Amid floods that have forced 100,000 people from their homes, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been forced to defend his recent golf outing with President Obama in Hawaii. As The Hill reports, Najib has come under fire at home, cutting short his trip on Friday to return to Malaysia amid headlines such as the Malaysia Chronicle's "Stop Playing Golf, Najib," which appeared above images of the flooding and of Najib on the golf course with Obama.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday was forced to defend his recent golf outing with President Obama after coming under fire back home.
Razak golfed with Obama in Hawaii on Wednesday, triggering an outcry in Malaysia, which is contending with floods that have forced more than 100,000 people from their homes.

After touring the flooded areas on Saturday, Najib said at a news conference that golfing with Obama was "golf diplomacy," according to state news agency Bernama.
Obama travelled to Malaysia in April, and Najib said the golf outing was long planned.

Strange that when the last plane from Malasia disappeared, Obama was in Hawaii on vacation. This time too, he is on vacation and with none other than Malaysia prime minister. Is there something to this?
Interesting connection.
Obama was not in Hawaii when the first Malasian plane went down.

WHy is Obama wearing black slacks whwen golfing in Hawaii, the land of color? I used to live on a golf course in Texas, and I don’t believe I EVER saw anyone wearing black on the course. Same with my 2 trips to Hawaii — no black in sight for daytime recreation.
Gary Player was famous for wearing black on the golf course. Obama may be guilty of many things, but wearing black on the golf course is probably not one of them.
But Player was a South African, wasn’t he? That doesn’t count.
I am referring to customs in the USA. Obama just looks odd in the photos that ran on TV over the weekend. The black pants looked so stark, compared to the other men in his party. Only Obama and his bodyguard wore black. Everyone else was in color.
Black is not popular for outdoor sports in warm climates beause it absorbs heat.
Nah. Lots of golfers wear black. I used to play a lot, fashions come and go.

Well, he looked like Satan, compared to the other (colorful) golfers.
