GE13: Najib calm when pestered for comments on Utusan Malaysia’s front page headline

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak kept his cool when a reporter pestered him continuously for comments on Utusan Malaysia's front page headline.

The newspaper had carried the headline titled “Apa lagi Cina mau?” (What more do the Chinese want?) yesterday.

At a press conference held after a closed-door session with Barisan Nasional's newly elected Members of Parliament, the Prime Minister was asked by a reporter to comment on the headline.

Najib replied by explaining how the DAP had manipulated the Chinese into believing they could change the Government.

He then went on to take several more questions before the same reporter asked Najib whether he endorsed Utusan Malaysia's headline as well as the term “Chinese tsunami”.

“What I am saying is that the Opposition created a false assumption that it could change the Government,” he said.

About five minutes later, as Najib was explaining the need for all quarters to terangkan (expose) DAP's tactics, the reporter again interjected by asking: “How do you terangkan when Utusan (Malaysia) came up with a headline like this?”
