THE EYES OF THE ENTIRE NATION & THE WORLD ON NAJIB: WILL HE TRANSFER POWER PEACEFULLY TO MAHATHIR IF BN LOSES

KLUANG – With hours left before polling day, the opposition has raised a question to caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak whether there would be a smooth transition of power if Pakatan Harapan (PH) wins the 14th General Election.

Stating this, DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang asked if Najib would admit Barisan Nasional’s loss in the elections if the opposition coalition garnered a majority.

“If PH manages to win more than 112 parliament seats … will he (Najib) acknowledge (the defeat) to the nation and the world?

“Will there be a peaceful power transfer to PH?” he said in a ceramah at Kampung Sungai Lalang last night.

The ceramah, which featured several local PH election candidates, saw a turnout of close to 1,000 people.

Lim, who is himself contesting in a parliamentary seat in Johor, dismissed talks made by certain parties that the Malays would perish if PH took over the government.

He added such talks were only meant to threaten the Malay group from giving their votes to the opposition.

“They want to threaten the Malays. They said if Umno loses, the Malays will perish.

“This is not true. If Umno loses, it is not the Malays that will perish. It is the Umno leaders that will,” he said.
