From his prison cell, former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak expressed relief that many of his once-criticized policies have been effectively implemented by the Madani Government. In a statement, he highlighted the continuation of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), Proton-Geely collaboration, strong China ties, TRX project, Lynas, and the rebranded 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) as Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR). Najib also noted the government’s adoption of a GST-like concept, though he believes retaining the original GST would have been simpler, avoiding current complexities. His words sparked debate, reflecting on his legacy amid ongoing legal battles.
