degree and the delivery of the Keynote Address by our Honourable guest.
Would it be for his long association with a dictator who regularly thrashed Australia and its leaders?
Would it be for his survival skills in the intriguing world of UMNO politics, having survived with his dubious record against his more popular colleagues ?
Would it be for his role in raising racial and religious tensions in Malaysia to unprecedented heights in his short stint as Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Or maybe it would be for some mundane agreement that he made with Monash University?
Malaysians wonder.
