"I Want To Hand Over A Strong Government And Party" - PM

He said UMNO members must remain loyal and not criticise the current party leadership despite having differences of opinion.

TUMPAT: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today he would hand over a strong government and party to his successor to carry on with the legacy of the leaders before him (the successor).

However, to realise this, the UMNO president said, UMNO members must remain loyal and not criticise the current party leadership despite having differences of opinion.

"Our struggle goes beyond leaders. When I retire, I want to hand over a strong government and party. I will ask my successor to take the government and party to greater heights than they were during my administration," he said.

The Prime Minister was addressing a 'Leader with the People' session and opening the Tumpat UMNO Division delegates meeting at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kubang Batang here.

Najib said it was for this reason that he held former Prime Minister and his predecessor Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in high regard and appreciated the latter's request to him to take Malaysia to greater heights than it was during his (Abdullah's) administration.
