I think many people would want a return to a strong, stable and transformative government, that puts people first and focuses on achievements and deliverable, not on political rhetoric. They want the government that can perform, can deliver and can bring real change and of course a peaceful and stable environment. When you are no longer the Prime Minister, you are active in social media as Boss Ku. Your people-friendly approach has earned the support of many people. What have motivated you to make the change? NR: Well, I don’t think there was really a change. I’ve always wanted to engage the people through various media, including social media. But since GE 14, I have more time now to explain to the people our policies and also to clarify some of the wild allegations that made against me. I felt that I was unfairly judged because it’s through a lot of fitnah (slander), as the Malay said, the wild allegation against me, so it was personal desire that motivated me to try to communicate with the people, make them understand the issue better and the real truth so that people will not be misled.

Are you harbouring hopes of making a comeback? NR: As I have said a few times, my priority at the moment is to fully clear my name in court in a transparent way without such things that happened during the Pakatan Harapan government like transferring judges from a civil court with zero criminal experience to replace an existing judge after the hearing of my SRC case started or the LHDN ( Inland Revenue Board) falsifying documents and misusing the law to hit me with a 1.7 billion tax penalty. How about the party election? Are you going to contest? NR: My answer is the same, I ‘m also not sure what the time UMNO elections will be, it could be in a year’s time or two years. We shall see that as much can change during that period. In your opinion, what kind of impact that the young voters would create in the next […]
