MALAYSIAN Prime Minister Najib Razak said yesterday that he is confident he can deal with the backlash expected from his plan to dismantle the country's affirmative action, which favours Malays.
He admitted he is putting himself 'on the line' in Umno by rolling back pro-Malay initiatives.
But he said he senses that Malaysians were buying into the New Economic Model (NEM) and other policies unveiled by his administration.
Datuk Seri Najib was speaking at a gala dinner organised by the Foreign Correspondents Association of Singapore at the Fullerton Hotel. He later fielded questions for about an hour.
In his speech, he outlined his 1Malaysia concept and the Government Transformation Programme to improve the civil service.
He also spoke of National Key Result Areas the government wants to focus on, such as reducing crime.
