With a dose of wit, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak today said there has been no doubt about the Barisan Nasional government remaining in power.
Speaking at the launch of a high speed broadband project in Putrajaya, he said: "We are always confident. We have been confident that the same government will be in office.”
"That's why we chose Sept 16 (to launch the project)," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
Najib was responding to Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s plan to launch a political coup with the defection of BN MPs.
Anwar, who returned to Parliament after a 10-year absence, had set Sept 16 to seize control of the federal government.
Politics of deception
Speaking about the project he launched, Najib said it is to herald a new future for Malaysia.
This is a project of concept of modern Malaysia, he added.
"This is a project to indicate how progressive the present government is," he said.
Asked on Anwar's claim that he had the numbers to form the next government, Najib said : "Yes, he can say all kinds of things. Let him say that."
Earlier, Najib said the opposition was engaging in politics of deception and clearly the claim to take over the government would not become a reality.
