Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib says Umno needs more team players, not prima donnas. Drawing a parallel from the ongoing FIFA World Cup, which has seen the exit of several favourite teams, he said teams with strong teamwork would reap more successes compared to those with many prima donnas. And referring to the coming 13th general election, the Umno president said that there was danger in having prima donnas in a team because "they might attempt to score own goals". He said this when opening the Pekan Umno division meeting in Pekan.

Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Najib also said that he leaves it to the authorities to take action against blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin. He said the people should not believe the claims made by the blogger who has fled the country to London. Datuk Seri Najib also added that if Raja Petra is funded by the opposition, it means that his statements are politically-motivated.
