Former premier and Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamed today said his call for Malays to work hard and prove their mettle continues to remains relevant through the current Prime Minister and Umno president Najib Abdul Razak. He commended Najib's policy speech at the opening of the party's annual general meeting today, saying it is a timely reminder to the Malays on the importance of earning their keep. After the AGM's opening ceremony, Mahathir said, "The Malays must realise where they stand and that they need to work hard to be successful... I have said this before when I was president, and Najib is reinforcing this." In the meantime, former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (far left in photo) also gave the thumbs up for his successor, saying Najib's policy speech cleared the confusion over the long-debated special position of the Malays.
