Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has his eyes set on the seat of power in Selangor, declaring that his decision to officiate the Shah Alam Umno division delegates' meeting today was intended to send a political message.

"If Shah Alam is the centre of the Selangor administration, if we want to change the political landscape of Selangor, if we want BN to return to helming Selangor, then the change must start here at the Shah Alam parliamentary seat.

"'Winning in Shah Alam means we win Selangor, do you agree with that?" asked Najib, who received a resounding "yes" from party delegates gathered in Shah Alam today.

However, Najib said in order to capture Selangor, BN must acknowledge that it is the opposition in the state.

"As the opposition, we should not be in the comfort zone.

"Maybe, at times, we are quite comfortable because the federal government is led by Umno/BN," he said.

Najib said BN cannot fail to capture Selangor for the third time, after failing to do so in the 2008 and 2013 general elections.

"This time we should rise with new strength, force our way into Shah Alam and the state of Selangor," thundered Najib.

'Same state and federal gov'ts needed'

Najib said in order to properly develop Selangor, integrated planning between the state and federal governments was needed.

"And this is impossible to do if the parties at the state and federal level are different. If the party is the same, God willing, Selangor will be more developed," he said.

Najib also slammed the federal opposition's promise of free education if it wins Putrajaya but not leading by example in Selangor.

He pointed out that the Selangor government did not offer free education at its state-owned Universiti Selangor (Unisel).

"They shouldn't talk about the national level, they should do it at the state level first.

"I was told that the fee for Al-Quran and Al-Sunnah studies at Kolej Universiti Islam Selangor is RM48,000.

"That's why we need to tell (the people) that the opposition is full of lies," he said.

Najib said BN will come out with a manifesto specifically for Selangor, to show that they were "more experienced".

"We have learned our lesson as the opposition in Selangor, we have repented," he added.
