Khairy: Obama and Najib share natural chemistry


US President Barack Obama accompanied by the Minister of Youth and Sports Khairy Jamaluddin on arrival at the Royal Malaysian Air Force base in Subang.

PETALING JAYA: It was a busy second day for US President Barack Obama in Malaysia but he made it seem easy as he zipped through the capital full of vigour and even his weighty bilateral talks with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak went smoothly thanks to the “great natural chemistry” between the two leaders.

Najib even got a chance to travel in The Beast, the famed presidential vehicle often described as a formidable mobile fortress.
