Former DAP Vice-Chairman call public support to PM's leadership

Tunku Abdul Aziz

Former DAP Vice-Chairman, Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim has made an impassioned call to the people to support the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Give Najib the chance and time to see his transformation programmes currently being implemented, come into fruition, he said.

Tunku Abdul Aziz who quit the party on Monday to defend his stand against holding the Bersih 3.0 demonstration on April 28, repeated his view that the transformation programmes were good for the country.

No objections, but do it peacefully. Unless..

Datuk Seri Najib

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government has no objections to demonstrations as long they did not transgress the country’s laws.

He said the Barisan Nasional (BN) government practiced open democracy and everyone’s rights was protected under existing laws.

“We have no objections if you want to hold a peaceful demonstration, we practice open democracy, everyone has rights, including the opposition, but the country’s laws must be respected.

“But do it peacefully, like civilized people, not go wild and jump around as though you have lost your senses,” he said at an “Evening with the Prime Minister” event at Dataran Rompin which was attended by some 10,000 despite heavy rain, here yesterday.

 Najib said he was disappointed that some of the participants did not only not respect the laws, but also refused to heed police’s orders and even attacked policemen.

He said this was aimed at tarnishing the image of the police and draw the attention of the international media to claim that Malaysian police were brutal.

“We told them to hold the rally in a stadium, but they wanted to bring the participants to the streets.

“Maybe they were unhappy that if held in the stadium, foreign media like Al-Jazeera, CNN and BBC would not be interested,” he said.
