Najib message

The BBC's Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur, Liston Siregar, reports, Prime Minister Najib Razak who had delivered a speech to the victory of Barisan Nasional said the need for national reconciliation after tensions during the elections referred to as the most rigorous in the history of Malaysia.
"We must demonstrate to the world that Malaysia has a mature democracy and the decision of the people must be respected," he said.

"To address that possibility, we should be able to garner greater support from the people of Malaysia that they are willing to come to the polling location and vote. Thus, fraudulent efforts could be thwarted, "said Anwar.

Responding to the allegations, deny the Barisan Nasional.

National Front leader, who is also the Prime Minister (PM) Najib Razak Malaysia, even said they were optimistic it would prevail and restore its position as the country's majority in parliament.

However, so far the authorities often use his position to boost their popularity, including by making a number of populist policies, such as the budget allocated to low-income and other financial incentives.

"There will be no hatred or defamation. Our interest is to govern justly, "said Anwar.

Opposition parties also plan to introduce and implement laws and policies that help all citizens of Malaysia without any discrimination, whether racial or political affiliation.

"We want a policy that gives confidence to all parties. More than half a century after independence, we do not want a policy that marginalize the poor Malays, Chinese ethnic discrimination, or ignoring ethnic Indians, "said Anwar.
