Huge support for Najib’s policy speech
> BN component party leaders laud PM’s nationbuilding perspective
KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties yesterday expressed support for Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak’s call for the coalition to obtain a two-thirds majority in Parliament in the next general election.
MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said Najib has led Putrajaya’s administration to be the most reformoriented.
“His policy speech proves that he is a nationalist who emphasises on nationbuilding and national unity.
“Najib also explained the inconsistent allegations made by the Opposition, including the latter’s vague leadership,” Liow said when commenting on Najib’s policy speech at the 71st Umno General Assembly at the Putra World Trade Centre yesterday.
MIC president Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said Najib’s speech highlighted a clear nationalist ideology.
“He delivered a good speech that is timely and touches on all relevant issues.
“He also focused on and explained the government’s achievements in developing the nation,” Subramaniam said. Gerakan president Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong said Najib’s speech was a reminder to BN component parties to work hand-in-hand in facing GE14. “All the delegates were happy with the speech. This shows the speech has motivated BN parties to work together in GE14,” he said.
MyPPP president Tan Sri M. Kayveas said a comprehensive BN victory will send a powerful message from the electorate that it still trusts the government’s ability in leading the nation.
