KUALA LUMPUR: Street demonstrations must not be made a part of the Malaysian culture, the Prime Minister said.
The people should not have to live in chaos and uncertainty, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
“We are peace-loving citizens and we want to live in a nation that has a bright future,” the Umno president added when addressing thousands of people comprising party grassroots leaders and representatives from Malay-based non-governmental organisations yesterday.
The special session was organised by Umno to explain to its members and supporters the latest issues, particularly the current political situation and the illegal rallies on Saturday.
The large attendance resulted in many having to stand or listen to Najib’s speech from outside Dewan Merdeka in the Putra World Trade Centre.
Also present were Deputy Prime Minister and Umno deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, vice-presidents Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and Wanita chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil.
