Every prime minister has done and contributed his best to the country during his term, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
"What is important is for us to do the best in our time because history will judge us, and I aim to do the best for the people," he said at the 'Evening with the Prime Minister', organised by the Selangor Ex-Assemblymen Association (Mubarak) and state Umno Liaison, Saturday.
“We know about Tunku Abdul Rahman (Malaysia's first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-haj)'s contributions to the country.
"I cannot say I am better than Abdul Razak (Najib's father and Malaysia's second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein), and other leaders who became prime ministers."
Najib said he did not regard himself as the best prime minister compared to the five before him.
He said this in response to Selangor Mubarak head Tan Sri Abu Hassan Omar's remarks in his speech, that Najib was the best prime minister compared to others before him.
Also present at the function were Selangor UMNO Liaison Committee chairman Datuk Seri Noh Omar as well as 2,000 guests.
Najib said he did not have any intention in performing his responsibilities other than to lead the country and people in the best, transparent manner.
He said to this end, the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) initiated by his team had assisted in developing the country's economy.
"Through the ETP and GTP, we have achieved a six per cent growth rate. How many countries can achieve that? We can count on the fingers of one hand, how many countries we have overtaken.
"In fact since becoming prime minister, our Gross National Income (GNI) in five years has increased by 49 per cent, which means our wealth has increased," he said.
