Mahathir and Najib fight to the death in Johor
In his latest letter on March 2, Mahathir reminded Johor voters that working with “kleptocrats and the court cluster” in Umno would see them eventually end up at the losing end.
(FMT) – Najib Razak has hit out at Dr Mahathir Mohamad, urging Johor voters not to be “tricked again” by his open letters to them in the state election campaign.
In the latest exchange between the two former prime ministers, Najib said Mahathir failed to lead the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government effectively in his second tenure at the helm, following the 14th general election (GE14) in 2018.
“This ‘grandfather’ keeps on writing letters. There are already three different letters in which he repeatedly talks only about Najib.
“But what did he do in his 22 months as prime minister (leading the PH administration)? What did he do? I don’t think voters want to be deceived again,” he said in a speech while campaigning for Barisan Nasional (BN) in Benut today.
Najib urged Johoreans to vote wisely and not to fall for the lies and empty promises Mahathir is making.
“Mahathir and PH failed after the last general election. But we know that BN can correct this and place Johor on the right track for progress. The man to lead the charge is Johor BN chief Hasni Mohammad, our menteri besar candidate.”
In his latest letter on March 2, Mahathir reminded Johor voters that working with “kleptocrats and the court cluster” in Umno would see them eventually end up at the losing end.
He also said Johoreans had successfully stopped Najib in GE14 but this. was undone when PH was toppled. Mahathir pinned the blame on Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin’s ambitions to become prime minister.
Najib reiterated that BN was the only coalition that voters could bank on compared with the opposition parties and Muhyiddin’s Perikatan Nasional, urging Johoreans not to waste their votes.
“PH’s candidates are useless. PAS is also useless. Amanah also can’t make it. All that’s left is Pejuang, which is even worse. That party is not even relevant.”
