Najib explains how knowledge conquers all


Marking a milestone: Najib and Rosmah going through some reading material and chatting with students at Usim’s Permata Insan College Complex after the official opening of the RM68mil facility. Looking on is Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

NILAI: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak took a leaf out of the 16th century Malacca history to explain to students why having superior knowledge over one’s rival is important to emerge victorious.

The Prime Minister said although the Portuguese invaders had sailed to the then bustling port in only three galleons, they managed to conquer the sultanate which had a larger army.
