PAKATAN RAKYAT CANNOT GOVERN COUNTRY BECAUSE OF CONFLICTING IDEOLOGIES - NAJIB

BUKIT MERTAJAM, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- Pakatan Rakyat would not be able to govern the country smoothly and create political stability due to its components' conflicting political ideologies, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said here Sunday.

"We have said it from the beginning that the opposition pact is actually fragile while it tries to topple the Barisan Nasional (BN). It is just an electoral pact and not a solid pact to be an alternative to BN," the deputy prime minister told reporters after visiting Rumah Pahang in Taman Semilang, here today.

As such, he said, voters in the Permatang Pauh parliamentary constituency must realise that Pakatan Rakyat component parties were not on the same wavelength with regards to major policies, besides having different ideologies.

Najib was referring to PAS' aim of establishing an Islamic state which could work with DAP, while the latter had rejected the idea outright.
