LONDON, June 6 (Bernama) -- "Take good care of our Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) so that he can continue to lead the country," was Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's request to Jeanne Abdullah, who will wed Abdullah on Saturday.
Describing the news of Abdullah remarrying as long-awaited by all Malaysians, Najib said that he and the Cabinet were of the view that the decision by Abdullah was appropriate as the responsibilities of a nation's leader were very heavy and needed the support of a wife.
"It is a complement to his life, which is hoped will bring him much happiness and give him added strength in carrying out his duties," he told reporters after visiting the Malaysia Week carnival in Covent Garden here today.
Najib was asked to comment on the announcement about their wedding scheduled to take place at the Prime Minister's official residence Seri Perdana in Putrajaya on Saturday.
Abdullah's wife, Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, died on Oct 20 2005 after a long battle with breast cancer.
Najib arrived here on Monday in conjunction with the 2007 Malaysia Week celebrations here and is scheduled to leave for home tonight.
Meanwhile, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said it was great news for all Malaysians and would put an end to rumours spread about it recently.
"Alhamdulillah (thank God), we are very happy our Prime Minister has found a soul mate. I pray for his happiness and good health to continue leading the nation," he told reporters.
tunku : najib should have said "Take good care of our Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) so that he can retire". actually is good for pak lah to finish his term and after that retire and spend the rest of his life with "Datin Seri" Jeanne Abdullah peacefully.and for rais's comment, it was not rumours ok, it was true after all.SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU TAPI LAMA
