MACHANG : The struggle to
uphold Islam in Malaysia as championed by Umno is on the right track and earned
praise from leaders of Islamic countries, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today.
The Prime Minister said this
was unlike the Islam championed by PAS, which uses hudud law as campaign
material for general election.
“Egypt regards Malaysia as a
model Islamic state. We pledge a developed nation by 2020. The pledge will be
fulfilled,” said Najib.
Najib said he wanted to see
winds of change blowing over Kelantan.
“Haji Hadi (PAS president)
said hudud will be implemented when the cockerel crows. Well, the cockerel has
since died of old age,” he said at “Jom Beraya Bersama Perdana Menteri”
programme at SMK Hamzah here today.
About 30,000 people of
various races attended the event to mark the prime minister’s first visit to
Machang district.
Najib praised Mentri Besar
Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat for not supporting the trampling of posters, showing of
buttocks and flying of a new flag recently.
“For this, I wrote a letter
to thank Nik Aziz.”
He said what Kelantan
residents want would be put in the Barisan Nasional election manifesto and was
impressed by the people’s strong support for Umno and BN.
“I feel like calling for
general election right now.”
Najib also announced that
200 houses in Machang would be repaired soon.
He also visited former
Machang Umno Division Chief, Datuk Yaakub Mohamad at Batu 23, Labok before
returning to the capital. (Bernama)
