Have guts, Isma tells 'talk big' Najib

 

Calling on Najib Abdul Razak to keep his word, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) vice-president Abdul Rahman Mat Dali said the prime minister’s problem is his ‘anti-Malay’ advisers.

“Najib usually talks big (about Malay issues) during the (Umno) general assembly, but when he returns to Putrajaya, he will be straightened by his non-Muslim and anti-Malay advisers.

“So this time, we want to see a PM who is more courageous and credible.

“And therefore restoring the Malay community's and Umno’s confidence, which has eroded due to Najib’s weak leadership,” he added.

Abdul Rahman reminded Najib, who is also Umno president, not to betray the trust of the Malays and bumiputera in the issue of economic development.

He said during his policy speech at the Umno general assembly, Najib had said that Umno and BN are committed to strengthening the Malay and bumiputera’s economic status.

Therefore, he said, Najib must keep his promise.

“What has been said must be translated into action; don’t just dish out rhetoric,” he told Ismaweb today.

Rahman said there is no point that whenever Umno meets, there are fiery speeches but nothing happens.

“Year after year, there are no significant changes to the Malay and bumiputera economy,” he added.
