New Straits Times discussed Najib's pledge to commence the 1Malaysia Milk Programme for some three million primary school children, saying this will ensure the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.

Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia told the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) - which has disbursed some RM23 billion in study loans since 1997 - to revamp its repayment method to reduce the rising number of defaulters.

Nanyang Siang Pau urged borrowers from PTPTN to pay up as soon as possible in order not to affect the financial position of the fund or the rights of other students.

Sin Chew Daily said the crucial aspect in the economic transformation programme is implementation in a fair and open manner.
