At this late hour, Najib continues guessing game

YOURSAY 'Najib , are you saying that your transformation programme will be achieved within months or perhaps weeks?'

Najib: GE13 date only after transformation success

your say Jay Tan: There you are again; the election date is being prolonged. They are up to something; maybe they found they cannot win with the growing number of voters rooting for the opposition, and they have to come up with other ideas to counter it.

To add in more illegal voters, perhaps, or they know a lot of overseas voters are going to come back to vote, so they want to make the election date vague so they cannot book the flight tickets on time.

Or they need some more time to transfer their wealth out. I remember last June, schools were being reserved as venues for the elections. What a joke, maybe they will reserve them this June as well.

Anonymous_40f4: PM Najib Razak is playing a guessing game with the GE. A responsible government would not hold the rakyat and country in limbo. It is very unfair and detrimental to the FDI (foreign direct investment) coming into the country.

Senior Citizen: Najib, this nation is not your private company or a sole proprietorship. Elections are a part of every democracy in this world. Don't use vague excuses to play around with the election date simply because you are not ready or you have something else to do.

Or is it because you desperately want to continue staying at the ‘rumah perdana'? That official residence again is not your sole property. You are a squatter till your reign ends. Even the US president has to leave the White House abode when his term is up.

So in short, please don't give anymore excuses. People are getting fed up of waiting and that includes me. If you win, then you can continue to stay at in Putrajaya at the taxpayers' expense; if you lose, you just have to leave and find your own place to stay.

Even former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad had to do that. Or do you have some other secret reasons why you want to keep delaying the elections? Power can never be permanent. It has to end someday.

Anonymous #43051382: BN is very scared to call for GE13 because they know the people are now fully supporting Pakatan Rakyat.

If Najib is confident that the people are supporting BN, the first thing he would have done is to call for a new mandate in Perak six months after robbing Perakians of their legally voted in Pakatan Perak government. By not doing so, it is written on the wall that BN is very weak going into GE13.

Mushiro: It is an utter failure for Najib if he has nothing to show at this late stage as the achievements of his government.

Najib himself is admitting that even the national transformation programme has not been successful so far. Will the transformation programme suddenly become successful over the next few weeks?

Thetruth: Najib is really is in a state of delusion. April 28 is the last date for the Parliament to be dissolved, and he said he wants to wait until his transformation programme is successful before going for GE13.

If till now, he cannot convince and show the rakyat that his so-called transformation plan had worked, the obvious conclusion is that it has failed and is unlikely to suddenly become successful in two months' time. No wonder, Umno-BN is in panic mode now.

Tim'sTime: I believe that Najib is more worried of ‘transfer-mation' out of Putrajaya. If his transformation policy had been implemented, Najib would have achieved the results long ago and not leave it to the last minute to wait for the outcome.

Najib, are you thinking of transferring all the national assets to your good friends like businessman Syed Mokhtar Albukhary before your tenure is over?

It's Time To Change: What transformation policies, Mr Prime Minister? I am quite a figure in the business arena and I really feel that we are going backwards.

From the minister to the director-general level, all I face are corrupt practices. Even the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) can't do anything about them although numerous complaints have been filed with proof.

Mr Prime Minister, your ministers and top government officials are not with you. We need change and your time is up.

Anonymous #43051382: What transformation? Giving petty cash handouts and all other hogwash discounts is not transformation.

Transformation means to change the government, and Malaysians would do just that in GE13. That is, Malaysians will vote Pakatan for a true, full transformation to make Malaysia a better place for all Malaysians.

Malaysiawatch4.blogspot: The type of transformation Najib describes will take at least 10 years and in my opinion, we should give Pakatan that task.

Ghkok: I don't see any "transformation" in this country. What I see is more crimes, more road accidents, more corruption, more fraud, more spending, more wastage, more debts, more illegal immigrants, more costs, more arrests, more lies, more oppression, more repression, more suppression, more killings, more rapes, more robberies... what transformation?

Cannon: What has really changed except for cosmetic makeovers and an alphabet soup of slogans?

The regime attempts to divert the electorate from its nauseating scandals and widespread corruption by showering them with freebies and cash handouts.

The people who are well informed, know fully well that the rotten bunch in power are using taxpayers' money to bribe them for their votes. Then they'll steal some more from the taxpayers when re-elected.

Najib can wait for Godot . Most of us are waiting to cast the crooks out of Putrajaya.
