‘Bleak future if opposition rules country’
DAP will lead the opposition, says PM, as ‘politics is a numbers game’.
BALING (Kedah): DAP will definitely rule the opposition in the future, regardless of who leads the coalition, Prime Minister Najib Razak said today.
He said despite the opposition having parties such as PKR, Amanah and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), the opposition of the future would be led by DAP.
“Politics is a numbers game. According to parliamentary democracy, the party which garners majority support in Parliament will dictate the direction of the opposition.
“So congak demi congak (based on my calculations), DAP will lead the opposition. It’s impossible for PKR, Amanah or the ‘parti bunga’ (PPBM) to lead,” Najib said at the “Evening with PM” event here today.
Najib reminded the 23,000-strong crowd to think about their future if DAP led the government.
“Let’s close our eyes and think for a bit. Imagine this land is ruled by DAP, not Umno and BN.
“What are the implications going to be? You think you can complain to them? Find solace under them?
