NAJIB Razak started his visit to Pekan today by participating in a porridge-cooking activity with supporters in front of his house here.

He joined some 200 supporters in front of Seri Kenangan and helped cook bubur lambuk, a much sought-after broth during the fasting month.

Many of those present were his staunch Umno division supporters, who greeted him warmly as he mingled with them.

Najib and Rosmah returned to Pekan this morning, marking the couple’s first visit to Pekan since Barisan Nasional’s defeat on May 9.

“The people want me to come back.

“They want to show their appreciation, and continue to support me for all the things I have done. They want me to continue serving them as an MP. So I’m glad to be back,” Najib told reporters earlier after he arrived.

He, however, declined further questions before going into his Seri Kenangan residence.

Najib, who has been the MP for Pekan since 1976, was dressed in a dark blue shirt, while Rosmah was dressed in a flowery yellow baju kurung and scarf.

Rosmah was overheard telling supports and sympathisers not to cry, as it was “going to be alright”. – May 20, 2018.
