Najib Abdul Razak is hoping to gain sympathy by portraying himself as being oppressed by the current administration, according to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.<br /><br />However, Mahathir pointed out that the Najib administration was more oppressive, citing the MACC's orange-lock up outfit as an example.<br /><br />"He is looking for sympathy. He claims to be oppressed but when he was prime minister, others had to don the orange outfit even before being charged.<br /><br />"(Sabah Chief Minister) Shafie Apdal was not charged yet but had to wear the orange shirt. Others had to wear it too, but we gave leniency to him (Najib).<br /><br />"He was charged months ago, (but) he is free (from imprisonment, but) creates all sorts of stories to get support," he told reporters in Cameron Highlands today.
