KUANTAN, April 11- Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Barisan Nasional (BN) government is capable of making major changes for the wellbeing of the people, thus there is no necessity for the people to change the government merely for the sake of changing.
The Prime Minister said that for the past four years, the BN government leadership had already brought various changes and major transformations for the benefit of everyone.
“We are capable of making major changes if the people want them, and there is no need for the government to be replaced by a new one. Major changes can be implemented with the same government,” he said in his speech at the launch of the Pahang Urban Transformation Centre (UTC), here today.
The UTC worth RM37 million was an initiative of the government to provide various major services by the government and private sectors to the urban community at a one-stop-centre. The Prime Minister said what was important to the people actually was not to change the government, but to enjoy and receive the changes implemented currently by the BN government.
“Transformation is not to change the government, the transformation that is called for can be implemented by us (the government),” he said. Najib said the people must be wise in evaluating the opposition pact which was purportedly implementing changes although its leadership had never reached a consensus on various issues.
“The people should ask the party that purportedly want to bring changes, are they capable of bringing changes? How can they bring changes when there are three captains in the group?” he said, to which the crowd of about 30,000 responded “sink”.
The Prime Minister said the people should also be wise in assessing the track record of the opposition leader (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim) who was previously in the government leadership. Najib said the opposition pact was now in disarray in determining their candidates for the 13th general election (GE13), and the people should be wise in evaluating what would happen if they were given the mandate.
Also present at the gathering were Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob and the Minister of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. The Pahang UTC was completed within a period of five weeks and was seen to be have given a major impact on the people. It is open every day from 8.30am until 10pm. The Prime Minister said Malaysia was the only country in the world which provided government and private sector services until 10pm.
