(1976) Who nominated 22-Year old Najib for Pekan?

'Tun Razak's son for by-election' call


Penang, Mon. - The Kelawai Umno Youth today urged Umno headquarters to nominate Datuk Ahmad Najib, eldest son of the late Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak, for Pekan parliamentary by-election.

"Although Datuk Najib is only 22, he has shown maturity, responsibility and courage during this trying period. We have full confidence in him," said Syed Imran Alsagoff, the Kelawai Umno Youth chairman.

"The late Tun had done a lot in bringing change and progress to Pahang, which was once considered one of the more backward states in Malaysia.

"We are confident that Datuk Najib will carry on with his father's good work if he is given the chance to serve the people.

"Rather than turn to older leaders, we feel the party should have more faith and trust in youth, Datuk Najib will not let the party or nation down."
