Najib, who is also BN chairperson, said nepotism openly occurred in Selangor where a fit elected representative was asked to resign and be replaced by one’s own wife.
A by-election was earlier held and after that, the wife was chosen as candidate for the menteri besar post.
“Just imagine, if in BN we make our own wife as menteri besar, we will be accused of open nepotism but this is happening in Selangor.
“It is up to the people in Selangor to think of what is good and appropriate to be done based on wisdom and rationale, and this consideration will save the state and country as a whole.
Speaking in Selangor nominal Prime Minister Najib criticised his victim, Anwar Ibrahim, for “making his wife Mentri Besar”.
This from the man who seeks to imprison his political opponent to prevent him taking that very post.
Najb fulminated about “nepotism”! Given that UMNO is, and has always been, the Malaysian home of nepotism, such hypocrisy passes all his previously established records in that field.
As every man woman and child in Malaysia knows, Puan Rosmah is the real Prime Minister of the country and any attempt by Najib to alter that would provoke one of those well known explosions!
Unless Najib wants to contend that Malaysia has done badly under its real lady PM he should not criticise the proposed appointment of another lady to be MB of Selangor!
