After 'toppling' the Pakatan govt via Facebook, Najib 'targets' United Nations next

PETALING JAYA: In a sarcastic jab to being blamed for the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government, Datuk Seri Najib Razak (pic) says he didn't know his witty comments on social media was so impactful.

“Turns out I’m the main reason for the collapse of the Pakatan government. I myself didn’t know that, but now I know.

“But, I don’t remember when I went down to the streets to topple the government. Being active on Facebook, can bring down a government? That’s dangerous. Next time, I’ll just play PS4, ” he said in a Facebook post on Wednesday (March 11).

Najib was referring to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who had participated in various public demonstrations in support of Pakatan prior to GE14.

In the same post, Najib also attached a news report by Malay daily Sinar Harian quoting Dr Mahathir as saying that the collapse of the Pakatan government was Najib’s doing.

Dr Mahathir had on Wednesday claimed that it was Najib who was behind the conspiracy to topple the Pakatan government.

Najib, however, did not mince his words, as he ramped up the sarcasm on the same topic in a separate Facebook post shortly after.

“Being on Facebook every day can bring down a government? That’s dangerous. I’m waiting for the release of PS5. When I start playing PS5, the UN (United Nations) could fall, ” he said.

Both posts by Najib had positive reactions by other Facebook users, as their comments echoed Najib’s sarcasm and praised the former prime minister over his witty remarks.

Najib, who amassed a huge following on Facebook, became an unlikely social media sensation following Barisan Nasional’s defeat in GE14.
