Khalid Ibrahim is lightweight

Khalid Cannot Bring Development To Ijok, Says Najib

KUALA SELANGOR, April 19 (Bernama) -- Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) candidate in the Ijok state seat by-election Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim will not be able to bring development to the area as he is outside the government, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
He said Khalid had held the post of chief executive officer of Guthrie and PNB as he was given the opportunity by the Barisan Nasional (BN) government to head these large corporations.
"He was a corporate figure because he was in government...overnight (he became) a heavyweight, now he is lightweight. So, don't call him a heavyweight...he's a lightweight as he is not supported by the government in power," Najib said to BN supporters on his visit to the People's Progressive Party operations room in Batang Berjuntai here after visiting the MIC operations room.
"He can't do anything...he can talk until he drools. But this is the reality. But if the BN candidate (K. Parthiban) even whispers to the Menteri Besar (Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo) the latter listens."
Najib also urged BN supporters to forget about trivial matters and all differences but to fully unite to see to BN's victory with a bigger majority on April 28, the polling day.
Najib said the BN had an excellent track record in national development and under its rule, unity and harmony among the people were among the best in the world.
He reminded Ijok voters not to hamper the progress they had enjoyed all this while by voting in the Opposition candidate.
"BN's victory will ensure continued development in rural places like Ijok which need projects to improve the residents' living standard.
"Selangor is also the most developed state in Malaysia, so areas like Kuala Selangor and Ijok fall under the state government's development plans."
Najib also called on the PPP by-election machinery to ensure that its 509 voters vote for the BN candidate.
The Ijok by-election is held following the death of its assemblyman and state exco member Datuk K. Sivalingam on April 4 in Chennai, India due to heart attack.
In the 2004 general election, Sivalingam defeated Keadilan's Abdol Raman Moharam with a majority of 1,649 votes.

tunku : najib said that khalid is lightweight not a heavyweight.well this people are in the category of "melayu mudah lupa". They have forgotten how they became heavyweight last time.anyway khalid is actually overweight(not heavyweight) compare to prathiban ( less weight).
