Najib Razak is worried after sparking controversy with his Umno opening speech, where he clearly exposed using violence

Najib' s willingness to adopt extremist measures including the use of violence, even 'crushed bodies' and 'lost lives', to cling to power.

Najib's credibility has already been wearing thin after failing to achieve any significant economic, social and political progress for a Malaysia, now waiting at a crossroads.

After 5 decades of rule by the Umno-BN, the chances are high the people will give their mandate to Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim and his Pakatan Rakyat coalition in the next general election.

No wonder then that his party vice president Zahid Hamidi, who is also the defence minister, is keen to 'spread Najib's message' (see Bernama report below).

But it is certainly strange that Zahid also said both Malays and non-Malays "seemed to have understood clearly and responded positively" to Najib's speech.

If so, why then the need for the nation-wide roadshows where the odds are the meetings will be segregated into Malay and non-Malay ones.

Is this the latest Umno-BN strategy - telling different stories to different folk?
