KUALA LUMPUR, May 7 – Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has asked for the people’s support as the newly elected government seeks to build a better nation.
“In the spirit of humility, I ask for your support as we seek to build a better nation. It is my great honour to serve the people once more,” said the prime minister in his Twitter post.

Najib has been receiving congratulatory tweets, the latest was from United States Ambassador to Malaysia Datuk Paul W.Jones.
“Congratulations @NajibRazak on being sworn in as PM. We look forward to further expanding US-MY ties,” Jones tweeted.
