A Day to Remember, But For Wrong Reason

It's confirm! 30 minutes later, we will have our new PM. Good or Bad, who knows...

BBC News:

Mr Najib is expected to take over as prime minister on Friday. He has described allegations concerning the murder of a Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu, as "malicious baseless lies". Two policemen who used to be in his protection team are on trial for the killing of the 28-year-old, while one of Mr Najib's associates admitted having an affair with the woman.

Taipei Times:

Najib has repeatedly denied opposition allegations connecting him to the 2006 slaying of the mistress of a close aide whose body was blown up with explosives.

Telegraph:

It predicts that Mr Najib's main tactic for rebuilding the government's authority will be attacking or even persecuting the opposition. "I think the focal point is on limiting the opposition and their ability to organise," she said. "The other tactic is intimidation."

Daily Express:

But the carefully planned transition hit a snag when all 81 opposition politicians in parliament sent a joint petition to the king asking him to delay Deputy PM Najib Razak's swearing-in until he has been cleared of allegations of corruption and involvement in the murder of a young Mongolian woman.

The opposition has repeatedly accused Najib of corruption in a deal to buy French submarines when he was defence minister. It has also alleged that he was linked to the killing of the Mongolian mistress of Najib's close former aide. Najib has labelled the allegations as "malicious lies".

He also faces a belligerent opposition, which accuses him of corruption in a deal to buy French submarines when he was defense minister. It has also alleged he was linked to the killing of a Mongolian woman, who was the estranged lover of a close friend.

Bangkok Post:

However, analysts say that before Najib can begin to tackle these issues, he must first clear the air over opposition allegations connecting him to the 2006 slaying of the mistress of his close aide -- a Mongolian woman whose body was blown up with military-grade explosives. He has also angrily rejected allegations of corruption, and that his administration will adopt hardline tactics including detention of its opponents under tough internal security laws.
