Umno may think that their president Najib Abdul Razak is god sent but he is far from a prophet, said former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

"The prophet of Islam, he did not have RM2.6 billion in his account and 1MDB," Mahathir said at a press conference on the sidelines of DAP national convention in Shah Alam today.

He was making reference to the RM2.6 billion found in Najib's bank account, and Najib's brainchild, the troubled state investment fund 1MDB.

At the opening of the Umno wings general assembly, Umno de facto number two Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was reported had said that Najib was fated by Allah to become party president.

Two days later in his opening speech for the main body AGM, Najib had said that he was following the example set by Prophet Muhammad by turning the other cheek against those who attacked him.

Meanwhile, Mahathir also poked fun at Umno Wanita chief Shahizat Abdul Jalil, who said she was aghast that Mahathir and DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang were now "kissing" (cium mulut).

She was making a reference to the new alliance between the former foes.

"I haven’t come to that stage of liberalism yet. One can be liberal but even liberalism has its limits.

“I mean if you all turn up naked, I would object,” he told reporters.

He also assured that DAP was not as liberal as their opponent claim they are.

"(DAP secretary-general) Lim Guan Eng is not that liberal, he still holds on to Malaysian values.

"We are not going to hell, Guan Eng is not going to marry another man," he said in jest.

DAP had become Umno's enemy number one at the latter's annual general assembly this year.

Najib had said that if a DAP-led opposition comes to power, Malay rights and privileges and Islamic institutions would be eroded.
