PAS Aspires To Win 40 Parliamentary Seats In Next G.E. "No Way," Says Najib

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said PAS' dream of winning 40 seats in the next general election would not come true.

He was confident that as usual, the opposition party would win much lesser seats than it aimed for.

"As usual, before each general election, PAS would set a high target but what it had achieved so far was way off the target.

"This time too, God willing, the same thing will happen," Najib said when asked to comment on yesterday's newspaper reports that PAS aspired to secure 40 parliamentary seats in the next general election.

On the issue of a Malaysian student in Taiwan making fun of the national anthem, Negaraku in his video clip posted on YouTube, Najib said the government viewed the matter seriously but would leave it to the relevant authority to investigate.

The creator of the video clip is Wee Meng Chee, 24, a final-year mass communication student at Ming Chuan University in Taipeh.

He was reported to have interspersed the Negaraku with rap, with the lyrics found to be offensive to the Malay community and insulting Islam, besides changing the national anthem to Negarakuku.

Najib said any action that insulted the national anthem was a serious one and must not be committed by anyone. (Bernama)
