"Opposition Parties Are Extremists In Disguise," Says Najib!

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tonight reminded the people not to sacrifice the future of the nation and their children by placing their faith in the opposition, which purportedly has formed an alternative front called the Barisan Alternatif (BA).

He said the BA was more of a hidden arrangement by the opposition parties to face the general election unlike the Barisan Nasional (BN), which was a coalition for all times.

"Are we to gamble the future of our nation and children... will we be able to sleep in peace if this so called BA is administering the country," he said when attending a dinner hosted by the Perak BN election machinery at the Menteri Besar's residence here.

Najib, who is also the BN's election director, said the opposition parties, who were merely trying to copy the BN in forming an alliance, were actually extremists in disguise.

One wanted to form a theocratic state while another harboured visions of a secular nation on the premise of a Malaysian Malaysia, he said.

"Another party we can deem as irrelevant, which is the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)... we don't know where to place this party as it holds only one seat in Parliament but is talking big about wanting to contest here and there," he said to thunderous applause from those present.

The Deputy BN chairman also described PAS a party which always kept changing its tunes, at one time calling Umno members infidels then trying to introduce hudud laws but when both of these did not go down well with the people, started to bring up the issue of a welfare state to gain popularity.

He said the BN's concept of power-sharing spoke for itself as it had been proven for 50 years now.

Najib said the BN would be coming out with its "bullets" one by one to show what the opposition really was when campaigning for the election began. (Bernama)

***** To Najib and his ilk anyone who has an opinion different to that of Umno's is an extremist! Be it the deprived poor rallying behind Hindraf, ordinary citizens who simply want fair elections or political parties which desire meaningful and positive change in the way this country is being run, they are all extremists in the eyes of these practitioners of unadulterated racism.

Najib advices the people not to 'sacrifice' the future. What future does a large section of Malaysians have right now that they should be worried? Under Umno's race-based rule, non-Malays are being discriminated and cast aside almost on a daily basis.

Look at the lot of the Indians. They have been pushed from pillar to post for the past four decades at least because of Umno's policies and as a result gangsterism and abysmally low living standards have become synonymous with their community.

The Chinese are not far behind if they don't watch it and continue to rest on their fragile and not exactly impressive laurels.
