Why are Malay rulers having a special meeting, asks Najib


Najib Razak said he did not want the rich getting richer and had placed utmost importance on accountability between the government and the people.

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak has questioned why the palace has to organise a special meeting with all the Malay rulers to discuss efforts to fight Covid-19 during the Emergency.

In a Facebook post, Najib said there must be something wrong with the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government’s managing of the Covid-19 crisis which has led to a special meeting being called for.

He said the last time such a special meeting was held was on Oct 25.

“On that date, the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah dismissed suggestions that the country should be placed under a state of Emergency under the PN government after a special meeting with all the Malay rulers,” he said.

Comptroller of the Royal Household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin announced earlier today that a special meeting with all the Malay rulers would be held next Wednesday. The meeting would be chaired by the King.

“The discussions will revolve around efforts to contain the Covid-19 pandemic and its implementation during the Emergency,” he said in a statement today.

Earlier today, Najib explained the policies he embraced during his term as the sixth prime minister, saying he had wanted a more equal, egalitarian society.

In an interview with Great People TV host Ben Ibrahim streamed on YouTube, Najib said he wanted to close the gap between the rich and the poor because he did not believe in the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

“I was concerned about that and a part of my philosophy was to have a more egalitarian society,” he said.

Najib added that his utmost priority was a sense of accountability between the government and the people of Malaysia.

“I would interview ministers every quarter as I insisted on a report card, and every year I would present these reports to the people.

“For example, I wanted to let the people know how many roads were built, how many villages had been supplied with water and electricity, and in terms of poverty, how we raised the levels of income and even the GINI coefficient of the country,” he said.

“If you don’t have a direction or vision then you’re not delivering and if you don’t deliver, your tenure as a government will be short-lived,” he said.

  2. Jibby placed utmost accountability between the gomen and the people? So what happened to the 4 billion you took from KWAP and put into SRC? And why didn’t you return billions of GST refunds and instead put it in Consolidated Fund to spend Willy Nilly?

  4. 1) to delay the decision

    2) to spread the possible tempestuous reactions of the rakyat

    3) to showcase the workability of an already archaic & useless institution to the blurs
