He also condemned PR for what he said was its hypocrisy, arguing that the principle of "party-hopping" was propagated by PR.

"They wanted to topple the federal government by stealing 31 members of Parliament from BN. "Please ask Pakatan Rakyat why did they start this subject?

Weren't they the ones that announced that they wanted to establish a government on Sept 16 last time?" Najib pleaded for the people to respect the decision made by the Sultan of Perak.

"Nobody should challenge Tuanku's decision because by doing so, you are insulting the institution of the constitutional monarchy.

"The decision has been made by Tuanku regarding the interpretation of the constitution. We hope all parties will respect Tuanku's decision and not question it."
