Do you think Najib Razak's economic policies were good?

[lofu]

Honestly he made alot of progressive changes as well as the MRT. 1mdb and not cleaning up political corruptions and his own internal corruptions really undo everything

Najib is the best prime minister in term of economic development but he trust Jho Low. that is his mistake.

[apikipa]

He is idealist and person that have a vision of Malaysian economy.

I think Najib managed malaysia very well during that time, the only unfortunate thing is the 1mdb fiasco

[IMpossible]

He lets the cash always move by collecting GST Tax and return to rakyat by increasing "bantuan" what a brilliant!!! economy boost without government need to expand fund.... not like current PMX which are no idea to boost the economy instead increase the tax rates

[brownyadam]

Najib era is the best. Especially for East Malaysia or Sarawak. Worst era is Mahathir where he neglected and rarely visit the east and cancelled pan borneo project.

Should comment and compare also on EPF, ASB and TH, which are close to the people at heart. I have lost thousands of RMs after PH took over the government.

despite controversial over 1mdb, & src but najib taking good care of malaysian people with 1 malaysia, new economic policy & gst without failure than current govermetnt adminstration

[wolger]

The best PM ever. He will make a comeback like Trump.

[ninakhan]

Corruption is Corruption. Period. Citizens have a huge debt to pay off because someone stole the money.

There is a theory that the tenure of a Prime Minister reflects the successes or failures of their predecessors. Currently, Malaysia is still recovering from the failed government led by former Prime Minister Najib Razak.

From bapa transformasi to bapa korupsi

[zaxzaman]

The worst PM ever. Now the nation is still having to pay for his blunder in 1mdb. Stop glorifying a criminal. I pray that he rot in jail.

One of the positives about malaysian politics is the country have 4 prime minister in 5 years after najib with peaceful transitions. There were no soldiers on the street like in some other asean countries.

[agazaman]

I miss the moment during najib razak era

[coolcontrast]

Honestly i think he's a naive and good guy, but tends to be overpowered by the wife and easily influenced by bad people surrounding him (jho low), so he just follows without thinking over the repercussions. Otherwise policies that he made were quite good Kedai Rakyat 1 Malaysia, Klinik Rakyat 1 Malaysia, MRT, Pan Borneo Highway, UTC, RTC and even the GST were beneficial policies. The scandal tarnished all the good he did and definitely taken advantage by the opposition then to highlight it.

masa tu minyak naik 20sen, pihak pembangkang, macam dah nak mati sangat. ada yg berguling atas jalan, cakap kerajaan Zalim, najib pencurik la.

Tapi bila puak ni dh jadi kerajaan, skang bila diesel naik rm1.20 boleh pulak dorang rilek jer. pastu cakap "negara lain lagi mahal.
dulu janji "esok minyak turun".

semoga Allah berikan dan kesihatan yg baik dan balasan syurga atas sumbangan bossku kpd negara.
