Opposition unable to emulate Barisan Nasional - Najib

The opposition has not been able to emulate the political understanding and family spirit enjoyed in the Barisan Nasional (BN) all this while, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"The opposition pact has tried to copy the BN but we can now see in Selangor the political understanding the three parties have tried to forge in it has gone to pieces.

"We have 13 parties (in the BN) besides friends of the BN but we are more successful as a coalition because were are sincere about achieving our common goals and believe in power sharing," he said.

Najib, who is also BN chairman, said this when opening Malaysian Makkal Sakti Party's 6th Annual General Meeting at Merdeka Hall, Putra World Trade Centre in the capital, Sunday.

Also present were Malaysian Makkal Sakti Party president Datuk R.S. Thanenthiran, BN secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and leaders of other BN component parties.
