Najib is people’s choice based on democratic system

We defend Najib's leadership because we have elected him based on the majority vote, says Kadamaian Assemblyman

KOTA BELUD: Prime Minister Najib Razak is the choice and aspiration of the people as he was selected based on a democratic system.

State Assemblyman for Kadamaian, Jeremy Malajad said Najib must be given the chance to show his capability to lead the nation until the next general election (GE).

“We have a leader based on the aspiration of the people carried out through an independent democratic system.

“I think it is clear that we defend Najib’s leadership because we have elected him based on the majority vote (through the general election),” he said when met at the launching of Kadamaian Nature Challenge, here Sunday.

He was asked to comment on the “people’s declaration” movement promoted by former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed and Opposition leaders to support the removal of Najib as prime minister.

Jeremy said the people should not be influenced by Mahathir’s move as well as that of the opposition and should wait for the opportunity to choose a leader in the next GE.

“Tun Dr Mahathir tries to give a negative perception to the people as though the present government does not bring anything that the people hope for.

“But here (in Kadamaian) we continue to have confidence that the prime minister is capable of taking us to the pinnacle of success based on what we are enjoying now,” he said.

Meanwhile, Parti Bersatu Sabah head of the Kadamaian division Demis Rumanti said that Najib and his cabinet ministers were still capable of discharging their tasks well.

“So far, I don’t see any contribution from the opposition towards the development in the Kota Belud and Kadamaian constituencies,” he added.
