Najib Razak has laughed at Mahathir Mohamad’s claim that it was the former protege who was the main conspirator in the Pakatan Harapan government’s collapse.
Ironically, Najib ridiculed the ousted prime minister’s claim via Facebook posts.
Najib has been posting frequently on Facebook ever since he was ousted following the May 2018 Malaysia general election.
Najib wrote in a post in the morning: "Am I able to bring down a government just by posting on Facebook every day? That’s dangerous."
“I’m waiting for PS5 to be released. When I play PS5, then even the United Nations will collapse.”
Najib has more than four million followers on Facebook.Najib's jibe at Mahathir was likely the result of the 94-year-old's statement in a Sinar Harian interview, published on March 11.
Mahathir, the former PH leader, accused the former Barisan Nasional chairman and Umno leader of masterminding the government’s downfall.
The Sinar Harian interview was Mahathir's first interview since resigning on Feb. 24.
In it, he said Najib was pushing the concept of a Malay-Muslim government in the last general election to gain Malay support.
But when PH won the 2018 election, Najib continued with the same tactic with PAS and also reached out to Bersatu, he said.
The DAP party in the PH coalition then got demonised,
When Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin took the party out of PH, it was purportedly for the reason of building a stronger Malay-Muslim government with Umno and PAS, with the backing of Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
In a separate Facebook post earlier today, Najib posted a screenshot of the Sinar Harian interview with Mahathir.
“It seems I am the main cause of the PH government’s collapse. I didn’t even know this. But now I do."“However, I don’t remember when I went out on the streets to topple the government. I mainly post on Facebook, and this can cause a government to fall?”
