In politics, what is important is perception, not reality and this is exploited by the Opposition. Even the truth is always denied as they know that politics is all about perception and not about reality and truth. It is for us to show we are better, more effective and better understand the rakyat's aspirations so that the sentiments are more towards us. - Prime Minister Najib Razak
Najib is right in stating that politics is about the perception of the people and not reality but he was wrong in saying the Opposition is exploiting this notion. Najib should commend the Opposition for being able to turn perceptions into realities and for having the smarts to play the political game.
