On Sunday (Oct 4), I attended a gathering of Malaysian students at Pavillon Davphine in Paris. They came from across France -- Nice, Bordeaux, Normandy to name a few -- to meet Prime Minister Najib Razak.
As I entered the premises, I could hear the students chatting away -- in Malay, English and French.
I had a chat with some of them. These kids are smart. It's no picnic learning hard stuff in French.
After a session with the Prime Minister, a 1Malaysia Hari Raya open house was held. The organisers prepared food for some 1,000 people.
And, oh, actress Michelle Yeoh and her fiance Jean Todd, were at the open house. They came to give support to the PM's 1Malaysia.
Of course, she got "mobbed". But she's a good sport. So was Monsieur Todd.

French press’: From Paris to Bagan Pinang, Altantuya story retold
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s four-day visit to Paris has invoked memories of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu’s brutal murder.
Altantuya was the alleged the translator for a Malaysian company – owned by Razak Baginda, a close confidante of Najib – that secured the purchase of two French-made Scorpene submarines.
Naturally, this was the first thing that came to the minds of the French press when Najib arrived for his four-day visit on Oct 4.
To their dismay, Najib did not address them. Instead, the press corps turned to Batu MP Tian Chua and Selayang MP William Leong, who were in Paris to coincide with the premier’s visit.
Speaking to a crowd of about 300 people during a ceramah at Batu 3, Jalan Pantai in Port Dickson, as part of Bagan Pinang by-election campaign last night, Chua said the French media was mainly interested in one thing.
“The French press didn’t ask about our political system or opportunities for their investors. They only want to know about what has happened to the Altantuya case,” said Chua, who rushed to Bagan Pinang hours after arriving at KLIA yesterday evening.
French facination with Altantuya
To the disappointment of the crowd and a handful of journalists present, Chua chose not to elaborate on information he had gathered in Paris, stating that more details will surface in the future.
However, Chua questioned the purpose of Najib’s visit to France, claiming that the trip was not on the official invitation of the French government.
To stress his point, Chua said that although Najib met his French counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy, the duo did not announce any bilateral agreements nor did they hold the customary joint press conference.
“We don’t know what else he did there. According to the French journalists, Rosmah 9Najib’s wife) did a lot of shopping,” Chua said.
Speaking to reporters later, Chua said the purpose of his visit to Paris was to brief NGOs and the press about French-Malaysian arms deal and to provide updates on the Altantuya case.
“Almost everyone wants to know about Altantuya’s murder trial and issues with the Malaysian judiciary,” he said.
‘Najib did not meet French press’
He claims that he and Leong were approached to inform the French public on how Parliament debated the arms deal and the Altantuya case.
He said he had prepared Parliament Hansard papers and this was shared with the French press.
“The media come to us because they could not get Najib. He did not have any public interaction with the media. There is no way they can even put forward a question,” he adds.
Chua said he can only speculate on what Najib did in between his speech at Unesco and the two visits to top French government officials.
“However, he would have to go there to in order to follow up with DCN over the delivery of another submarine,” he said.

（法國‧巴黎）首相拿督斯里納吉說，亞航已經取得巴黎的降陸權。
他表示，法國總統薩爾科齊週三（10月7日）在愛麗舍宮和他舉行雙邊會談時，向他傳達了這個信息。
他週三晚在動身返國前告訴大馬新聞從業員：“官員將在未來擬定相關的細節。”
納吉是週二（10月6日）與法國總理菲永會談時，提出讓亞航在巴黎降陸的要求。結果，薩爾科齊和納吉會面時，就允許亞航在巴黎南部奧利機場降陸。
納吉在會面時提及亞航是全球空中巴士A320型最大的客戶。
另據法新社引述接近薩爾科齊的消息人士的話說，薩爾科齊在會面中建議大馬增購18架空巴A330型飛機。馬航目前已經擁有14架A330型飛機，並已訂購6架A380型飛機。
