1. It is difficult to wish this extraordinary gentleman a Happy Birthday while he remains behind bars, when in past decades, I had the privilege of wishing him personally, whether at Langgak Duta, Sri Satria, or Sri Perdana.
2. As he approaches three years in detention, still enduring thousands of hours in the halls of justice, the people are beginning to see, more clearly than ever, the calm resolve and intellectual patriotism that define his character.
3. He has never called his supporters to the streets. He has never urged for riots or chaos in his name. He has not ridiculed nor desecrated those currently in government, some of whom were once his own allies, despite their tireless efforts to frustrate his path to justice.
4. That, perhaps, is the mark of a man raised with integrity, shaped by noble values, and anchored in a distinguished family legacy, unlike the pariahs who sully the national stage with bitterness and vengeance.
5. Seven years have passed since his abrupt departure from office and is ample time for Malaysians to witness, firsthand, and to judge the competence (or lack thereof) of the four Prime Ministers who have followed.
6. In comparison, Najib’s era stands out for its delivery of promises, its focus on rising prosperity, its protection of rakyat welfare, and for elevating Malaysia’s image on the world stage.
7. As Malaysia’s 6th Prime Minister, his legacy includes bold national transformation programs, ambitious infrastructure development, and a vision for economic progress and global recognition. Whether admired for his policies or remembered for his unwavering dedication to Barisan Nasional, Dato’ Sri Najib’s impact continues to be deeply felt across the nation.
8. By all fair measure, Dato’ Sri Najib is, after his father Tun Abdul Razak the finest Prime Minister Malaysia has known.
9. Time will tell whether true justice will be returned to him, and whether our nation’s politics will find its correction.
10. Until then, we say this with unwavering faith:
11. Keep With The Struggle And Hold Strongly To Your Faith, Sir.
12. Happy Birthday, Bossku.
