MANDATE.....Najib
said an early election would waste the BN government’s mandate.
KUALA LUMPUR : Datuk Seri
Najib Razak said there was no lack of confidence in the Barisan Nasional (BN)
and denied he was deliberately delaying the date of the general election as
claimed by the opposition.
The Prime Minister said the
BN was given the mandate by the people for five years to show its ability to
lead and govern the country, bring progress and champion the people.
“If we call for a snap
elections, it means that we have shortened the period given to us by the
people.
“So the question of ‘not
confident’ does not arise. For us, what is important is to show our ability to
continue to champion the people,” he told reporters after chairing the BN
supreme council meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre here, last night.
Najib, who is also Umno
president and BN chairman, pointed out that the people had shown good response
to transformation programmes implemented by the government.
This can be seen from his
and his deputy, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s visits to the states, he said,
adding that the support of the people was overwhelming and reflected growing
confidence in the BN.
“We cannot be haughty, but
our confidence level is based on the people’s reception to our visits and the 1
Malaysia-themed programmes,” he said.
Citing the Government
Transformation Programme and the Economic Transformation Programme, he said:
“We had delivered them which means (our confidence) is not without any
particular assessment.”
Najib also said the
programme hinged on engagement with various community groups such as the
People’s 1 Malaysia Taxi programme (TR1MA).
In the meantime, he reminded
the BN not to raise issues that might hurt the feelings of any race or pose a
problem among BN component parties.
Commenting the opposition’s
allegation that he had interfered in the Light Rail Transit’s Ampang Line, he
said, “Everything is done properly. There’s no such thing.” (Bernama)
Dr Mahathir is supportive of Datuk Najib's decision to complete his 5 years mandate as the Prime Minister, I'm sure he will make the announcement regarding the general elections when the time is right.

Hopefully no religious or racial issues will be raised among the BN component parties, the parties need to cooperate and unite for the people.

ReplyDeleteThe 13th general election will be held depending on the success of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak infulfilling his promises to the people, according to an academician.
ReplyDeleteUniversiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) School of Social, Development andEnvironment chairman, Assoc Prof Dr Fuad Mohd Jali, said Najib wanted the peopleto enjoy the benefits from the transformation programmes implemented by thegovernment.
ReplyDelete"I think Najib wants to ensure 2/3 majority win for Barisan Nasional (BN). He also wants to ensure that all promises, such as going to the ground to meetthe people, are fulfilled. We can feel it already."
ReplyDeleteHe said this during question time at the roundtable discussion on ''13thGeneral Election: Who Will the Malaysians Vote For?'' organised by the Political,Security and International Affairs Cluster of the National Professors Council.
ReplyDeleteAs such, Dr Fuad said he expected the 13th general election to be held around November this year or after the Chinese New Year celebration next year.
ReplyDeleteOther opined that the 2013 Budget will be tabled in September and it will probably become the best announcement for the people. So, there is a possibility that the Parliament be dissolved in October and the general election be held in November," he said.
ReplyDeleteOn a question whether the Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would make an impact in the 13th general election, Dr Fuad said a candidate must not corrupt, but instead should have a good personality and moral values.
ReplyDelete"These criteria have vital roles, but they depend on how the people see thecandidate. The people can think for themselves," he said.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Assoc Prof Dr Rohana Yusof from Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) said a recent survey showed that 70 per cent of 10,800 respondents in Kedah had no confidence in Anwar''s leadership.
ReplyDelete"They prefer to focus on issues that will benefit them and their future as compared to issues raised by Anwar, which are deemed outdated, fabricated and no longer have any impact," she said.
