TWICE the Finance Minster of Malaysia and now a sought after political commentator, Tun Daim Zainuddin, attributed the Barisan Nasional’s poor showing at the May 5 general polls to incorrect strategy.
He told the China Press newspaper that Malaysia’ general elections is a parliamentary election and not a presidential election, adding that Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak’s advisors should be sacked.
“If you associate a vote for BN as a vote for him (Mohd Najib), then BN’s poorer results reflect on him too.
“This is a parliamentary election, not a presidential election. The PM's advisors should be sacked.” he said.
And is Mohd Najib a lame duck Prime Minister and Umno President?
The following is the English transcript of the interview, which covered a wide variety of issues surrounding the outcome of the 13th GE, made available to this blog. I record my appreciation to the China Press for its superb effort and to Tun Daim’s office.
