And in showing leadership by example, Najib went on the offensive immediately, taking numerous swipes at the Pakatan Rakyat during his 40-minute opening speech at the Gerakan NDC. He slammed the opposition for not having announced its shadow cabinet until now. Dont talk about forming a government, form a shadow cabinet first! said Najib, adding that in contrast to Pakatan Rakyat, the BN presents a unified front to the people, with all component parties under the

To be the opposition, (you only) need three weapons: kutuk, hasut dan janji (insult, incite and promise).
