MY Najib : BN is strong even without PAS

A few weeks ago, Najib hinted someone in PAS has initiated unity talk for UMNO. PAS is an element party in Pakatan Rakyat (opposition party) while UMNO is an element in Barisan National (party in power). There was saying that Najib purposely want to shake the unity in Pakatan. However, after some long haul, finally Pakatan had a meeting and unitely agree will NOT conduct unity talk with Barisan.

After hearing this latest news, Najib responded that even without involvement from other parties, Barisan will continue to be strong managing the whole country.

Saying this is as if someone has doubted Barisan's capability without the unity from PAS, this implication alone is not a good EQ statement. What should have been said is

" ... It doesn't matter. We are always open to any discussion that can lead to the benefit for this country. Whoever want to join us to make a bigger and better change, we are welcome too!"

This way, it shows how 'open' and 'transparent' they are while continue to hint that people unhappy with this decision in PAS can join them, which may continue to split PAS internal teams up.
