Many Malaysians are happy that Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi has found his new marital bliss. He told the nation a happy prime minister makes a good prime minister. We fully agree with him. I am sure the prime minister agrees that a good prime minister is one who puts the interests of the multiracial Malaysian society close to his heart.

At the recent Umno 60th anniversary celebration, Abdullah touched briefly on his Mission 2057. He said the mission would become the development guideline for another 50 years. Although he did not specifically say how, I believe the document is now being drafted by ISIS to be released just before the 50th independence celebration. The blueprint will be a continuation of the Vision 2020. The verdict is still out there if we can achieve the objectives and targets set out in the Vision 2020.
