Pictures of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim strutting the streets of New York while attending the 78th United Nations General Assembly ha surfaced online, and Malaysians are amused, to say the very least.

We discuss whether our government officers should get less of the "VIP treatment" back home.
