Najib failed to live up to expectations, says MP

Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua has given his thumbs down for Najib Abdul Razak, saying the prime minister failed to stamp his much-publicised “reformist” credentials on the Budget 2012.

Pua also expressed concern over the rise of government debts, which have almost doubled in the last seven years.
