Najib would have been found guilty in any consumer court for making false representations when he claimed that UMNO does not practise the politics of fear but spread the politics of hope

The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said in Perak today that UMNO does not practise the politics of fear as it spreads the politics of hope.

If the Prime Minister can be dragged to the Consumers Courts, Najib would be found guilty of making false representations claiming that it is practising the politics of hope when it is most guilty of practising the politics of fear!

For instance, Najib said in Perak today that DAP dominates Pakatan Harapan, and what is even shocking, that former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, and two former Deputy Prime Ministers, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Tan Sri Muhyddin Yassin have become my stooges and puppets, answering my every “beck and call”.

Could this be true?

MCA leaders, however, are hewing to a completely different and contradictory propaganda line, claiming that DAP leaders are sidelined and marginalised in Pakatan Harapan.

I suggest that the MCA President, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai should lead a high-level delegation of MCA leaders to meet with the Prime Minister and UMNO President, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, to thrash out once-and-for-all whether DAP leaders dominate and dictate Pakatan Harapan decisions or whether DAP leader have become impotent and completely marginalized, like MCA in Barisan Nasional, and are completely irrelevant in the Pakatan Harapan decision-making process.

This is of course subject to the condition that MCA leaders dare to confront Najib and are equal partners with UMNO in Barisan Nasional, and not stooges and puppets of UMNO!

UMNO under Najib is not only guilty of the politics of fear but also the politics of lies, fake news and false information.

I am prepared to appear in any public debate or forum with Najib to prove that UMNO is not only guilty of the politics of fear, but also the politics of lies, fake news and false information.

All that Najib needs to do is to name the place, date and time and I will be there.

Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi today took up the cudgels on behalf of MCA and Gerakan when he was in Malacca today, declaring that MCA and Gerakan should work hard to regain the people’s confidence ahead of the 14th general election to prove that BN is capable of looking after their interests.

I want to warn MCA that it can be reduced from a 7/11 party (winning only seven parliamentary and 11 state assembly seats) in the 13GE into a ¾ (tiga suku) political party winning only three parliamentary and four state assembly seats in the 14GE if it continues to allow the UMNO President to play footsie with PAS President, Datuk Seri Awang Hadi on the RUU355 Bill or continue to be the supreme coward in Malaysian politics and dare not say a single word against Najib’s 1MDB kleptocratic scandal.
