Earlier report
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who has qualified to stand for election as Umno president with 59 nominations, has unveiled his manifesto for the Umno presidency, denoucing recent allegations made against him and vowing to defend the supremacy of the Malay raceHis promises include:
* Defending till the last drop of his blood the supremacy of the Malay race.
* Setting up a Council of Presidential Advisors to be made up of Umno elders and past prime ministers
* Ensuring that his family won’t become involved in business or interfere in the administration of the country, and
* Carrying out his responsibilities without any influence from other countries
With the latest number of nominations he has garnered, Najib is not expected to be challenged for the post to be vacated by Prime Mninister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi next March.
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, his only contender, has yet to receive a single vote.
Acknowledging that the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition did poorly in the March 2008 general election, Najib gave a warning that he would use all means to destroy elements that threatened the country’s stability and peace.
In what is seen as a warning to the Pakatan Rakyat, led by Oppositon leader Anwar Ibrahim, which swept to power in five states (Kedah, Perak, Selangor, the Federal Territory and Penang) after the recent March 8 general election. Najib said:
“I will also not hesitate to use all means to destroy elements that can threaten the stability and peace of the country.”
On recent allegations made against him – that he had performed some Hindu rituals (see doctored pic of Najib here) - he said: “I swear in the name of God that I am a faithful Muslim” .
As for the allegation linking him with the murder case of Altantuya, he said:
“I once again swear in the name of God that I never knew her.
"I am ready to face any court to clear my name which those who are envious of my achievements are trying their best to tarnish…”
He also denied that his SMS communication with Muhammad Shafee Abdullah was in any way an abuse of power and that he wasinvolved in the Eurocopter scandal.
The contract went through due process and procedures, he said.
The defence ministry accepted the decision and agreement from the ministry of finance was obtained in the selection of the Eurocopter tender. - Extracts from Malaysiakini.

Najib's promises can we take them for real??
Padan muka Ku Li, dulu bukan main bising lagi memaksa Pak Lah untuk berundur, macam diri sendiri hebat sangat. Sekali takda pencalonan pun untuk dia sampai sekarang. Dia ingat sokongan orang dekat dia kuat ke? Sokongan terhadap Pak Lah lebih hebat berbanding sokongan orang terhadap dia sendiri, lupa diri tu.
Lepas satu, satu kena attack, mula2 dulu Pak Lah yang kena, sekarang dah tukar fokus pulak ke. Siapa punya kerja agaknya ni.
