Najib Says Clear Majority in Malaysia Election ‘Challenging’

Prime Minister Najib Razak said winning a clear majority in Malaysia’s upcoming general election will be “challenging” and a hung parliament could be detrimental for the Southeast Asian nation.

“We don’t want a hung parliament or something that could spell uncertainty for Malaysia,” Najib told reporters in Kuala Lumpur late yesterday. “That is the worst possible outcome you could have. What’s important is to have a stable and reasonably strong government.”
