IT'S NOT THE TIME FOR POLITICKING, SAYS NAJIB
PUTRAJAYA, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- It is not the time now for politicking, speculating and playing political games as the country needs to remain united and cohesive to face the global financial and economic challenges, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said Tuesday.
He said the government would act responsibly and swiftly to address any
eventuality to safeguard the people's and the nation's interests.
"I hope all parties will understand, cooperate and do the same," said
Najib,
who is also Finance Minister, at a press conference.
Asked if the message was meant for anyone in particular, he said: "It's up
to one's interpretation."
On views that investors would skip Malaysia even if the economy
recovered due to political concerns, Najib asked: "What is so uncertain about
Malaysian political situation? National Front (BN (Barisan Nasional) continues
to be in power."
