BN Government Not An Irresponsible Populist Government, Says Najib

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN) government is not an irresponsible populist government, but instead, is very wise in policy making and government spending, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The prime minister said in policy making and government spending, the BN government never had any intention to cause significant financial damage, let alone bankruptcy, to the country.

"We have and will always be honest and straightforward with the people about the things we can and cannot do. However, certain quarters find it easy to just promise the moon, the stars and the world to the people without thinking of the consequences."

Najib said this when launching the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) Annual Report 2011 at Angkasapuri here tonight.

The launch was also aired live on RTM 1.

The prime minister said the BN was not afraid to compete in a free and competitive market as the government was democratically formed through free and fair elections.

"We have full confidence in the wisdom of the people to choose and make the right decision.

"They can tell the difference between real and fake diamonds. We believe that the people will choose a government with proven track record and which puts the interests of the people above anything else," he said.

Najib said the government had also taken various measures to turn Malaysia into a more democratic country by abolishing the Internal Security Act (ISA), Restricted Residence Act and Banishment Act, as well as lifting three Emergency proclamations.

Besides these, drafting the Peaceful Assembly Act to protect the people's right to peaceful assembly and speech as guaranteed under the Federal Constitution, amending the Universities and University Colleges Act to recognise the constitutional right of students to join political bodies, and amending the Printing Presses and Publications Act to abolish the need for annual licence renewal.

Najib said to ensure that the country would achieve the status of a fully-developed nation in another eight years, it needed an efficient driver that could combine the functions of all existing factors to ensure that the vehicle would reach the desired destination safely.

"Let's not experiment to change drivers midway, from the one proven capable to someone who is dubious and dangerous," he said.

Najib also reminded the people "not the make the wrong choice and to be careful with storytellers".

"These people are very good at making promises but not at keeping them. Their rhetorical theory and practice are not consistent.

"So, be wary with the music played by the piper who appears beautiful but in reality, full of deception," he added.

Dressing for success at your job interview

Have you got a job interview coming up and you're not quite sure what to wear?

Here are some tips to help you achieve a professional, polished look.

Stay Away From Scents:

Many offices now have a scent-free policy prohibiting workers and even visitors from wearing perfumes, colognes, and very odorous deodorants. Even if they don't, you should refrain from wearing scents when interviewing. This goes for men and women. Many people are irritated by odours and others might have mental associations with certain odours. A perfume can quickly remind them of someone they dislike. You want to be a blank slate, where only what you have to say, your experience, and your skills do the talking for you.

Dress Comfortably:

You don't want to look uncomfortable and ill at ease in what you're wearing. That being said, you should have a polished professional look. You've heard the expression "Dress for the job you want to do." You should go one step further. You should dress for the job that you want, but a touch more dressy.

A good standard for a management job interview is a nice traditional dark suit, with a clean, pressed dress shirt and co-ordinating tie. Remember to wear comfortable dress shoes with dark dress socks. If you don't wear suits often, try on your outfit a few days in advance to make sure everything still fits from the last time you wore it.

For women, the same standard applies. Remember that you want to project a professional image. A good standard to go by is a nice fitted suit jacket in a neutral color like navy with either matching pants or skirt with an unfussy neutral blouse. Your shoes should be classic and just blend into your outfit. Don't forget plain pantyhose.

It's important to be comfortable as this helps you look confident and successful.

Don't Stick Out:

Interviews aren't usually the time to make a loud, personal fashion statement. Of course, you can certainly inject your own flair and style into your outfit. And for some job interviews in the creative fields, flair is a great thing. But make sure it isn't inappropriate. Get a friend's advice if you aren't sure.

Sometimes we get used to wearing a certain style and we don't realize that perhaps, the trend has passed. It's important to stick with the basics and to be professional. The whole point of the interview is to get across how qualified you are, how your skills will be a great fit for the company you are applying for. Don't give them anything to remember you by but your content.

When interviewing, wear clothes that are or appear new. Women shouldn't wear clothes that show cleavage, skirts that are cut too short, see-through tops, or very high-heeled shoes.

Of course, we want to look our best at an interview. Women should refrain from wearing loud makeup. Everything should blend in nicely and your makeup should not be so dramatic that it distracts your interviewer.

Hygiene:

Remember to look and smell nice to be around. Enough said.
