Najib accuses Kit Siang of inciting public after Sri Lanka comparisons
Former prime minister Najib Razak tells Lim Kit Siang to enjoy life as a retiree.
PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak has accused DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang of inciting the public by questioning whether Malaysia will suffer the same fate as Sri Lanka, which was recently plagued by unrest.
The former prime minister also called on police to arrest Lim.
Najib said Lim, who recently quit active politics, should not issue such statements, adding that the latter should enjoy life as a retiree instead.
“Why the need to continue lying and inciting the public? You have been doing it for the past 60 years, are you not satisfied?” he asked in a Facebook post.
Earlier today, Lim expressed concern that Malaysia would become a failed state like Sri Lanka in three to four decades.
The Iskandar Puteri MP also did not rule out the possibility of similar protests like the ones in the republic occurring here.
“Will the houses of the prime minister and ministers of Malaysia be set on fire by angry protestors as happened in Sri Lanka last week?,” he wrote in a blog.
Earlier this month, the houses of several lawmakers from Sri Lanka’s ruling party were set on fire by anti-government protesters.
An MP from the ruling party was also killed in a violent protest which forced Mahinda Rajapaksa to resign as prime minister.
