Najib’s FB page bemoans Malaysia’s “sorry state”, says “don’t break the vote”





THE admins of imprisoned former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s Facebook page have made an impassioned plea to the rakyat to not break the vote during polling today and collectively ensure political stability for the next five years.


In a Facebook post last night (Nov 18), they said the country once prospered under Barisan Nasional (BN), but claimed this all changed once Pakatan Harapan (PH) took over the government in May 2018.

“(It was) a miserable time. The economy collapsed, jobs were lost, welfare was cut, the people were insulted for pleading (to PH to abide by) their promises and institutions were molested at will,” they alleged.


Malaysia was then led by a Perikatan Nasional (PN) government from March 2020 onwards, but with coalition members “not being on the same page”, their efforts were thwarted from within.

Therefore, Najib’s Facebook page admins said there are only two main questions that should be considered by voters when casting their votes today.

“Which party candidate really understands the needs of the area and is able to bring the voice of the people (to Parliament or the state assemblies), and which party is truly capable of leading the country to face times of economic crisis?”

They noted that the world is now facing a crisis of economic turmoil – a crisis that began as major western countries such as the US and UK, as well as Europe, struggled to deal with their respective economic challenges.



Major Asian markets like Hong Kong and Japan are not having things easy as well, dealing with high inflation and borrowing rates, soaring costs of living, job losses and supply chain issues.

“Malaysia facing spillover effects too”

The spillover effects of all of this, Najib’s Facebook page admins explained, are being experienced by developing Asian countries, with Malaysia not being spared too.

“While neighbouring countries are rapidly developing and becoming the preferred destination of foreign investors, raking in hundreds of billions, Malaysia is no longer a consideration among investors,” they added. “This is the sorry state and sad situation that we are in.”

As such, they asked voters to reflect on which party can be trusted to protect and take care of them, their parents, children and families in this economic crisis and bring back the “much, much-needed development agenda.”

Najib’s Facebook page admins also noted that some have forecasted that neither PH nor PN would be able to garner enough seats to form a government, and a mixed government led by BN and requiring PN’s support would likely materialise instead.

As such, they called on voters to “make a decision that is believed to be the best” for Malaysia and not break the vote so that another round of political instability can be avoided – something they said the country cannot afford.

“We need stability. We need prosperity. We truly need a stable government, one that ensures the welfare and prosperity of the nation.

“(So), vote for the future of all of us; the power is in the people’s hands.”

The voter turnout as of 2pm is at 58% or 12.2 million voters – a 2.94 million increase from the 9.26 million voter turnout registered at the same time during the last polls in 2018. – Nov 19, 2022
