However, the recent unexplained death of a political secretary(working for the opposition party controlling the populous state of Selangor) immediately following a long grilling by officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and within the MACC building itself raises some serious issues about the politically motivated agendas of the ruling Barisan Party. This matter alone has the potential to seriously affect the hard-fought popular support garnered by Najib from his first 100 days. One question- is the photo above accompanying your article a digital composition or a real one..? Has Najib actually succeeded in uniting Badawi and Mahathir together on the podium in a rare display of UMNO unity....?? Then my respect for Najib has risen leaps and bounds and suggests that he will make for a formidable politician indeed.
