AMID TALK OF A LETTER ‘PRE-SIGNED’ BY HIMSELF, ‘PRINCIPLED’ NAJIB DENIES TRYING TO DECLARE EMERGENCY RULE: ASK MILITARY, THE POLICE IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE, SAYS NAJIB – BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHERS ON THE NSC APART FROM THE COPS, ARMY WHO REFUSED TO BACK WHAT WOULD BE A ‘COUP’

KUALA LUMPUR — Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today denounced allegations that he had planned to declare a state of emergency on the night of May 9 after realising that Barisan Nasional (BN) had lost GE14.

The Pekan MP told the Dewan Rakyat that he has always believed in the principles of democracy and rule of law, and has always conformed to the two values.

“What I was accused of was utterly baseless altogether. If one referred to the Malaysian Armed Forces at that time, the police at the time, there was no special National Security Council (NSC) call made at that time,” Najib said.

“I also want to say that I am someone who believes in the principles of democracy and rule of law, and abide by it,” he added. – MALAY MAIL

NAJIB Razak today denied allegations that he had planned to declare a state of emergency and cling onto power after Barisan Nasional had lost the May 9 general election.

The former prime minister said the allegations were untrue and subsequent events showed that the transfer of power had taken place peacefully.

“As we all know on May 9, a transfer of power happened peacefully. Prior to that an allegation had surfaced that myself, as the prime minister, had planned to create chaos and call for a state of emergency. The claim was that I was afraid to lose power.  

“The allegation was completely baseless altogether,” he said in the Dewan Rakyat today while debating the royal address.
