Don’t worry, Parliament will be dissolved

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak says the dissolution will come when all quarters are ready.

PAPAR: Parliament will only be dissolved when all quarters, including the people, are ready for the polls, said Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.

Asked how close is the dissolution of Parliament, he said, “Very soon, very soon, do the job first, do not worry.”

“Now I am on the ground explaining the policies and direction spearheaded by Barisan Nasional.

“We want the people to understand that a vote for BN is a vote for the country’s transformation agenda and a vote for peace and stability for a brighter future,” he told reporters after attending the people’s gathering here, today.

On his meeting with state BN leaders yesterday, Najib, who is also BN chairman, said there were no serious problems facing them except for matters pertaining to coordination and personality.

“On the whole, I am satisfied with the level of understanding among Sabah BN component parties,” he said.

On the choice of BN candidates in the 13th general election, Najib said the BN had almost finished selecting the candidates.

“We have to do background and security verifications and also check on any reports from the MACC [Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission] and others before we finalise the list,” he added.

Meanwhile, in MUAR, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has described the opposition’s struggle to be increasingly in disarray as it failed to agree on many matters, including the “kalimah Allah” issue.

He said this was different from BN’s struggle which was real in bringing development to the people and proven since BN began ruling the country more than 50 years ago.

“Don’t be influenced by the opposition’s propaganda as it can’t even get along with each other. But recently Nik Aziz [PAS spiritual adviser Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat] had gone to [DAP national chairman] Karpal Singh’s house [in Penang] where they celebrated his birthday. PAS is increasingly in a state of confusion unlike before.

“The people are also increasingly confused with the opposition’s struggle. The parties that really struggle for the ‘rakyat’ are Umno and BN.”

Muhyiddin said this in his speech at a programme with the residents of Kampung Sungai Alai and Sungai Ranggam, Panchor, near here. Also present were Bukit Serampang assemblyman Tahir Taat and Jorak assemblyman Shaharuddin Salleh.
