May 8: PAS vice president Husam Musa said prime minister Najib Razak should now make way for his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin to take over to take responsibility over BN's worst electoral performance in history.
Husam recalled how UMNO strongman Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s son Mukhriz Mahathir and several UMNO ministers had in 2008 pressured then PM Abdullah Badawi to be accountable for BN’s performance when it lost its two-third majority.
“If the idea to oust Abdullah is universal, then the same must be applied to Najib. Morally, Najib should make way for Muhyiddin to replace him as prime minister,” said Husam yesterday.
Husam said BN's loss of popular votes to Pakatan Rakyat showed that Najib's adminstration was a dismal failure.
The Kelantan state assemblyman also said Najib’s 1Malaysia concept was also a proven failure especially after the latter blamed his poor performance on a "Chinese tsunami".
“1Malaysia is Najib’s only bargaining chip. Now it too has failed, so he must step down. Muhyiddin should automatically replace him,” he added.
Husam (left) said the "Chinese Tsunami" remark by Najib was nothing more than a ploy for him to remain UMNO president.
“I strongly oppose racial politics or anti-Chinese rhetoric. I believe there will be more events coming just to keep himself (Najib) in power,” he warned.
Prior to this, Mahathir, seen as backing Muhyiddin for premiership, said he never expected Najib to do worse than Abdullah.
"Of course, the people will question his capacity and his strategies. Constitutionally [sic], he remains as the head of government as long as UMNO supports him," he added. -HD

Like Pak Lah, Najib should make way for his deputy
About sabahdaily
Tak payah lah menyibuk jaga tepi kain UMNO. Jaga saja PAS abis cerita. Tu beria-ia sgt suruh DS Najib 'make way' kpd Muhyiddin utk jadi PM tu kenapa? Takut sgt kah dengan kepimpinan Najib?
ReplyDeleteKesian juga si Husam ni. Sudahlah kalah di Putrajaya, di negerinya sendiri pn di tak laku dan digugurkan dalam barisan exco DUN Kelantan. Haiii lah badan, haiiilah nyawa..sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga.
ReplyDeleteFormer Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says his successor Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is still the best person to continue leading the country after the general election.
ReplyDeleteAbdullah said he was giving Najib his full support and hoped the latter would continue with his agenda for transformation.
ReplyDelete“Malaysians have sent a clear message that they want change and Datuk Seri Najib must respond to this by intensifying his transformation programme to address issues such as corruption, crime and the cost of living.
ReplyDelete“I believe he has the right strategies in place to demonstrate improvement in these areas,” Abdullah said in a statement today.
Abdullah also called for national unity and reconciliation, saying that there must not be any attempt to racialise the election results by unfairly blaming any particular community.
ReplyDeleteNO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteSuara-suara mencebik Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak sudah kedengaran. Sistem Pesanan Ringkas (SMS) dan emel dari kumpulan penyokong Pak Lah mulai kedengaran menggesa Mohd Najib berundur kerana pencapaian yang lebih teruk daripada 2008.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteSaya tidak menyatakan pencapaian Mohd Najib sesuatu yang hebat dan gah, namun ia masih boleh dibanggakan. Saya percaya fakta akan menunjukkan bahawa pencapaian Barisan Nasional di bawah Mohd Najib jauh lebih baik daripada Pak Lah. Ini bukan bertujuan untuk menjatuhkan air muka Pak Lah. Ini sekadar mahu mengingatkan kumpulan ini bahawa nasihat-nasihat mereka yang telah merosakkan Pak Lah tidak diperlukan dalam arus politik hari ini.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteNamun kita kena ingat bahawa pencapaian BN hari ini secara keseluruhan jauh lebih baik dari BN semasa Pak Lah. BN telah hilang 5 negeri – Wilayah Persekutuan, Perak, Kedah, Selangor dan Pulau Pinang kepada Pakatan dalam pilihan raya lalu.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeletePenguasaan ke atas Selangor dan Pulau Pinang menjadikan jentera Pakatan kali ini berkali ganda lebih baik daripada jentera mereka pada 2008. Manakala kedudukan mereka di Kedah dan Kelantan menjadikan kedudukan UMNO sendiri goyah.