YOURSAY "While I set really low behavioural thresholds for Umno, it is certainly very shocking to see a prime minister resort to such low class tactics in his desperation."

Najib dares 'stupid' PAS to leave Pakatan

your say Anonymous_4041: My God! What kind of prime minister is Najib Razak? Instead of outlining his plan for the country and rakyat, the whole speech at the Umno AGM focused on personal attacks!

Do you have anything better to tell us? Or have you already lost confidence in the coming election and have to behave like a mad dog, going around biting others on the street and indulging in name-calling? How can we vote you in again? Shame on you Najib!

Kleo: Sometimes, I fool myself into thinking that perhaps, just perhaps, Najib still has a trace of moderation in him, that he's just overwhelmed by the opposing current of Umnoputras within Umno.

But without fail, Najib proves me wrong time and again. His Umno AGM speeches show just how much he falls short of the honour and dignity of his predecessors. Our prime minister is Third World mentality embodied.

Lynn : Najib's closing speech was really dignified and becoming of a prime minister of a country... no? What in the world is happening here? The PM is behaving like a schoolboy who has been beaten at exams by his arch enemy. While I despise Umno and set really low behavioural thresholds for them, it is certainly very shocking to see a prime minister resort to such low class tactics in his desperation.

He is not the opposition. Umno is in a position of power and hence they shouldn't have to resort to bullying, low class tactics but they do, anyway. They must be really, really scared.

Hermit: Najib's speech was akin to the Mat Rempit kind of language.

Ben- ghazi: Umno/BN is finished. Instead of showing dignity and nobility and statesmanship, especially after returning from his haj, this new ‘haji' Najib does not in the slightest way show that he has turned a new leaf (a sign of 'haji mabrur') to become the PM of all Malaysia (not 1Malaysia).

Instead, he has turned venomous in his attacks of his political foes, hitting below the belt all the time. He seems to enjoy the 'standing ovations' given by his fellow clowns in the general ‘ass‑embly'.

Most voters would have made up their minds by now as to how they would vote after listening to these foul speeches of Umno leaders and delegates. Clearly, they have not matured much as a party to be trusted for the next four to five years. I know how I would vote; do you?

Fairnessforall: Najib, your speech shows your desperation. It shows you are not confident of winning the election as you know very well how you have played the people out by cheating them, by stealing from them and by lying to them. It is Umno that is stupid and not PAS. To be a political party, you have to do what is best for the people and not what is best for you.

That is exactly what PAS is doing. They are joining hands with DAP because they know that is what is best for all Malaysians. You daringly swore in the mosque because you do not fear Allah and will lie through your teeth, whereas Anwar does not abuse Islam for his own benefit the way you did.

Why should he swear in the mosque? So, are you saying, if he swears in court or the mosque, it means he is innocent? We know you are not innocent. What not just you but your wife and your cabinet have committed, but still you had no qualms about swearing in the mosque.

And you do not even know that cocks do not lay eggs? You think you are smart trying to insult Anwar, but your speech only shows how dumb and stupid you are. Where did you get your qualifications, seeing that you don't even that know only hens lay eggs? You are really not fit to be PM. Such a disgrace.

Wanderer: How can a cock lay eggs? The Umno PM is today a very confused and desperate man. Perhaps, he has never done things the natural way - after all, he did appoint many ministers the back way.

Queenie: All this ranting and raving only shows how shallow in thinking our PM is. Swearing four times on the Quran makes him think it shows he is honest and untainted? What bull.

Louis: Najib is the biggest clown and a hypocrite beyond compare. What's the big deal in swearing so many times? Botak Chin also dared swear that he did not murder in the name of whichever God you chose for him. Malai Chai, another famous crook in the Sixties, had no hesitation to swear that he did not rob.

I believe Al Capone would have had no qualms in swearing by the Bible if he could get away with all the murders and robberies. Now, the public knows that Najib wears many faces. In Chinese villages, he will pretend to be interested in the villagers' welfare, while in his heart he only wants their votes.

Restless Native: Our idiotic PM is sounding like a little angry boy who has had his marbles taken away. It is ironic that the PM, the leader of the ruling party, should resort to this base behaviour that is more in line with kurang ajar types.

But then again, this is BN leadership - a bunch of kampung boys who have been entrusted to manage Malaysia but, not knowing any difference from their thieving and conniving predecessors, think that by ranting and raving, they will be seen as the ‘true leaders' who should be voted in.

Sometimes, I just wonder in amazement how such nincompoops made it into office. Surely our Malay brethren (and the none-the-wiser Indians) have ample evidence in front of them all these years to come to a sensible conclusion? Out in the West, not one, I mean not a single BN leader will make it into any public office. The PM is the biggest ninny of all.

Faz: The orgy of stupid speeches saw no end in this Umno general assembly, from the delegates to the president. Every one seemed eager to show their hollowness, uncouth claims and downright ranting. I thought this was your general assembly, for you to glorify your achievements, but you had instead used this platform to belittle all your opponents in an unsavoury and childish manner.

Umno, the delegates and the office-bearers, you are a disgrace to your party, the Malays and the nation, since you are the main party of the ruling coalition. Thank you for blatantly being obnoxious as most of the fence sitters will abandon you. Umno is not capable of reform or change and losing for just once will do the trick. Then, we are in for the hoped‑for two-party political system, if Umno-BN doesn't collapse totally after losing Putrajaya to Pakatan first.

Black Panthar: Among all the Umno assemblies I've seen and heard/read, this is the worst of all. Being the major party of the ruling government, all talk and deliberations have only been about race, race, race, religion, religion, religion, shares in government contracts, and bang, bang, bang on opposition. What a shame!

What about Malaysia's future direction, economy, unemployment, infrastructure, poverty, skills, education, socio-economics of the Malaysians, etc? There was no concrete discussion at all. Umno says it is not a racist party, but why didn't the delegates discuss about Malaysians in general?

James1067: Najib, your speech should have been about how you are going to bring this country up with Umno, not abusing others. I don't think that Islam teaches us to slander or belittle anyone. You have just demonstrated through that speech you don't know what you are talking about. God is about humility, truth and love, not ranting and raving about others' mistakes thinking that we are perfect. You just blew your opportunity to reach out to the people. The people are laughing away as you run down your opponents.

Tailek: Najib is the biggest liar of them all. Before the Umno assembly began he told his goons not to talk bad about the opposition parties because he said 28 million Malaysians were looking at the Umno assembly.

Then his donkeys, beginning with Ahmad Maslan, followed by Muhyiddin Yassin and some Penang Indian Muslim Shaik Hussein, began slandering the opposition and basically telling Najib to go to hell with his instructions.

Then Najib ended up doing the exact same thing, because if you can't beat them, then join them. Najib is the biggest liar of all in Umno, a party that lies and cheats the people and plunders the nation's wealth through all their dirty deals, like NFC, MRT and Felda and the many thousands of crony deals during their last 22 years of misrule.

Cala: Najib, as a leader, we expect you to talk sense. Certainly the last thing I expect from you is for you to go so low as to resemble a kaki lima debate.

Anne: A ‘no class' speech from a ‘no class' PM. What a shame to Malaysia.
