AMPANG - Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says it was time to change the political landscape of the country to curb corruption and to ensure those irresponsible do not run the country as if it is their "father's".

He said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had called for nationwide emergency for several months, without any transparency. "Now he says he was the best prime minister."

"I urge all of you to save this country. This mean it involves the rakyat," he said as the nation votes on Nov 19.

Anwar further said people have been coming forward in rain and shine to show PH support and to save the country.

He further said DAP has been criticised repeatedly but have not asked for any position from him. "But Muhyiddin had appointed almost 70 ministers (and deputy ministers)."

Anwar further spoke on cost of living as prices of food items increase but "70 ministers with RM70,000 salary each."

He further said Malaysia should be united. "I am a Chinese, Gobind Singh is a Singh but we are together to build a strong Malaysia.

"But our opposition say the Chinese want power. If we are communist, Hadi Awang has hugged Lim Guan Eng, Lim Kit Siang."

He further said the country's premier will be a Malay but "we want a capable and intellectual Malay. So that we are rescpected worldwide."

10.35pm - DAP's heavyweight Gobind Singh Deo called on voters to show their power through votes.