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteDengan kata lain, jika dalam pilihan raya 2008, ia umpama Manchester United (BN) lawan Queens Park Rangers (Pakatan), kali ini ia sudah menjadi seperti Manchester United lawan Manchester City. Ini bukan lagi pilihan raya David versus Goliath. Ia sudah menjadi pertembungan dua gergasi. Jik Pak Lah masih lagi Perdana Menteri dan dikelilingi oleh penasihat-penasihatnya yang bodoh itu, kita sudah menjadi pembangkang hari ini.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteBerhadapan dengan kekuatan jentera pilihan raya Pakatan yang jauh lebih besar daripada 2008, BN merampas kembali dua negeri yang kita kalah dalam pilihan raya yang lalu – Kedah dan Perak. Ini suatu pencapaian yang sangat luar biasa jika dilihat dengan jentera Pakatan, manifesto pakatan dan juga calon-calon yang mereka pertaruhkan kali ini berbanding 2008.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeletePada zaman Pak Lah, UMNO mengalami perpecahan dan menuju kehancuran yang serius sehingga menyebabkan kita kehilangan Kedah, Perak dan Selangor serta kalah teruk di Kelantan. Akhirnya, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad sendiri keluar UMNO sebagai menyatakan kekecewaan beliau kepada Pak Lah. Situasi dalam UMNO hari ini sangat berlainan sama sekali. UMNO kembali menjadi Menteri Besar di Kedah dan Perak.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteHari ini Mohd Najib telah merampas kembali dua negeri yang kalah dalam pilihan raya lalu di samping mengekalkan negeri-negeri yang telah diperintah sebelum ini. Ini tentulah pencapaian lebih baik dari Pak Lah.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteSungguhpun BN hilang 7 kerusi Parlimen lagi, namun UMNO telah meningkatkan kerusi Parlimen yang diwakilinya daripada 79 kerus kepada 88 kerusi. Bagi kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri juga menyaksikan peningkatan kerusi UMNO daripada 239 pada 2008 kepada 242 pada 2013.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteIni bermakna gandingan Mohd Najib – Muhyiddin telah berjaya mengukuhkan kembali sokongan kepada UMNO yang merosot teruk pada 2008. Justeru dari segi pencapaian UMNO, tiada sebab Mohd Najib perlu meletak sebagai jawatan Presiden UMNO. Mohd Najib telah menjalankan tanggungjawab beliau paling utama sebagai Presiden UMNO iaitu memulihkan parti.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteKehilangan tujuh kerusi Parlimen memang agak mengecewakan, namun Mohd Najib telah berjaya menambah sokongan pengundi terhadap BN daripada 4 juta pada 2008 kepada 5.3 juta pada 2013. Dan kita semua tahu, pengurangan kerusi ini bukan kerana isu polisi yang lemah, kepimpinan yang lemah atau kebencian rakyat kepada kepimpinan negara seperti 2008.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteSebaliknya, peningkatan kerusi Pakatan kali ini hanyalah kerana kaum Cina mahu DAP berkuasa besar dalam politik negara. Ini telah saya bincangkan dalam siri kedua analisis PRU 13 semalam.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteJadi mengapa Mohd Najib perlu meletak jawatan sebagai Presiden UMNO? Hanya orang yang tidak mahu berfikir, berdendam dan mahu merebut kuasa dalam UMNO sahaja yang mencadangkan sedemikian. Untuk mereka yang mahu UMNO terus kuat dan kukuh, mereka tahu bahawa parti berada dalam landasan yang betul di bawah Mohd Najib.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteNamun Mohd najib bukan sempurna. Beliau perlu melakukan perubahan dan pembetulan diri, kerajaan dan parti bagi meneruskan momentum sokongan ini. Ini telah saya nyatakan dalam siri pertama analisis PRU 13 ini.
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteKepada sahabat-sahabat yang menulis membelasah Mohd Najib dan Muhyiddin hari ini, tanyalah diri kita adakah kepimpinan Mohd Najib lebih baik atau buruk dari Pak Lah? Saya percaya ramai dalam hati nurani mereka menyatakan Mohd Najib lebih baik. Memang ada perkara kita tidak bersetuju dengan Mohd Najib, namun apakah ia satu justifikasi untuk menjatuhkannya dan membenarkan DAP menepuk tangan?
NO NEED FOR NAJIB TO MAKE WAY FOR HIS DEPUTY.. BUT ANWAR SHOULD QUIT FROM POLITICS AS PROMISED
ReplyDeleteMohd Najib memerlukan masa memperbaiki kerosakan yang berlaku sejak 2004 -2009. Ia tidak boleh diselesaikan dalam masa yang singkat!
