PM: People need to be inclusive in attitude

SELANGAU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday urged all Malaysians to choose inclusiveness and not exclusiveness in the spirit of togetherness under the 1Malaysia ambit.

He said through such an approach, the country would remain strong, enabling the Barisan Nasional (BN) to form a functional government with the mandate given by the people in the recent 13th general election.

“If we are inclusive, whether we are the biggest ethnic group or the minority or smallest, and whether we live in the rural areas or interior, we will feel the spirit of togetherness.

“We must feel that the government we have today is the government for all of us and which will continue to struggle for our lot, while we will also get fair and just considerations under the BN government.”

Najib said this in his speech at a Ngabang Gawai at the Jangit longhouse in Tamin, about 60km from Sibu.
