Waythamoorthy's call for Najib to quit as PM gets support from Binkor assemblyman Jeffrey Kitingan.
KOTA KINABALU: Many in Sabah and Sarawak will not shed any tears if Najib Tun Razak quits as Prime Minister, claims STAR Sabah chief Jeffrey Kitingan.
Backing the call by Hindraf Makkal Sakthi chief P Waythamoorthy for Najib to quit, Kitingan described the prime minister as the worst leader in the history of the Federation of Malaysia.
“No one can do any worse after him. His recent faux pas on kangkung tells all. Najib is no leader. In fact, he’s a dangerous person since he only thinks of his own survival. It’s not even politics.
“A leader is one who solves problems, not creates them,” said the outspoken Sabah politician who is also the Bingkor assemblyman.
Kitingan recalled Najib thundering not so long ago: “Kita mesti mempertahankan kalimah Allah untuk kaum Muslim.” (We must defend the word ‘Allah’ for the Muslims).
“How can such a person pretend to be a prime minister for All? The warped sense of logic is telling,” stated Kitingan in a statement here.
He said another indication of Najib’s lack of credibility as a leader is his flip-flopping position on the Hindraf-Barisan Nasional MOU, the use of the word Allah by non-Muslims and indecision on the call to review the compliance of the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
Kitingan also took Najib to task for being silent on the plight of the flood victims in Sabah.
“While Sabah is going through the worst flood in living memory, we have yet to hear from the Prime Minister and Petronas on any form of relief for the flood victims. This is tantamount to a crime against humanity.
Calling his administration “the Malayan Government in Putrajaya” he pointed out how most of the revenue of Sabah and Sarawak was taken away and left the people of the two states among the poorest in the federation.
“If Najib visits the flood victims in Sabah, Umno’s so-called deposit state along with Sarawak, the sky will fall down,” he said sarcastically.
“Star Sabah urges Najib to think of the country, and not just himself, and make way before he does further damage to the economy, race relations and the integrity of the federation before Sabah and Sarawak rethink their position in it after over 50 years of neo-colonialism.”
Is RCI report being doctored?
If Najib refuses to make way, he said the Umno Supreme Council could meet and sack him as the party president and put in an alternative.
“Under the circumstances, Star Sabah can think of no better candidate than Tengku Razaleigh in Umno to be prime minister,” he said.
He reminded that the Gua Musang MP would have become prime minister in 1987 had the High Court discounted the votes from the 30 illegal branches which went to incumbent Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
“Had this been done, the history of the federation would have been very much different.
“Tengku Razaleigh would have held, for one, the long-delayed Review of the compliance of the Malaysia Agreement 1963,” said Kitingan.
“The lackluster Najib premiership is a historical opportunity for the Umno Supreme Council to rectify a grievous wrong-doing done by the Court to Tengku Razaleigh and draft him in as the prime minister to finish Najib’s term, before he (Razaleigh) becomes too old for the job, and keep him on for another term if the BN can survive the 14th General Election in 2018.
“If the Umno Supreme Council wants to be sympathetic to Najib, they can pack him off to Mongolia as Ambassador. That would be poetic justice indeed,” he added.
Touching on the long delay in the release of the report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on illegal immigrants in Sabah, Kitingan said that unless the original report is now being doctored and sanitised by Putrajaya there was no why it had not been released.
“It’s unlikely that the report, if at all released, will mention the thousands of illegal immigrants on the electoral rolls with MyKads which they are not entitled to hold under the law and the Constitution,” he said.
