KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat, which has been playing the racial card in its quest for power, should not be given the opportunity to form the government because it will only take the country to the brink of destruction, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
The prime minister said on the other hand, the Barisan Nasional (BN) emphasised on harmony and progress in the multi-racial society and would not allow any quarters to incite racial hatred.
“If you play racial issues just to be popular or to win seats, the seats will eventually be used to destroy the country,” he said in front of about 10,000 people at a dinner hosted by the Business Association of Wangsa Maju at Prima Setapak here.
He said as a multiracial coalition, the BN adhered to a policy that preserved peace and harmony among the people.
