New Prime Minister of Malaysia

Datuk Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak was appointed the new Prime Minister of Malaysia on April 3, 2009. Najib is the first son of the second Prime Minister of Malaysia the late Tun Abdul Razak.

Just like his father Datuk Najib is facing tough challenges especially as the world economy is getting more gloomy. In 1970 the Malaysian political scene was in a bad shape. Tun Razak ruled Malaysia professionally because he is a lawyer. But Najib with his vast political experience and more importantly his economics background would certainly be an asset to him to rule Malaysia well just like his late father.
