BN Development Agenda Much Superior, Says Najib
The prime minister said with no experience and track record behind them, the opposition failed to prove that their alliance was stronger than that of the BN which had been tested for more than 50 years.
"The BN government knows that in shouldering the responsibility, we've got to have a sense of humanity and tawadduk (humility) to understand the aspirations of the people, to feel the pulse of people," he said when addressing nearly 10,000 people at the 'Sepagi Bersama Perdana Menteri' programme at Arena Square here today.
He said even though times had changed, but the BN principle remained unchanged amid different styles.
"We have different style before, but the principle does not change, only the style changed. Before, (the leader paced with) a walking stick and dressed in a bush jacket, now adorning the 1Malaysia shirt, simple and not expensive. The government should have continuity because if there is no continuity, the government can't make long-term plans," he said.
Najib said changing the government was not like switching menu as it would not benefit the country and the people.
"As a developing country with a future, we need continuity, we need it not just for the sake of power, but for the people to get greater benefits under the BN," he said.
He said opposition had been instigating the people to hate the government, but democracy did not revolve around hatred, instead it was about whose agenda was better, and this bolstered the BN's confidence to continue with the objective of developing the country and the people.
The prime minister said this was attested in the 2013 budget which was aimed at achieving equitable social justice, which was inclusive and comprehensive, by taking into account the needs of all levels of society.
He dismissed claims that the budget was an election budget, otherwise the government would have given more than what had been presented.
"That's why our budget is a responsible budget. There is not even one international or local analyst who says that our budget has no credibility and irresponsible.
"But many chided the budget presented by the opposition to the extent that they did not analyse it as there is no basis of credibility in the budget," he said.
Najib said the BN government also had big plans for Perak development such as the West Coast Expressway project that would give a positive impact on the progress of the people and places like Bagan Datoh and Teluk Intan.
"The highway project will become a reality in a few years' time as the coastal areas from Selangor to Perak are not well developed compared to the areas along the North-South Expressway. I believe towns like Teluk Intan will see rapid development soon," he said.
Present were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri G.Palanivel.

ANWAR IS SLIDING DOWN THE ‘POLITICAL SCALE’ AS THE TRUTH PREVAILS
It is cosmopolitan in every way as the government does not restrict her population in seeking wealth and freedom to choose what type of education they want – the only country that allows vernacular schools to exist alongside the national schools.
Malaysia is the only country in the world that allows her Chinese population to study in their mother tongue language which is the Chinese schools and Indians the Indian schools, while both the races can also opt to study in national schools which uses Bahasa Malaysia, the national language of the country.
Bahasa Malaysia is the national language given the majority of the population are Malays but English is compulsory in these schools as it is the international language that the population need to use for businesses as well as further studies.
Economically, the Chinese and Indians have all the freedom to do businesses as the abundance of wealth in the country has no boundaries and the freedom to seek wealth is well open for those who have the initiatives and enterprising.
In short, the government, led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak, through her policies does not discriminate any races in all aspects as the slogan 1Malaysia treats every individual as equal irrespective of race or class.
Given such a background, there are still, a minor part of the population, who cry foul and condemn the government alleging discriminations and abuse of power.
With the upcoming 13th general election, the oppositions, led by Anwar Ibrahim, hit the pre-election campaign trail with issues that are considered as irrelevant by the majority.
Attempting to cover their weaknesses and failures, the oppositions go on an aggressive onslaught against the ruling party alleging corruptions, abuse of power and mismanagements.
Diverting their weaknesses and failures in the states they rule – Selangor, Kelantan, Kedah and Penang – they tell lies and create make-believed scenarios that aim at creating doubts towards the credibility and image of the ruling party.
To some extent, the oppositions have been successful initially but lately, the voters who voted for them in 2008 general election are seeing through their bluffs.
They know Anwar-led oppositions are only good in making promises but never fulfill them as being experienced by those in the states ruled by the opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR).
So at present Anwar is keeping quiet or move silently because attendance to his talks or ceramahs have dwindled drastically, no more in thousands, just a few hundreds who are imported.
Knowing that he is no longer trusted by the public at large but only politicians who have ulterior motives, Anwar let his men speak out, raising issues and running down the government through whatever means they can think of.
Anwar is actually 'going down the political scale' on credibility and he is trying to put a stop to this by doing so.
He knows if he continues to open his mouth, he will continue sliding down the political scale to one stage where nobody will want to hear him out.
A clear example is the dwindling audience he is getting from his talks and ceramahs. The truth hurts and to Anwar, the truth hurts badly.
