There's good economic progress in Malaysia. People have a lot to look forward to.

Malaysia is a country unlike any other: Full of promise and fragility. Its history, cultural and religious diversity make it a rich, compelling and surprising land.

Over the past months and years, divisions have opened up in Malaysian society. Now it is time for all of us, in government and beyond, to put the bitterness behind us.

The vast majority of Malaysians are sensible people; they're moderates, they want peace, they want harmonious race relations at home. They look for national unity.

We can transform the government and the economy, as well as democracy, in Malaysia.

I think, from the very beginning, I always knew that I needed to get out of Malaysia and do my thing somewhere else.

It so happens, in Malaysia, the people who are in a way not doing as well constitute the majority of the people - the Bumiputeras.

Together we will act to bring about national reconciliation, secure Malaysia's economic future, and build a stronger, more harmonious society.

In Indonesia, Malaysia, wherever Muslims are living, they don't want to live in harmony.

My priority is to ensure peace and harmony in Malaysia. That is uppermost in my mind.
