KUALA LUMPUR: The Opposition has been urged to work together with the Government to develop a common ground in facing the global financial crisis.Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this could “perhaps be the one positive result of the global economic crisis and a struggling economy.”
“Of late, Malaysia has become increasingly torn by the very thing which provided our independence and sustained our strength - our diversity.
“Much like the global community, increasing political and economic pressures and occasional self-interest have driven some of us away from the pursuit of mutual understanding and interest,” he said in his speech at the closing dinner of the Regional Eisenhower Fellowships Conference here last night.
Najib said the list of challenges faced by the Government was made even more daunting with the Opposition, which is a critical voice to any productive democracy, still adamant in claiming the majority voice in Parliament through the back door.
“Our system of government, and anyone who serves in it, has come under suspicion and criticism, sometimes of the most offensive sort.
“Perhaps most importantly, there is an entire generation of Malaysians coming of age who know nothing of productive discourse, compromise or win-win solutions,” he said.
He said another ongoing challenge was a frustrated electorate that matured at a faster pace than its government.
“Malaysia is fortunate that the electorate remain willing, within limits, to provide the Government the time to catch up,” he said.
On the economic crisis, he said: “Malaysia must take this opportunity in adversity to further integrate our economies with our most important trade and investment partners.
“We must avoid the temptation to resort to protectionist barriers - the world must remain open for business,” he added.
tunku : if for developed countries, the opposition will work together with it's goverment to overcome any crisis, but here with pakatan, forget about it. they rather see malaysia destroy than to work together with the bn's government.

Jangan haraplah pembangkang menyokong cadangan ni. Mereka pentingkan diri sendiri je, apa2 mereka buat semua untuk mendapat perhatian untuk mendapat sokongan. Mereka bukan peduli sangat negara huru hara ke. Cakap je prihatin dengan nasib rakyat, tapi tak buat apa2 pun, kalau betul prihatin, dari sekarang dah cuba bekerjasama buat macam2, bukan sekadar mengutuk, menjatuhkan dan memburukkan lagi keadaan je macam yang mereka sedang buat sekarang ni.
Macam mana mereka nak bekerjasama dengan kerajaan untuk menghadapi krisis yang kita ada. Mereka lebih ghairah untuk memenangi kerajaan je. Untuk negeri yang mereka dah menang pun tak nampak apa yang mereka dah buat sumbangan sebab sibuk sangat berpolitik, ini kan pula nak bekerjasama dengan kerajaan.
they smack your head when u are down..
giving such high hope that they can unveil a bigger and better funding plan that can save the economy..
if they were given the chances, they first agenda is not about the people, its about to spot check each and every closet for skeleton the previous person in the cabinet have and might be having.. just to make themselves look better.. because in the matter of fact, they are bad already and without making others look bad, they just look the same..
its a sad sad time..
As usual comments from m'sians are always negative including this blogger as well. How do you know the opposition is not going to cooperate during this financial cricise?? Therefore it clearly shows we(M'sians) only support party or personality rather than their ideas or policies. Its shows that the public do not have any good mind or perspective knowledge of their own.
