A PKR leader has accused former premier Najib Razak of trying to rally public sympathy during his trip to Penang as he faces a possible jail term after a final appeal over the SRC graft case.
Penang PKR communications chief Amir Ghazali described Najib as a "desperado drama king" staging an act targeting the Chinese community.
"Anyone can arrange people or his remaining supporters to attend a rally or ceramah.
"We know, many who attended were leftover supporters of 'Bossku' who were arranged to pack the function," Amir said in a statement today.
"The rakyat has wisdom to judge the actions of someone weighed down by charges in court and may soon go to jail.
"An act or stunt ala 'desperado' is needed to court public sympathy," he said.
Najib yesterday attended both formal and informal functions during his trip to Penang. The events were held mostly among the island’s Chinese community.
The Pekan MP was a keynote speaker at the 2nd Penang International Business and Investment Summit (Pibis).
He also visited the Teoh Kongsi, a night market spot in Jelutong, as well as Chew Jetty where photographs shared on his Facebook page boasted a grand welcome by a packed crowd of supporters.
Amir, however, claimed most Penangites have not forgotten how they were discriminated by Najib during his term as prime minister due to opposing views with the DAP-led then Pakatan Rakyat state government.
"Therefore, I would also like to extend my congratulations over the staging of this drama that can serve as a sweet memory in prison for 'Bossku'.
"I would also like to urge for all Malaysians to understand this current trend of, the more Umno-BN gains power, the worse the rakyat will suffer," he said. - Mkini
