Dato Seri Najib will cross the threshold of his 100-day as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia. Many people look at it as the time to assess his leadership.
When I was broached by journalists on the matter, I told them I did not have any specific target for the 100-day in leading the state. My role as a leader started from the first day I was appointed.
This is based on my view that leadership is a continuous process of achieving a specific vision in a specific time-frame. Dato Seri Najib is a man of high calibre and intellectually sound. In the first 100 days, people will remember him for setting up an agenda of change and reform.
This adaptive change is what is expected of him.New leader, new regime. But one must remember that Najib's coming to office was (and is) at a time the country is up against global economic uncertainty.
In addition to that, the political turmoil spearheaded by Pakatan Rakyat. The opposition has gone beyond democratic values, exploiting every possible way to challenge Najib's legitimacy. This includes casting doubt and character-assassination unimaginable to our modern political landscape.
But Dato' Seri Najib has been very cool and patient in face of the relentless onslaught. I think one reason for the opposition's unending attack is the fact that Najib possesses a charismatic appeal.
Thus it is only best to paint him in the darkest shades of hue. They are extremely worried that Najib will halt their dream to form the next government after series of failed attempts.In my conversation with him,
I am certain that Najib is representing the voice of the new generation. He is the hope of the Y Generation. His hope and dream must be well articulated understood and implemented by the cabinet, chief ministers, MPs, ADUNs, and party leaders at all levels.
The 1Malaysia: Rakyat didahulukan, Pencapaian diutamakan must be carried out whole heartedly by all band of leadership. It is time to reflect on our rakyat-centric approach and to find why Najib keeps stressing on the need to emphatize the people's needs.
After all, leadership is not a privilege but a responsibility.
