Najib: Contract civil servants would be better off with BN in charge

Najib Abdul Razak said today that contract civil servants, including Quran and Fardu Ain (Kafa) teachers would enjoy a better fate had BN remained as the government.

According to the former prime minister, the BN government would not have let go of the 17,000 contracted civil servants.

Referring to a status he read on Facebook today, Najib claimed that some civil servants regretted giving their votes to Pakatan Harapan in the 14th general election.

"A Kafa teacher mentioned that he voted for Harapan because since his son was born, he faced the GST bogeyman... wherever he went, the shopkeepers mentioned the price of goods went up due to GST.

"Suddenly two days after May 9, he got notice of retrenchment despite voting Harapan... his service was terminated early in Ramadhan and his tears flowed when he saw the faces of his two children," he said.

The Pekan MP said this in his speech at the a breaking of fast and alms giving ceremony for 100 tithe recipients at the Kampung Padang Polo Mosque in his constituency today.

He was accompanied by his wife Rosmah Mansor.

He further thanked his voters for making Pekan the seat with the largest BN majority in GE14, despite a drop in the majority of the votes.

He said that as an MP given the trust and mandate in the last election, he would continue to honour his responsibilities, even though it is in a different capacity.
