Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak - Malaysia Prime Minister in Waiting

That does it.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak son of one of Malaysia's great political icons, Tun Abdul Razak bin Haji Dato' Hussein Al-Haj(March 11, 1922-January 14, 1976) who was the second Prime Minister of Malaysia ruling from 1970 to 1976, is set to become the next Prime Minister of Malaysia after his predecessor Pak Lah steps down next year. This is confirmed by the overwhelming support Datuk Seri Najib received with the 140 nominations he has garnered for the top post in UMNO. His sole contender Ku Li has only received 1 nomination to date.

Datuk Seri Najib's father Tun Razak was the Prime Minister responsible in setting up Barisan Nasional, the ruling coalition of political parties that have stayedin power in Malaysia till today. Tun Razak is also renowned for launching the Malaysian New Economic Policy (MNEP).

With Datuk Seri Najib taking on the role of our nation's top leader next year we look set to a sea of positive changes that will wash out the problems that have plagued us since the last change. Hopefully, the conditions of transparency, anti-corruption, and efficiency introduced by Pak Lah that brought about such problems will be reviewed and redefined to prevent its backlash from continuing into Datuk Seri Najib's tenure as the new Prime Minister of Malaysia.

As a Malaysian I am pleased that stability will once more return to our shores.
