Anwar sings about ‘reformasi’ while Najib sings love songs

Most of the time politicians, are serious and they mean business.

However there are times when a more casual side of them appears and we are caught by surprise.

For example, there was that one time when Malaysia’s ex-prime minister Najib Razak performed Cliff Richard’s ‘Young Ones’, a classic oldie last year.

He is well known for liking karaoke and there have been other videos online showing him singing songs like ‘Sha La La La La’ and also a cover of a blues song proclaiming his innocence.

Another politician known for singing is Anwar Ibrahim, but instead of love songs, he sings songs about ‘reformasi’ instead.

It’s sometimes easier to get a message across through music and these two politicians are reaching out to the public in way that has long been popular.
