KUALA KUBU BARU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has expressed confidence that Barisan Nasional will “rise again” in Selangor.
He also called on Barisan’s election machinery for the Hulu Selangor parliamentary seat to work hard and cut down on unproductive work.
“Work more, sleep less and talk less. This (the by-election) is not just about another Parliamentary seat, but about charting support and direction for the country,” he said in his speech on Wesnesday night at a dinner held at the coalition’s main command centre at Bukit Sentosa.
Najib, who is also Barisan chairman and Selangor Umno liaison chief, also called on Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to stop deceiving the people.
“I know all about his plans to slander and all about his character assasination tactics. His former close friends Zulkifli Noordin (Kulim-Bandar Bahru MP) and Zahrain (Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohd Hashim, Bayan Baru MP) told me everything while we were in Washington together”.
“Now, I know his secrets down to his underwear, but I am not going to reveal. I know, they know, Allah knows,” he quipped.
Meanwhile, thousands of Barisan Hulu Selangor by-election machinery workers gathered to welcome Najib, who also met the coalition’s candidate for the by-election, P. Kamalanathan for the first time when he arrived at the centre. Smiling broadly, they shook hands.
Najib was away in the United States when Kamalanathan, the Hulu Selangor MIC information chief was chosen as candidate although Najib had consented to it.
