This issue first surfaced soon after Pak Lah became our PM, a letter writer to the NST paper questioned whether we should Pak Lah Pak Lah now that he is the CEO of this nation. See this blog and read the letter entitled :: Addressing the PM right and proper. Now someone else, none other than our International Trade and Industry MINIster Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz, has taken up the issue. She has suggested that we should stop addressing our new PM as "Pak Lah". The reason why maybe seen in what she had to say further :: "I don't want outsiders to call him Pak Lah, foreigners should never belittle our leader by calling him Pak Lah...it appears to be disrespectful, for example, the foreign journalists." Pak Lah has mostly been used as a term of endearment and a show of respect and love for our former deputy CEO and now CEO of the nation. Surely to continue cannot be in any way construed as disrespect. In the papers even the PM has been quoted to refer to himself as "Pak Lah". For what bloggers have to say, read thisScreenshots blog. Maybe it is the said MINIster's fears that she may one day be referred to as "Mak Cik Pida" or "Mak Fidah" that is worrying her.
