LONDON - Malaysians should take a leaf out of the ongoing political turmoil in Egypt and be aware of the danger of changes that comes in an abrupt manner, says Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
"Change, if improperly managed, will be disastrous for the country," he said.
"While change is good for prosperity and stability, it has to be managed well or else people will suffer because the change did not end up as expected.
"And if that happens, those wanting the changes in the first place will want another change and any uprising will lead to instability.
"Subsequently, such situations will lead to problems such as soaring consumer prices and unemployment that will impact businesses, especially on tourism."
The Prime Minister was speaking to Malaysian journalists after the groundbreaking ceremony of the Battersea Power Station project here yesterday.
In Sepang, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said there was no immediate need to evacuate Malaysian students in Egypt.
