It's been circulating on WhatsApp:
When Mr Najib Razak was still around as Prime Minister he loved to sing pop music from the 1960's. One of his favourite songs is The Young Ones, the famous hit by Cliff Richard and a test item for all would-be Singapore Cliff Richard contestants. Like the Shadows instrumental Apache, this Cliff favourite has been performed a million times by many 60's music fans.
So here's the former Malaysian PM rockin' n rollin' in top form. He's really got the beat. With him being so famous, he could easily make it as a pop singer.
The full keyboard backup with percussion is fantastic and Mr Najib's diction and timing are perfect. Man, he's really good. I'm sure The Silver Strings would take him on. Audie Ng, here's a good catch.

No need to practise. I think it should be on C.
Enjoy the music and Mr Najib while you can.

Would be interesting to have Mr Tan Soo Khoon join him for a duet. An Everly Brothers song would be great. Cheers.
He's practising JAILHOUSE ROCK and I WANNA BE FREE.
He now gets more viewers than Cliff Richard singing THE YOUNG ONES.
His singing, not bad lah. Cannot beat Cliff.
I like your C key thingy.
And backed by The Silver Strings. :-)
An old person wanting to be the “Young Ones” again.

Let go stress.
Perhaps showcasing a hidden singing talent for a future busking career.
Key C is too low for a man's key. Should be G. Not a good idea to e involved with him especially Silver Strings backing him would only invite problems?
Don't want to be implicated, not good publicity but adversity.
(Reply is written in jest. Nothing personal.)
Not bad. He can sing, got good rhythm too. LHL nowhere close to him. (haha).
A better singer than a politician.
My empathy for him. Probably realised his days of freedom are numbered and singing his swan song. (Sigh).
My teacher pointed at me with his ruler and said, 'At the end of this ruler there's an idiot.'
I got detention after asking, 'Which end?'

I did it MY WAY...
Hi, Andy
just watched a video of you singing an Elvis song. You did the right thing, Sang it your own way because you can only sound your best when you sing your own way. Cheerio
Thank you, Michael. I just read this mail. Yes, I don't believe in copying others' style because I can't. Appreciate that you understand.
Also thanking others who wrote in to comment.
Thank you Andy, I am not the soccer fan crazy crowd. But Najib's singing of "The Young Ones"
is superb.

Very soon he has to give up singing, THE YOUNG ONES and has to switch to other songs. Ha, ha, ha.
This was before the election? After results, another song?
No, this video showed him singing after the elections.
Thank you all for the comments.
