Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today described Pakatan Harapan chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the nation's 'No. 1 actor' and said that he deserved the Academy Award for Best Actor for his antics
According to Bernama, the caretaker prime minister said this was evident as Mahathir was once the strongest critic of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim but now he has changed his tune for his personal interest.
Najib was speaking in front of a crowd of 2,000 people at a meet-the-people’s programme in Jerantut, Pahang today.
Najib told the crowd that he shaked his head in disbelief when he saw Mahathir shook hands with Anwar in the courtroom as he once called the latter the "worst kind of person" (manusia paling dahsyat)
"You can't criticise people, then offer a handshake. What is this? Number one actor, Academy Award Best Actor.
"We cannot accept such people. We must have a stand. In politics, it does not matter whether we win or lose, we must have dignity." Najib said.
Najib said Mahathir was merely a puppet of the DAP to show that they are good to the Malays
The caretaker prime minister said he wanted to know whether the DAP liked Muslims and whether it wanted to help develop the rural areas.
"They are not like MCA, MIC and Gerakan, as these parties are sincere in helping the people. That’s why our country is progressing, is peaceful and is becoming a great nation, so much so that we see many huge transformations taking place," he said.
