PM Najib sees Shah Alam as key to retaking Selangor

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has his eyes set on the seat of power in Selangor, declaring that his decision to officiate the Shah Alam Umno division delegates' meeting today was intended to send a political message.

"If Shah Alam is the centre of the Selangor administration, if we want to change the political landscape of Selangor, if we want BN to return to helming Selangor, then the change must start here at the Shah Alam parliamentary seat.

"'Winning in Shah Alam means we win Selangor, do you agree with that?" asked Najib, who received a resounding "yes" from party delegates gathered in Shah Alam today.

However, Najib said in order to capture Selangor, BN must acknowledge that it is the opposition in the state.

"As the opposition, we should not be in the comfort zone.

"Maybe, at times, we are quite comfortable because the federal government is led by Umno/BN," he said.
