"Happiness in the FELDA communities nationwide can be regarded as a successful transformation in the annals of our history. From the time before they (settlers) joined (the FELDA land schemes), after they joined and the situation now...the transformation has been crystal clear...and they are able to enjoy a better life," he said.

Evaluate wisely between transformation and reformation: Najib

KUCHING (April 27, 2013): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak today advised the people to make a wise evaluation between the transformation brought about by the government and the reformation propagated by the Opposition.

Over the past four years, the Barisan Nasional (BN) government had persistently brought about a comprehensive transformation in the government, economic, political and social spheres, he said when addressing about 6,000 people at the Kampung Semeba community hall in Jalan Stephen Yong, here.

Najib said transformation was better than reformation because the former would make Malaysia a developed nation by 2020 while the latter did not have a clear objective and was confined to making one individual the prime minister, even if the people had to be dragged into street demonstrations.

"Transformation does not stand for huge numbers alone. I do not want anyone to say that he or she did not benefit from the government transformation. It is for this reason that from the outset, it had been determined that transformation must have an impact on and benefit the ordinary people.

"When we talk of transformation, it is the generation of national wealth for the people's benefit," he said.
