Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has congratulated Donald Trump on being elected as the 45th United States (US) President, based on a report from New Straits Times.

“Mr Trump’s success shows that politicians should never take voters for granted. Opinion polls, and established political figures, all underestimated the strength of his support.” said Najib.

He added that the president-elect’s appeal to Americans who have been left behind – those who want to see their government more focused on their interests and welfare, and less embroiled in foreign interventions that proved to be against US interests and had won Trump the White House.

The prime minister stated that in 2014, the US and Malaysia had raised their relationship to a complete partnership, and are firm allies in the worldwide fight against terrorism and extremism. “We look forward to continuing this partnership under President-elect Trump. I congratulate him on this extraordinary victory, and look forward to meeting him again soon,”
