没有偏见，只有感受

阿都拉拜相和纳吉拜相的差别



308至今写了太多政治评论和分析文章，腻了。今天「去政治化」，不写政治稿件，这篇不是严肃的撰文。

5年5个月又3天前的2003年10月31日，与2009年4月3日一样。我见证了两场首相移交职权仪式，也应验「RAHMAN」首相传承预言。

2003年10月的最后1天，马哈迪卸下担任22年的首相职，将棒子交给第5任首相阿都拉。

2009年4月愚人节之后的第2天，面对逼宫压力下的阿都拉将职权交给第6任首相纳吉。他带着两个「敦」和珍阿都拉离开首相署。虽然有些遗憾，但也不枉此行。

阿都拉执政期间写下三章历史，即国阵最辉煌战绩（2004年大选，夺下91%国会议席）、国阵最悲惨战绩（2008年大选，丢失5州政权和国会2/3优势），以及成为任期最短的首相（5年5个月2天）。

4月3日的职权移交在记者们都熟悉不过的布城首相署进行，这也是首相署第二次举行换主子仪式。我不断逼自己回忆2003年那场交棒细节，以比较两场的差别。

第一次和第二次的主角共3人，即马哈迪和阿都拉，以及阿都拉和纳吉。两场的交棒，记者们都不得进入5楼受下岗办公室，唯有官方《马新社》可其他电视台获准进入拍摄画面。

阿都拉伉俪穿着橘色的马来套装，有别2003年他和马哈迪的纯黑色马来服装，至于新任主人纳吉与妻子罗斯玛则以桃红和粉红色装束为主题。至于现场的主办单位男女官员都穿上紫色峇迪服装，负责招待出席欢送会的嘉宾。



珍姐以惯常的朴素踏实又高雅装扮离开权力中心，而罗姑则是绝对华丽和珠宝型的第一夫人。顶着炎热的太阳，一席浓妆加上同色系的高跟鞋，罗姑将平时蘑菇式的头发束起，少了平时的傲气，唯其霸气和贵气依然镇压全场，包括珍姐。

