Instead of his usual recorded televised
message on the eve of National Day celebrations, Prime Minister Najib
Razak addressed the nation “live” this year in the capital Kuala Lumpur
with a promise -- that he will not let Malaysia fail despite the
shrinking currency, The Star online reported.
"We will never allow anyone from within or from outside, [to] simply walk in and steal, ruin or destroy all that we have built so far," he said.
Asking people to use the ballot box to judge the government, the prime minister pleaded for calm so that he and his team could focus on ways to overcome the current challenges.
Present during the address were, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai, Health Minister S. Subramaniam and chief secretary to the government Ali Hamsa.
The celebrations began with hoisting of the Jalur Gemilang (national flag) by Royal Malaysian Navy personnel, accompanied by the singing of the national anthem, Negaraku.
A 14-gun salute was fired by the 41st Battery of the Royal Artillery Regiment.
