Najib not brave enough

Even as Prime Minister Najib Razak says he may back down from contesting the Penanti by-election in Penang, political pundits are warning that it is a trick and he is trying to hoodwink the nation once again. There is also fear that his advisers may plot a reprisal of the May 13, 1969 incident as its 40th anniversary approaches.
Najib’s real objective, the pundits said, is to prevent snap election in Perak at all costs, although three-quarters of the people there want a fresh mandate to determine who they really want to lead their state.