与恩顿同属低调的 珍姐全程面带招牌式微笑，缓步离开首相署，在阿都拉身边的她，没有流露出任何的不舍。

两人步伐轻盈的步上车牌WCH13的普通将相座驾离开，那一刻的阿都拉不只是否为卸下了这5年的沉重包袱和近期的职责，而松一口气？！

虽然这天比预期的早，也不是阿都拉想要，他希望在2010年6月。无奈党内不满和元老压力，唯有接受时不予我的政治现实。



相对的，这天却是纳吉引颈长盼，期待多时的日子，无法在幸运号码11日宣誓就职也无所谓。若不是308海啸，纳吉不会这么快陪同阿都拉踏上欢送的红地毯。

虽然欢送仪式4时正才开始，记者们早在3点前已经聚集在1楼大厅等待阿都拉和纳吉的出现。

现场没有强烈的伤感或不舍，大家看来轻松谈笑，焦点不是缅怀阿都拉，而是纳吉上位后的挑战。2003年同行们的话题环绕在马哈迪，并非上位的阿都拉。



这与马哈迪交棒气氛不同，当时现场弥漫的是沉重与哀愁，出席饯别的官员远远超越2009年的这场。

毕竟马哈迪在位22年的主仆情感，不是5年任期的阿都拉所能取代。马哈迪的领导方式、脾气、性格、奖赏分明，以及待人处事都与阿都拉相差甚远。

或许情感、客观、气氛和天气因素所致，到场欢送阿都拉的公务员没有太多脸部表情的变化，更像例行公事般的列队。



看见领导经过时，或配合欢呼数声，或拿出相机或手机按下快门，或伸出右手最后一次感受阿都拉的柔软且丰厚的手掌。

可能这与官员们经过两个小时曝晒在烈日下恭候已久有关。只有正副部长、部门秘书长和总监，以及其他高级官员可在1楼的冷气大厅内等候。

我和部分记者们在大厅外，与官员们一起等待阿都拉的到来。

现场释放最多不舍之情的是，跟随阿都拉5年的新闻秘书张爱华。他眼眶泛红，流过泪的痕迹非常明显，主仆之情流露无遗。

送走阿都拉后，我们没有太多言语，拥抱是最好的话语，拍拍他的肩膀，祝福打算修读博士的他前程似锦，由衷感激他对记者的真。

与我一起采访的同事彭雪琴在她的采访手记，即2009年交棒这一刻，她写道：

阿都拉走入历史记载中。有人说，因为他，大马民主开了一道窗；也有人说，因为他，国阵差一点走入历史。是非功过交由历史评价。

此时此刻，新人纳吉正翻开他的史册，准备为大首相历史写下新篇章。

这会是怎样的历史？天知道！我不知道？



Najib's Maiden Speech As Prime Minister

KUALA LUMPUR, April 3  The following is the full text of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razakˇs maiden speech as prime minister, which was delivered over TV tonight:

¨On behalf of all Malaysians, I would like to thank Yang Berbahagia Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for his 31 years of exemplary public service to our country, his commitment to strengthening the institutions and fabric of our democracy and for his graceful example as our leader.

¨I am grateful to Yang Berbahagia Tun for his confidence in proposing my name as prime minister to Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and I am honoured that His Majesty has consented to my appointment with this morningˇs swearing-in ceremony. I feel a deep sense of humility at the opportunity to serve as your Prime Minister at an important time in our nationˇs history.

¨My life has been dedicated to public service.



¨Growing up, I was inspired by the positive impact of public service in the example of my late father. Four decades on, I remain committed to the goals of tackling poverty, of restructuring our society, of expanding access to quality education for all, and of inspiring a new generation of young Malaysians to work on behalf of this great country.

¨My own service in government has always been about getting results: To ensure a better deal for teachers, to improve conditions for our brave soldiers, and to strengthen our economy in defence of the people of Malaysia, as we deal with the outbreak of a global recession.

¨In the coming weeks, I will be consulting with people around our country, as I begin to reshape the leadership and priorities of the Government. I am mindful that we should build on the successes and lessons of the past. It must be a government with new approaches for new times  a government that places priority on performance, because the people must come first.

¨We must reach out to all parts of Malaysia... to all our diverse communities. In our national discourse and in the pursuit of our national agenda, we must never leave anyone behind. We must reach out to the many who may have been disaffected and left confused by political games, deceit and showmanship.

¨We must draw on talented people across our nation, regardless of their position or background, to re-energise a passion for public service. We must sow the seeds of goodwill and understanding in every corner of this land, so that we continue to harvest the fruits of progress and prosperity for all Malaysians.

¨We must seek to include and unlock the potential of our young people who will be the next generation of leaders, business people, engineers, scientists, teachers and doctors. We must give them wings to fly.

¨And so today, I pledge that I will work tirelessly to serve all of you.

¨In this spirit, I would like to announce that the government has decided with immediate effect, to remove the temporary ban on two news publications, release 13 detainees from ISA detention, and conduct a comprehensive review of the Internal Security Act. Additional details will be announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs shortly.

¨These decisions are timely as we move to enhance the confidence of our citizens in those entrusted with maintaining peace, law and order, while recognising the need to remain vigilant of the very real security threats we continue to face as a young nation.

¨I know that for every citizen, these are hard times and I remain focused in providing strong leadership to lead us out of this economic crisis and unleash our full potential as a nation. I will be steadfast in my commitment to meet the needs, aspirations and concerns of all Malaysians.

¨So today I ask you to join me in this task of renewing Malaysia. I urge us to rise to the challenge of building a One Malaysia. People First. Performance Now.

¨Let us begin this great journey together.〃  Bernama
