MyKMU: Why no praise for Najib when fuel prices go down?

Umno blog says PM's detractors criticise for the sake of criticising.

PETALING JAYA: An Umno blog has accused Prime Minister Najib Razak’s critics of refusing to acknowledge the many successes it says he has achieved, especially in the economic sphere.

In an article lamenting the critics’ tendency to blame Najib “for everything that goes wrong,” MyKMU.net cites the reduction in retail fuel prices as one of the decisions that Najib should be praised for.

“Not only are the petrol prices down,” it says, “the national economy has grown by five per cent, EPF has recorded profits, PNB has recorded profits, Tabung Haji has recorded profits.

“There are profits everywhere. The people have money in their pockets. Would all this be possible if the country was ruled by fools?”

The article said Najib’s detractors were criticising him for the sake of criticising.

“People criticise because they want to,” it said. “Even when a woman gets molested in KL, the Prime Minister, who was in the US at the time, got the blame.” This was in reference to a recent incident in which a busker denounced Najib on video after a Nepali allegedly molested his wife.

Responding to accusations of impropriety with regard to a Saudi royal’s RM2.6 billion donation to the Prime Minister, the writer asserted that Najib broke no law and no one was hurt.
