Speaking at a dinner to mark Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang's six-year tenure as the Dewan Negara (Senate) president, Najib said Abu Zahar, who started his stint on April 26, 2010, managed to make the Dewan Negara more "prominent and prestigious."

"A speaker (president) not only need to gain the trust of members who are representing the Government but also those in the Opposition so that it is seen as truly representing the people," he said.
