US keen on Malaysian model
The Shiite majority will be designated as new Iraqi ‘bumi’ whose privileges will be drawn up in a new contract that will be included in the constitution. “There will be no further discussion on the issue in the future as it will hurt the harmony,” Najib explained to eager Shiites yesterday. In addition to 7% discount on houses, the Shiites will receive preferential treatment in getting government reconstruction contracts. The Shiites will also be encouraged to apply for class F contractor licenses for small works projects throughout the country. “Peace comes with a price,” Najib further explained to rather despondent looking Sunnis and Kurdish minority representatives. He later asked Hisham to show the Iraqi PM the correct way to wave a keris. “Trust me, it works every time," Hisham told Ibrahim.
As the news of the new ruling spreads throughout the capital, thousands of Shiites were seen fighting for application forms to bid for contracts while the Sunnis and Kurds were busy trying to line up their Shiite ‘kaki’.
The new coalition government will also be led by the Shiite majority, with Sunnis being given portfolios of housing, health, transport while a Kurd will head the Works ministry. “In the spirit of gender equality, we also advised them to name an obese Shiite woman to head their international trade ministry,” Najib further added. “Better still if she is disabled, but they can also appoint someone with weak knees,” he clarified
In addition to the social contract, the Shiites will also be given all kinds of permits, including permits to import cars and to run Ramadan kiosks. “We have decided to give all of the Ramadan kiosks in Baghdad to the son of police chief,” explained Bagi al Kiosk, the officer in charge.
Also in Putrajaya, in order to prevent further attack on corrupt cabinet ministers, the cabinet today added itself to the endangered species list. Almost immediately, Kit Siang was fined RM 7,000 by parliament speaker for illegal poaching.
