'Skeleton waiting for GE' posting amuses PM Najib

A spoof photograph showing a man turning into a skeleton as he waits for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to dissolve the Parliament, which has gone viral on the Internet, put Najib and other BN leaders into fits of guffaws.

According to Sin Chew Daily, Najib told those at a meeting with the Negeri Sembilan BN grassroots yesterday that the posting was shown to him by 1Malaysia People's Housing Project (PR1MA) chairperson Jamaluddin Jarjis.

He also shared the photograph, stored in his mobile phone, with other BN leaders ,including Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Mohamad Hassan, Dewan Negara president Abu Zahar Nika Ujang and Information, Communications and Culture Minister Rais Yatim.

All of them laughed after seeing the skeleton sitting on a chair with a caption that says. "tunggu Najib bubar parlimen..." (waiting for Najib to dissolve Parliament).

The Chinese daily reported that Mohamad, in his speech made during the launching of PR1MA in Seremban, 'complained' to Najib that people were tired waiting for the general election, including him.

"If this is a football match, it has now entered extra time. However, we will continue to wait until victory," Mohamad is quoted as saying.

Najib later replied that the government wanted the national transformation policy to be truly proven successful to show that the people were fully benefiting from it before he would call the 13th general election.
