GE13: Najib vows to be PM for all Malaysians

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has promised to be a Prime Minister for all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion, state or political views.

“I love my country and I'm proud of how far we have progressed. And I know that by working together as one nation, our best days are still to come,” he said in the latest entry on his blog www.1Malaysia.com.my.

In the entry titled “Thank You”, the Prime Minister promised that the Barisan Nasional Government would make efforts to ensure any form of extremism and racism would be tackled.

“We will continue to promote moderation among multiracial Malaysians and place great importance on racial harmony and national unity.”

Najib, who is the national coalition chairman, also thanked the voters and everyone who had placed their trust in Barisan to continue governing the country.

In the 13th general election last Sunday, Barisan retained power by securing a simple majority of 133 out of the 222 parliamentary seats.

Najib: I'm PM for all Malaysians

ASSURANCE: We can know each other better through discussions, PM tells Christians

PETALING JAYA: PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has reassured Christians in Malaysia that the government  recognised the needs of their community, amid growing concerns that they were being sidelined.
"I do not want to be a prime minister for only a section of the community, but for all Malay-sians," he said.

"We have, in fact, achieved quite a lot for the Christian community through subtle engagement, away from the glare of publicity."

He said this, among others, could be seen from the government's decision to lift the travel restrictions to Jerusalem recently.

"I believe that God-fearing Christians with strong values are a good thing for Malaysia," he said at a Christmas high tea organised by the Christian Federation of Malaysia on Tuesday.

It was hosted by the Lutheran Church in Malaysia and attended by about 1,000 representatives from churches in the Klang Valley.
