Hold Pakatan government accountable too, Najib says

KUALA LUMPUR, May 19 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak urged voters today to also hold the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government accountable, and said the new administration’s promises were “in the realm of fantasy.”

Speaking to Malay Mail at his home today, the former prime minister claimed he had been demonised during the recent election campaign.

“Ya, they create a certain kind of bandwagon effect and they demonised me throughout the campaign, but I think history will judge. I think now is not the time, but history will judge what have (they) contributed to the country,” he said.

He also claimed it would be impossible for PH to fulfill all the promises it made during the campaign.

So far, the new Mahathir administration has already announced an end to the unpopular GST consumption tax, started an investigation into the 1MDB scandal, and kickstarted widespread institutional reforms. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has also declared an end to fluctuating fuel prices.

“This is the realm of fantasy. There is no way that they can achieve this,” Najib said, referring to PH’s promise to waive off student loans owed to the National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN), abolish the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and reduce pump prices.

“I mean it already can be seen that three days after the election, they said the economy is in a strong position. Before that, they said the economy is in a bad shape, we are going towards bankruptcy, we need to save Malaysia.

“You mean in three days, the economy has recovered so dramatically? The reserves are so strong, we are getting good growth? No! These are statements made three days after the election,” he said, adding that the economy was already doing well under BN.

Najib supported his statement by pointing to the various positive credit ratings given by top-notch firms, such as Fitch and Moody’s, as well as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which gave Malaysia’s economy positive scores.

“I leave it to the people to decide. We have been saying all these things, and the ratings agencies have said it,” Najib added.

True! But they are not god, THEY only said by the BOOK. Why they never said CORRUPTION and TAXING the POOREST Malaysian are not good for the rating. I believe if HE is in power for another term, our country will be worst than other THIRD world country. IT IE TOO LATE TO SAID ANYTHING. JUST FACE IT and wait for your new home in SUNGAI BULUH.

GDP is up but why the common folks do not feel it at all? It only means that the few rich are getting richer n richer. Some are able to buy condos like buying bicycles which the common folks could not afford even if they work their whole life. Just ask Maidin CEO. He brought the grim news before GE but his message was brushed aside.
Moody n IMF reports are short term. When we are unable to shoulder the ever-increasing debt, they will just change their tone. No loss to them. We remember their performance during the 1998 Asian crisis n 2009 Sub-prime crisis.

The 1MDB scandal put the nation's finances in dire straits, forcing it to cut subsidies and introduce GST.

U can read the Edge weekly to find out how much debt is M'sia going to shoulder in the coming years.

Who got us into this mess? He is none other than Najib. Maybe now he is in fantasy land.

The slogan "undi BN, hidup rakyat" should rightly be "undi BN, hidup Kleptocracy"

Avoid absolute power to one politician.
We have seen enough in Najib, Taib and previous BN government.
Let us all be vigilant and raise our voice loud and clear:never allow one man to control the whole government machinery again.