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDeleteTun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hari ini berkata pengganti beliau Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak masih menjadi pemimpin terbaik untuk menerajui negara selepas pilihan raya umum.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDeleteBekas Perdana Menteri itu berkata beliau memberikan sokongan penuh kepada Najib dan berharap perdana menteri akan meneruskan agenda transformasi beliau.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDelete"Rakyat Malaysia telah memberikan isyarat jelas yang mereka mahukan perubahan dan Najib perlu respons kepada itu dengan mempergiatkan lagi program transformasi beliau untuk menangani isu seperti rasuah, jenayah dan kos hidup.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDelete"Saya percaya beliau sudah mempunyai strategi-strategi untuk melakukan penambahbaikan dalam bidang-bidang berkenaan," kata bekas Perdana Menteri itu dalam kenyataan hari ini.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDeleteAbdullah yang melepaskan jawatan awal 2009 berkata, beliau juga ingin menyeru supaya rakyat bersatu padu dan sedia untuk bermuafakat.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDelete"Kita tidak boleh membiarkan sebarang percubaan untuk menjadikan keputusan pilihan raya sebagai isu perkauman.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDelete"Tindakan tuduh-menuduh dan menyalahkan mana-mana komuniti adalah tidak adil dan tidak memberi manfaat," katanya. Abdullah juga mahu pihak pembangkang untuk menerima dan menghormati keputusan pilihan raya.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDelete"Rakyat Malaysia berhak untuk menikmati kestabilan dan kepastian yang hanya tercapai apabila semua pihak dapat memperakui keputusan pilihan raya.
JANGAN CAMPUR TANGAN URUSAN UMNO, SUARA ANDA TIDAK DITERIMA
ReplyDelete"Marilah kita terus maju ke depan demi kepentingan semua rakyat Malaysia," katanya.
Husam sepatutnya mendesak Anuar Ibrahim berhenti dari arena politik dan meneruskan cita-citanya untuk menjadi pensyarah universiti di atas kegagalannya menawan putrajya bukn menyibuk dengan urusan UMNO.
ReplyDeleteAn opinion poll carried out in Penang, Kedah and Perlis recently showed that Datuk Seri Najib Razak is still the prime minister of choice for the majority of the people there.
ReplyDeleteThe poll, conducted by the Malaysian Political Research institute, National Professors Council and Universiti Utara Malaysia involved 1,830 eligible voters.
ReplyDeleteStratified sampling (a method of sampling from a population) was used as the method of research, where topics, such as the party and prime minister of choice based on demographics and factors influencing the choice of candidates, were evaluated. In terms of the preferred prime minister for different races, Najib was still the primary choice.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to getting the highest number of votes among male and female voters, all those in the government sectors were agreeable in retaining Najib as prime minister.
ReplyDeleteNajib also received support from workers of different income levels, except those earning above RM5,000 and was given full support by young voters and people of different academic qualifications.
ReplyDeleteDespite GE13 being dubbed as the country's first "social media election", Najib, besides receiving support from the cyber-savvy population, also received the nod from the "anachronistic" masses.
ReplyDeleteVoters who had no access to the Internet also preferred BN as the ruling party. A Majority of the voters in the poll also agreed that candidates could contest as an independent.
ReplyDeleteCivil society agrees: Malaysia is a divided nation, but one that may yet, and should, and must, come together.
ReplyDelete1Malaysia Foundation Trustee Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye has called for a National Unity Consultative Council to begin the efforts toward repairing racial integration and national unity, adding that racial polarisation should be avoided at all costs.
ReplyDeleteInternational Movement for a Just World (JUST) president Dr Chandra Muzaffar echoed the call for the council, stressing its importance in restoring racial harmony. "The council must represent all the political parties, individuals within or outside the political arena who can contribute ideas on solidarity and participate in sincere dialogues," he said.
ReplyDeleteTheir statements echoed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's call for a national reconciliation project aimed at repairing the rifts that have developed in society, brought to the fore by GE13.
ReplyDeleteRacial and religious relations have not always been perfect in Malaysia, and sometimes far from it, but the ideal and the efforts to achieve it have brought Malaysia together and helped ensure our unique place in the region and the world: a progressive Muslim-majority country dedicated to growth and harmony.
ReplyDeleteThis is the theme of the 1Malaysia concept on which Najib has built his administration, and he shows no signs of ending that project or its ideals soon. It is to Najib's credit that he has refused to abandon this project even after winning fewer seats in Parliament than he had hoped; he clearly understands that this is the way forward for Barisan Nasional and Malaysia as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI dont think Muhyiddin is ready to take that responsibilities
ReplyDeleteTunggu pengumuman ja la tu
ReplyDeleteHe will give his way when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteDont ever worry about that
ReplyDeleteBesides everything happens for a reason.
ReplyDeleteTun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said yesterday his successor Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is still the best person to continue to lead the country after the general election.
ReplyDeleteBy voting for candidates of low calibre from Pakatan Rakyat, and to some extent, from the Barisan Nasional, the people of Sabah have lost the opportunity to change the State Government.
