Well...if our PM Loves to smoke Expensive Cigars in posh Hotels, then it could explain what he has IN COMMON with his lavish wife!
As a smoker myself I know Cigars are not CHEAP and often smoked on 'special occasions' while for the Lavish & Wealthy it is seen as a sign of "STATURE & CLASS" compared to just cigarettes or even a pipe which is just for you average joe who can't AFFORD a Havana Cigar or the expensive classy Humidor to keep/store them in.

Curi-curi Wang Malaysia Now if the WIFE is all about "STATURE" and "CLASS" with her lavish spending...I am pretty SURE she'd want her HUSBAND to also "APPEAR" CLASSY as well...coz it's not too much about the CIGAR that I see from this photo...
But in a way it DOES seem to show "WHO's" really IN-CHARGE and WEARING the PANTS...which is definitely NOT Najib. -w.i.w.c

Dennis Keller Sonny Wong you are really an idiot. LGE living in "good luxury lifestyle"? Didn't you know he was flying in an Air Asia economic seat? Didn't you know he frequently patronizes the regular coffee shop and mamak stall for a meal? Didn't you know he was walking bare-footed, without fearing any sharp objects in the ground, while walking in flood water to visit flood victims? I don't come across any politician more humility and love-caring like LGE.
Josh Ch oh yeah micahel chia we left one more thing is to declare how much is the cost of the cigar ... let us have time to find u the fact :) good question
Shinji Pearce Making this country into bankruptcy is what he did. Spending millions on stuff our country do not need is another. Making shame of our country is worse. And I don't think this picture is LAME at all. Small stuff makes big things happen..

Keith Ang Some of u r missing the fact why admin is making a big fuss about it. yes expensive cigar and liquor is fine when u can afford it, and some ppl will argue- he has the money so he does what he wants with it. first, he is the pm meaning he has no private life because he is a role model to ppl in malaysia. so alot of u seem to have forgot at the current moment our debt has risen up to about 53.5% closing the 55% danger mark. And our pm is spending so lavishly while we ppl suffer. thats the point admin is making. oh and i read he was already rich before he became the pm. to those with that thinking and making that statement, how do u think he got rich? i give u a hint, go france and ask about the sub contract. oh thats not only one of the ways he got rich even if u r cheeky enough with the rebuttal of thats only 1. p/s that deal is 1bil euro- sometimes one also is enough and 24mil ring doesnt seem so expensive any all the sudden or even a 50k hand bag. oh oh or even cigars.... ZZZZZ
Ng Heng Loon sorry but i dont see any issue with having a cigar. some of the cigar is quite affordable, and not only the rich and famous. in this case Jib kor did nothing wrong. pls remove this post so people will not have a impression that the public is being too bias into anti BN.

Laura Anne Lee actually, in my opinion... I don't think that one has to stop doing or having all the "show class and status" stuff just to show that the country can unite and behave as one.

How Malaysia’s Leader Is Damaging His Reformist Reputation
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has styled himself a reformer, but his government's prosecution of protesters shows he still has a long way to go.Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak appears determined to give himself a political black eye. On June 13, government prosecutors will haul into court 10 leaders of Bersih, a coalition of civil society groups campaigning to clean up the country’s corrupt elections commission. The government is demanding damages for destruction to public property during a clash between Bersih demonstrators and police in Kuala Lumpur on April 28. At least 100,000 people marched for clean elections in the Malaysian capital that day, while tens of thousands more joined protests in 11 other cities across the country and 80 cities around the world. Whether or not the government wins compensation in court, however, no amount of money will undo the damage it is inflicting upon its own reputation by pursuing the case.
The April 28 demonstrations were a stunning show of discontent in a country where protests are rarely tolerated. In half a century, Malaysia has advanced from a poor British colony with a plantation economy to an ambitious, middle-income nation with science parks, cybercities and skyscrapers. But in a trade-off typical of Asia, the Barisan National coalition, which has ruled the country since independence in 1957, curtails civil liberties and keeps a tight rein on political opposition in exchange for delivering prosperity. That governing model, however, contains the seeds of its own decay. Malaysia’s successful development “translates into a better-educated electorate who have more sophisticated demands and expectations,” political scientist Prof. Farish Noor tells TIME.
(MORE: Malaysia Opposition Leader Cleared of Sodomy, Paving Way for Fierce Election Fight)
In recent years, the government has found it increasingly difficult to meet those expectations. According to World Bank data on the Gini coefficient, a measure of wealth inequality, the gap between rich and poor in Malaysia is larger than it is in neighboring Thailand, where inequality has been a factor driving civil unrest and political violence in recent years. Since the beginning of the global economic crisis in late 2008, Noor says there is also a “growing anxiety” among the middle classes in Malaysia “who feel their jobs and economic opportunities are threatened.”
Keenly aware of the escalating problems, Najib has tried to present himself as a reformer. The steps he has taken so far, however, haven’t done much to improve BN’s image as increasingly corrupt, ill-equipped to deal with global economic complexities and out of touch with the aspirations of significant segments of the population. In 2008, BN was shocked when opposition parties captured five of the country’s 13 states in national elections—the worst showing in the coalition’s history. If voters are more dissatisfied now, they are also more frustrated: few can see how real change can be achieved as long as the BN controls access to the media and elections continue to be riddled with irregularities. Najib’s attempts at reform “ring hollow when the electoral system remains flawed,” Datuk Ambiga Sreenavasan, Bersih chairperson one of the defendants in the case brought by the government, tells TIME. “The stark reality is that genuine reform will not benefit those in power.”
(PHOTOS: Living in Malaysia’s Melting Pot)
Najib has received credit for repealing the draconian Internal Security Act that was used to suppress dissent. But he then turned around and decided to prosecute Bersih leaders over the violence on April 28. Phil Robertson of Human Rights Watch contends that video evidence shows security forces were actually responsible for the clashes. The forces initially allowed demonstrators into Merdeka (Independence) Square, which the government had previously declared off limits, and then began attacking the demonstrators with tear gas and batons for breaching the area. “If the prime minister was a true reformer, he would have condemned this violence and called for an independent inquiry by the Human Rights Commission,’’ Sreenavasan says.
The irony is that Sreenavsan believes Najib truly wants to be a reformer, but is constrained by the realities of his governing coalition–he relies heavily on the support of politicians who control rural provinces in a semi-feudal style. To appease rural voters, Najib and his coalition have showered them with populist policies, such as a new minimum wage that will raise incomes for an estimated 3.2 million people and a 13% pay rise for civil servants. By contrast, they have ignored Bersih’s eight demands for freer and fairer elections, such as cleaning the voter rolls of fake names.
Enacting electoral reforms would benefit the government. The coalition would probably still prevail at the ballot box because of its populism and emerge with a stronger mandate because it obtained its victory fair and square. Instead, the rulers are opting to suppress Bersih. That will only serve to stoke a political pressure cooker, deepen divisions and undercut the legitimacy of the government. “This is nothing less than a battle for the political soul of Malaysia,’’ Robertson says. No matter the outcome of the court case, it’s a battle that is far from over.
