‘Give us a chance’, PM asks Chinese

“Give us chance and we will prove that we are a government that can do the best for the people,” the prime minister said at the national Chinese New Year celebrations at the Pandamaran New Village here.
Najib urged the 5,000-strong crowd not to be disheartened by the recent attacks on houses of worship, linked to the “Allah” issue, but to take these as a challenge and a lesson.

“It’s a challenge that we should unite as one people, nation and 1 Malaysia,” he told the crowd.

Najib said the incidents were the work of extremists and not an indication that his 1 Malaysia policy had failed but instead showed that it was needed.

Heavy rain earlier marred and delayed tonight’s celebrations but Najib was unperturbed when he arrived at about 9pm.

During his speech, he joked that rain was “ong (Hokkien for ‘lucky’)” or an indication of good luck.

He said many had predicted the event would not be successful and lamented that the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) state government had torn down banners of him because proper forms were not filled.

Najib also lashed out at the Selangor state government for holding their Chinese New Year celebrations at the same time, purportedly so that many would not make it to Pandamaran.

But the prime minister expressed his gratitude to the crowd that welcomed him despite the rain and clashing state celebrations.

Other BN dignitaries present at tonight’s affair included MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu and Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.

Chinese Malaysians have given UMNO the chance for the past 50 years. 50 years and yet, though all of Chinese Malaysians accept and think of Malaysia as their only home, your UMNOPutras keep rejecting them and keep on treating them as immigrants. This is their only home. They have given UMNO 50 years to prove that it can do the best for the people but all they have seen, particularly since the time of Dr. M. is nothing but the abuse of power, corruption in high places, injustices against the poor and needy, racism and even the murder of innocents at the hands of UMNO's agencies. No, Najib, you and UMNO have had your chance!

You ripped the country and looked down on the Non Malays as second class citizens. UMNO and BN politicians became rich at the expense of the poor taxpayers

Now you want another chance.

Podah. Calling all Malaysians not to be hoodwinked by this rascist alliance called BN.

how to give you a chance, PM? when we still have of all the racist remarks of Perkasa and some from your cabinet and also all the unfair trial and death of TBH with lies after lies and cover up after cover up! Clean up the mess first, make the road straight and get rid of all the cronies and corrupted UMNO's. Let truth prevail and justice be done, then these chances will come by itself.

1. Your Perak fiasco
2. The submarine purchase commission
3. Altantuya
4. Perkasa
5. The A--- word issue
6. The Sodomy II setup
7. PKFZ
8. Ketuanan Melayu
9.The list goes on....

How can anyone trust you?

You have a long history of speaking with a forked tongue.!
