When Najib Abdul Razak roused the rabble at last year's Umno general assembly with the declaration that "even if our bodies are crushed and our lives lost, brothers and sisters, whatever happens, we must defend Putrajaya," of course he was kidding.

What he actually meant, quite clearly, was to issue the threat that others' bodies would be crushed and their lives lost if they attempted to put an end to Umno/BN's putrid occupation of Putrajaya.
