Only a miracle can stop Najib's win in Cameron, says Kit Siang
Lim Kit Siang believes that only a miracle can prevent former premier Najib Abdul Razak from scoring a win in tomorrow's Cameron Highlands by-election.
With less than nine hours to go before the campaigning period ends at the stroke of midnight, the DAP veteran said BN appears poised to retain the parliament seat.
According to Lim, the miracle which would prevent Harapan candidate M Manogaran's defeat and Najib's success is the unexpected influx of outstation voters.
He said Najib chose this by-election as a launchpad for his political comeback instead of the four previous by-elections since GE14 because BN was expected to win the seat.
“Without an unexpected influx of some 5,000-odd outstation voters to undo BN's advantage, Najib is sailing to victory in his selection of Cameron Highlands...,” he added.
Lim said if Harapan wins, Najib's hope of a comeback would be “crushed to smithereens” and the latter could bid a “final goodbye to Malaysian politics.”
“It is now in the hands of the outstation voters whether Najib can use the Cameron Highlands by-election to launch his 'Save Najib' campaign for a political comeback and return to Putrajaya as prime minister in the 15th general election by 2023,” he added in a statement this afternoon.
In an earlier statement, Lim said he had no intention of sparring with Najib in the by-election campaign.
He also challenged the former premier to issue a denial that he is asking the voters in Cameron Highlands to spearhead a “Save Najib” campaign which would culminate in a BN victory in the next national polls and his return as prime minister.
“Is it possible for Najib to convince Malaysians that his plans for the future do not include any political comeback or resumption of the powers of the prime minister?
“Will Najib renounce any plan for a political comeback?” he asked.
Don ever forget before GE14 msia was at the verge of trickling down to zimbabwe and venezuela. The country has been deliberately brought to a state of no return, I am sure it is too obvious for all citizens to see. Therefore, before the GE 14 I would like to take this opportunity to address the sole person and or the most crucial person responsible for the future of the country. With due respect, dear Mahathir, before you breathe your last, I would like to thank you for developing the country for the past 22 years during your reign (albeit not as great as our neighbor Singapore), at the same time, you have been solely and or instrumentally causing the unchecked power in the ruling government that is now causing the descend of our beloved country into another Venezuela and or Zimbabwe. Wise people would know what to do, ditching the titanic before it is too late. Mahathir in his 22 yrs reign has transformed the country into a totalitarian state without check and balance, any opposition would first has to face intimidation by police forces that serve the master and not rakyat. 50years ago, we were the rising star, the Asian Tigers. 50years later we are at best, the Asian Cretin. Stunted in growth waiting for foreigners to lend us money
Kit Siang. Playing reverse psychology again. It is a PH win hands down
Why shouldn't UMNO won? Najib factor is not the one but a series of blunders by the Harapan. So naive and so unaware the Harapan principle approach while admired by urban KL it will not work in semi rural Cameron Highlands. But Najib won't be around too long as he will spend much time battling for his life in court. Harapan coalition should have taken this seriously. It's DAP fault as usual.
