Bagi Najib Masa

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak perlu diberi peluang serta ruang secukupnya bagi menyelesaikan segala masalah tertangguh dalam hubungan dua hala Malaysia dan Singapura dalam membawa manfaat  kepada negara untuk tempoh jangka masa panjang.

Sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib sudah pasti mempunyai kebijaksanaan dalam membuat rundingan dengan Singapura yang selama ini, gagal dilakukan pemimpin terdahulu termasuk Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Kenapa perlu beri tekanan kepada Perdana Menteri, saya yakin beliau tahu apa yang dilakukan dan ia dibuktikan dengan kenyataan segera bahawa kerajaan akan mengkaji pembinaan jambatan sebaik mendapat titah Sultan Johor, Sabtu lalu.

ZUBAIDAH ABU BAKAR: Survival rests on infusing new blood

From the NST:

HAVE the Umno grassroots come to terms with the reality that the 62-year-old party needs new blood or risks disengaging from the masses?
The March 8 general election was an eye-opener, at least as reflected in the present trend of nominations for senior party positions where a significant number of younger leaders are taking the lead.

The “political tsunami” may have jolted a large segment of Umno’s three million members into seeing that the party is getting “too old to play its old tune”.

This is constructive and, hopefully, the younger leaders who obtained more nominations than the older ones will be successful in their quests. Read more
