Najib Razak, GE14 and the Number 11

The Election Commission announced today that polling for the 14th general election will be held on a Wednesday, May 09. Nominations will be on Saturday, April 28. 

This provides for an 11-day campaigning period. 

Najib Razak's favorite number (11) is being highlighted again. 

Even when Parliament was dissolved on April 07 or 7/4 – when you add up the two numbers, you get an 11. 

The number 11 supposedly carries a special meaning for Najib (left) – and it has come up, marking important events in his life. 

His father, former prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein, was born on March 11, 1922. 

His mother Rahah Mohd Noah was born on June 11, 1933. 

Najib was also Pahang’s 11th menteri besar, serving there from 1982 to 1986. 

UMNO, which Najib leads, was founded on May 11, 1946. 

Additionally, the 14th general election will be his 11th election.

[Note: A total of 14.9 million registered voters will be eligible to take part in both parliamentary and state polls – taking place simultaneously in all states except for Sarawak]. 

Did you know that Saint Augustine had declared that “the number 11 is the blazon of sin”? 

I can recall reading somewhere that eleven is the sign of excess, extravagance and exaggeration. 

Hmmm, all this is very revealing!