ReplyDeleteThe people of Sabah were vanquished in the fight for political autonomy when they themselves rejected the one and only Sabah-based opposition party that is SAPP (Sabah Progressive Party).
ReplyDeleteThe former prime minister said he was giving Najib his full support and hope that the latter would continue with his agenda for transformation.
ReplyDeletePakatan Rakyat has successfully split the opposition votes and now they can be the undisputed opposition with Barisan Nasional continuing to be the Sabah State Government exactly like what is happening in Sarawak presently.
ReplyDeleteSAPP was completely incinerated and more than 90 per cent of their candidates lost their deposits; of what use now is the 12 opposition state seats when Barisan Nasional is still in firm control of the State Government?
ReplyDelete“Malaysians have sent a clear message that they want change and Datuk Seri Najib must respond to this by intensifying his transformation programme to address issues such as corruption, crime and the cost of living.
ReplyDeleteThe voters of Sabah have allowed themselves to be cheated when Anwar Ibrahim’s Pakatan Rakyat did not save the people of Sabah but actually destroyed us in the end and eventually sent all of us to the dungeons of slavery!
ReplyDelete“I believe that he has the right strategies in place to demonstrate improvement in these areas,” said the former prime minister in a statement yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAbdullah is currently in Bahrain to attend the 31st InterAction Council Annual meeting.
Najib who succeeded Abdullah on April 3, 2009, won a new mandate when the Barisan Nasional (BN) secured 133 of the 222 parliamentary seats in last Sunday’s general election to form the federal government.
ReplyDeleteTwo days ago, Najib took the oath of office as prime minister before Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah at Istana Negara, Kuala Lumpur.
Abdullah also called for national unity and reconciliation, saying that there must not be any attempt to racialise the election results by blaming any particular community as that would be unfair and unhelpful.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, he called upon the opposition to accept and respect the election results.
“Malaysians deserve stability and certainty that can only come with finality and closure from this election. Let us move on in the interest of all Malaysians,” he added.
Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hari ini menggesa agar semua percubaan untuk membangkitkan sentimen perkauman dihentikan yang menyalahkan komuniti tertentu di atas prestasi buruk Barisan Nasional (BN) di peti undi Ahad lalu.
ReplyDelete"Ini tidak adil dan tidak membantu,"
ReplyDeleteBeliau juga menggesa pembangkang menerima dan menghormati keputusan pilihan raya, walaupun mereka kalah dengan majoriti tipis dan mendakwa penipuan dan kesalahan pilihan raya besar-besaran dalam proses Pilihan Raya 2013.
ReplyDelete"Rakyat Malaysia berhak untuk kestabilan dan kepastian yang hanya boleh dicapai dengan semua pihak menerima keputusan pilihan raya ini," katanya dalam mesej kepada pembangkang.
ReplyDeleteMari kita bergerak ke hadapan untuk kepentingan rakyat Malaysia."
ReplyDeleteHak dan kepentingan rakyat harus dihormati.
ReplyDeleteAdakah Najib harus bertanggung jawab atas kekalahan menjamin kerusi yang lebih banyak?
ReplyDeleteAdakah calon yang lebih bersesuaian selain Najib?
ReplyDeleteI dont think Muhyiddin is ready to take that responsibilities
ReplyDeleteMuhyiddin eying for the Pm seat also.
1 Malaysia memang slogan yang terbaik. Tetapi memandangkan PRu13 ini mencetus perbelahan antara kaum oleh pihak tertentu.
ReplyDeleteMany would agree that if we were to look back in time, questions would rise as how on earth did this mediocre, flip-flop, un-inspiring, weak, and above all - stupid personality - get to be catapulted to the highest executive position in the country.
ReplyDeletePak Lah should at the most, be made the President of Kepala Batas District Council
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteMalaysia cannot ill-afford to have Pak Lah as the Prime Minister. This country has become a sophisticated country that requires a Prime Minister who is competent in economy, politics, nation-building and handling of global affairs. Pak Lah does not have these qualifications.
At the very least, I would not have made the following mistakes:
ReplyDelete1) To claim that Anwar Ibrahim was no longer an issue to be dealt with by UMNO before the March 2008 election,
2) To choose the wrong date for general election knowing very well that both UMNO and other BN components were struggling to explain issues around the price escalation of petrol, rice, sugar, cooking oil etc etc
4) To proceed with the long-term charter of a new executive business jet for yourself to justify your useless overseas trips - and worse of all - to use Agong's as an excuse that he (meaning you) needed a plane to perform his function as the Head of the country.
