Najib Should Be Given His Chance

Right now, it is all well known that Datuk Seri Najib Razak will assume the PM ship in March. Despite the various accusations dogging him and his better half, well, he is taking over in March 09. A lot of people I know are pessimistic about Najib's capability as a PM and I too share the same doubts.

Among them,

- everywhere that he has been, he has been handed the position on a silver platter
- the dude sure does come up with interesting phrases " Change Your Lifestyle " and latest " Change Your Perception'
- he is a confirmed lalang in politics ;-)
- his other half
- the Mongolian chick thing

However, I state here that he should be given his due to perform his duties as the PM. We gave Pak Lah his chance didn't we ? .. and we know how that opportunity turned out. I think that the PMship will be his greatest and ultimate test. Najib has not really been tested as a politician / statesman, even in his positions, and the PM post will be the litmus test of what he is. Pak Lah became the PM and in the end, it is safe to say, that he has been a disappointment mildly and a disaster bluntly.

Among the reasons for him,

- he has history backing him up ( Tun Razak's legacy are on his shoulders )
- he is UMNO's last chance ( trust me, a lot of Malays are waking up to the current true face of UMNO )
- his education background ( his non Malaysian higher education ) might be useful .. "might"...

He will have this chance come March 2009, and it will be his opportunity to prove himself, provided that his team knows that fact too.

If not ... then we see la how ;-)
