PM says UMNO is Islamic


The Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said Umno is truly an Islamic party although it does not use the 'Islamic label' in championing the cause of Islam and the country as quoted by Malaysiakini.He said Umno had actually looked after and raised the living standards of the Muslims by eradicating poverty through various government programmes especially the Felda land schemes. He questioned the Felda settlers "In Islam, poverty is akin to sacrilege and for the past 53 years, Umno had strived to eradicate poverty among the Muslims by opening Felda land schemes. Is this not demanded by Islam?" he said when attending a breaking of the fast at Felda Teloi Timor today.
Is he justifying that making money in whatever way is the right thing to do? Thus corruption is an accepted culture in Malaysia! Interesting thought.
He lamented that it was my late father (Abdul Razak) who had set up Felda. He used to walk with his walking stick and wore the bush jacket, walking hundreds of miles purely to give land and eradicate poverty," he said. Wow... the PM is still living on his father’s glory!
