KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIANS should prove their economic strength
despite disparaging remarks made by others, Datuk Seri Najib Razak
said.
'We can show to our neighbours, that although sometimes they
make disparaging remarks about us, that Malaysians can actually
achieve,' the Prime Minister said.
'The greatest achievement is when we can be a developed nation
by 2020,' he said at the 1MCA Medical Foundation fund-raising
dinner on Monday.
Instead of responding to the alleged remarks, Datuk Najib said
the more pressing matter was to focus on achieving the country's
goal.
This is his first public statement about a WikiLeaks report of
diplomatic chatter from Singapore.
Meanwhile, Bernama reports that Singapore said the WikiLeaks
reports of its officials making damaging remarks on friendly
nations would not affect the republic's ties with those
countries.
