GARDENING, watching football, travelling and writing a book. Those were some of the things that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said he might do when it is time to call it a day in politics.

He said he would not spend his time harassing his successor on how to run the country. It was one of those tongue-in-cheek remarks but it was clearly a dig at Malaysia’s most famous retiree who is anything but retired.
