The prime minister has issued an invitation to the Islamic party to cross over to his side for the sake of race, religion and nation.
KUALA TERENGGANU: Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak today invited PAS to join the Barisan Nasional (BN) in efforts to champion the agenda on race, religion and the nation.
He said the time had come for PAS to break off from the DAP which had clearly not fought for the cause of Islam.
“Why be friendly with the DAP? Can the DAP champion the cause of Islam?
“Hadi (PAS president Hadi Awang), enough of the DAP, leave the DAP, join BN,” he said in his speech before an audience of about 15,000 at a gathering with the people in the Manir state constituency, at Kampung Pulau Bahagia, near here.
Also present were Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Said, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, Rural and Regional Development Minister Shafie Apdal, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Youth and Sports Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek.
Najib said the future of Malaysia was actually more secure under the leadership of the BN government and Umno.
“Umno was born in a palace and not on the street like PKR,” he said.
Najib said the people were now smart in evaluating the leadership that could actually champion the cause of the race, religion and country.
He also commented on the crisis currently faced by the PKR party leadership.
“During the Sarawak (state election) recently, even the occupants of the longhouse had asked about an Omega watch (belonging to Anwar Ibrahim).
“And yesterday, why prevent people who wanted to swear,” said Najib.
