PRIME Minister Najib Razak made it personal when he terminated former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Special Action Unit (UTK) service, say Malaysians on Facebook and Twitter.

Calling it a ‘shameful act’ by Putrajaya, social media users say should anything happen to Dr Mahathir now, Najib will simply blame others.

  • One the contrary, should anything untoward happen to Dr M, we hold the PM fully responsible. All the talk about religious values and brotherhood previously by the PM is just empty hot air. Revenge is the order of the day.

  • We should be proud of our PM Najib in cutting down of the Government Administrative cost, In most of the countries usually the Ministers and even PM do not have body guards or an entourage of protective shield in following the ministers or ex- ministers and it is only in Malaysia where it has gone overboard especially with Umnos Ministers leading the bad examples. Najib should portray that he is not petty and grudgeful to Mahatir by showing his sincerity in cancelling his unbelievable heavy entourage of body guards where it is misleading the public that he has lots of enemies or unless he believe that he is the most hated man in Malaysia and needs very heavy protection.

  • People's safety should be a great concern of our leader, more so the safety of our ex-PM. Not one should be made to feel that one is living perilously in this country. It is dreadful.

  • They are petty and shameless because they are idiots, unqualified and undeserving of their jobs, power and everything they have.
