competitiveness in the frontline," he said.

"We are still making efforts and there are signs that people are appreciative of the government's sincerity in this. They are aware that we are not playing politics," he said.
He said as a responsible government, the BN government would find the best solution and added: "Godwilling, we will continue with this effort."
On his using Facebook and Twitter to get closer to the people, especially those who do not catch the news through the newspapers or television, Najib said times had changed and if one were to still stick to the old methods, they might not be totally suitable anymore.
