CAMERON POLLS | Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak continued to poke fun at the Pakatan Harapan government over its failure to deliver on several of its election promises months after the coalition's historic win at the national polls.

Speaking to a crowd of about 100 BN supporters at Kampung Lubuk Kulit in Cameron Highlands, Najib pointed out that it was almost nine months into the rule of the new government and compared that to human pregnancy.

"We understand that since the 14th general election, many people feel they have been deceived or cheated by the sweet promises (made by Harapan) but till today, nine months later, promises still remain promises.

"(Harapan) have said married today so can't possibly have children tomorrow.

"That was what Harapan said. Now, its almost nine months but still no sign of any children. Nine months not enough, shall we wait for 18?" he said during the meet-and-greet session with the villagers today.

The former premier was referring to a statement made by Mas Gading parliamentarian Mordi Bimol in Dewan Rakyat in July last year when responding to questions of Harapan's unfulfilled 100-day manifesto promises.

"Takkan lah kahwin hari ini, esok dah boleh beranak (It’s not like you get married today and can give birth tomorrow)," Mordi had reportedly said.

Najib, former BN chairperson and Pekan MP, is in town for help with BN's campaigning for the Cameron Highlands by-election slated for this Saturday.

Touching on the by-election, Najib claimed that Harapan's candidate for the parliamentary polls, M Manogaran (above, in red), would not be able to adequately defend the interests of Muslims and Islam compared to BN and PAS.

"If we use these principles surely Manogaran cannot determine the concept of Islam and the ummah (followers).

"DAP has never mentioned the importance of ummah and Islam. On the contrary, they dispute many matters about ummah and Islam. There is no reason why PAS cannot support BN,” he said.

Najib's visit to the village earlier today greeted by calls of "BossKu", a social media buzzword he has adopted since hitting the campaign trail for the current by-election.
