Leaders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have congratulated Prime Minister Najib Mohammad bin Abdulrazak and his party, the Barisan Nasional, for their resounding victory in the recently-held national elections in Malaysia last May 5.
“I congratulate you and your party on your success at the general election and wish you well, as you take your country forward,” Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim of the MILF said in a telephone interview Monday evening.
He noted that the democratic process is alive and well in Malaysia.
“This is a historic opportunity for the people of Malaysia to come together to build a better future,” Murad stressed further.
Murad also described the success of Najib’s political party as a very strong shot in the arm that invigorates the Philippine-MILF peace process which Malaysia has been facilitating since 2001.
The Malaysian Election Commission said Prime Minister Najib Razak's Barisan Nasional (BN; National Front) coalition won 133 of the 222 in parliamentary seats.
The opposition won 89 seats, up from 82, in Sunday's election.
Voters - some 80% of whom cast ballots - had been faced with returning the ruling coalition or choosing Mr. Anwar's untested three-party alliance, Pakatan Rakyat.
In the 2008 polls, the BN lost its two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time - something it failed to regain in these elections.
As the result was confirmed, Najib, 59, urged all Malaysians to accept his coalition's victory but acknowledged there is work ahead.
On Monday, a day after the Barisan victory, Najib was sworn in for a second term as prime minister by Malaysia's king.
