GEORGE TOWN, - The Brand Najib (BN) phenomenon as well as Barisan
Nasional, also BN, are fast transforming the political landscape of the
northern states in peninsular Malaysia now being controlled by Pakatan
Rakyat.
!['BRAND NAJIB' now instead of Barisan Nasional? Is BN so UN-WINNABLE?]()
This can be gauged by the large and enthusiastic turnout of people
whenever Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak goes to Penang and
Kedah.
It was evident again this morning when 20,000 people turned up at Universiti Sains Malaysia here to listen to him as he launched the "Jelajah Janji Ditepati" (Promises Fulfilled Tour) Carnival for Penang where he reminded them about BN's track record, about what it has done for the country and people and what it would do for the people's future.
Granted that many came in organised transport, there were some who came on their own, just to see him and, if possible, shake his hand in the process.
Sixty-five-year old Ariffin Mohd Salleh was one such person. He drove all the way from Sungai Petani in Kedah with his wife, just to greet the prime minister.
And why did he do that? "For me, I believe he is the perfect leader. And he really loves the people," he said as he trudged slowly for more than a kilometre just to go to the carnival site and meet Najib.
Asked whether he was invited by the organisers, he said he was not.
