Najib takes over as captain in stormy weather

I congratulate the new Umno President Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak and his "dream team" who were voted into office by party delegates on Wednesday and Thursday.

I am confident that under Najib's stewardship of Umno, the party will be steered back to its past glory.

Najib and his team have only about three years to regain the people's confidence in Barisan Nasional. In politics, three years is extremely short.

I am sure, however, that Najib will be able to do it despite having to weather the storm along the way. Half the battle would be won when Najib rids the party and the Government of corruption.

I am looking forward to it.
