Najib's administration will reflect the people's aspirations
It has been more than a year that I have not updated this blog as I have been a regular blogger to the other blogger spots, ie. Malaysia Today, Malaysiakini, Malaysian Insider, Datuk Abdul Kadir Jasin's Scribe and Rocky's Bru. I have been blogging for years now, but I remain critical of my personal comments across the political divide. I am neither pro UMNO or BN as I dare to criticise some ministers or other political and social issues from the bottom of my heart. Being a grass root politicians behind the scene for more than 5 decades, I have not spared the political antics of both BN leaders as well as those from the opposition. However, I am privileged to walk along the corridor of power but I have not abused my position through my political connections with the former prime ministers and some other ministers.
Today, let me speak from my heart for the man whom I have secretly adored from the time he became the MB of Pahang. That charismatic politician whom I had "hero worshipped" is non other than Najib Tun Razak., our current prime minister who holds the helm of the government and the party in power. It's not easy to understand and love Najib especially when he is in deep thought and his mind is not easily readable. Najib is a great leader at the right time and I believe he will survive in times of crisis just like Tun Mahathir, the former prime minister. However, no political even how good,efficient and dynamic will be spared by his political enemies and critics, as politics is a game of perception. An excellent leader or prime minister will not survive if he has a weak team and playing the wrong game in protecting their own interest at the expense of leader's capability and popularity.
In less than 60 days of Najib's leadership, both in UMNO and the government, he had embarked on some radical changes in UMNO and the government in line with the people's aspiration for a clean and efficient governance. Called it reforms or liberalisations, Najib has steered Malaysia into the next level of our achievement towards the realisation of our vision 2020. Najib is not a authoritarian leader but he values the integrity of a few trusted aides that had been helping him behind the scene. That's the true quality of a great leader, who trusts a few but listens to all Malaysians who will help him to achieve his goals in reshaping Malaysia into a dynamic nation.
I am most attracted to his 1Malaysia concept that had leapfrog into action and vibrates throughout the mind and heart of the people. The ultimate objective of 1Malaysia is to unite the people across the ethnic barrier into a bonded nation full of diversity. IMalaysia concept can only be achieved provided no Malaysians will be marginalised and to be given equal opportunities on merits. Malays and bumiputras after more than 51 years of our independence, should no longer be subsidised but instead strive hard in order to succeed in this competitive world of globalisation.
I know of many Malays who had suceeded overseas without any special privileges or subsidies and their children have taken over their business empire. These are hard working and practical Malays who will serve as role models to the majority of Malays and bumiputras in this blessed country, where we help each other in time of difficulties and calamities.
The true spirit of a Malaysian identity is achievable if only we call ourselves "Malaysians" and not a Malay, Chinese, Indian or Iban. If Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Filippinos can identify themselves as one nationality, why can't Malaysians do the same and get rid of racialism?
Prime Minister Najib had instituted the KPIs in the GLCs and now extended to the cabinet Ministers and senior officers of the Ministries, will serve as a punitive measure for all elected or appointed representatives of the adminstration to pull up their socks and buck up or be removed from office. A top notch prime minister must have a exemplary administrative capable team to implement his vision and provide the best delivery system to the people. The success or failure of the Najib administration will only be translated through the final outcome of the 13th general election.
In the meantime, let us wait and give our trust and confidence to Najib and his cabinet without an aspersion and wild accusations against our leaders, especially the prime minister himself who had been implicated from corruptions to the altantuya murder case. A man is never pronounce guilty until proven in the court of law.That's the principle of law and order in a democratic nation as guaranteed by the Federal Constitution.
