Prime Minister Datuk Seri
Najib Tun Razak hopes that when Malaysia takes over the task as Asean chairman
next year, it will be supported by and receive the cooperation of the Malaysian
people.
"Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to achieve whatever we want to do when Malaysia becomes the chairman," he told Malaysian journalists after the conclusion of the 25th Asean Summit in Nay Pyi Taw today.
The support of everyone, namely the government, private sector and corporate bodies, the media and individuals must be focused towards this which was considered as a national pride and mission, he said.
Malaysia received the honour to become the Asean chairman in the historic year, that is, when Asean would be declared as an economic community, he added.
"This is the responsibility for all of us as Malaysians, to achieve everything that we should do as Asean chairman," Najib said.
If the people in Asean were to appreciate the slogan 'People-Centred Asean', it must begin with the people of Malaysia themselves, he said.
In order to achieve the objective, there must be an effective communication plan and various programmes involving not only the Asean leaders but also certain groups such as the young entrepreneurs, parliamentarians and women.
He said the 25th Asean Summit went smoothly and was successful as a whole.
Malaysia will take over the chairmanship of the 10-member Asean beginning January 1 from Myanmar. The logo that will be used during Malaysia’s chairmanship of Asean next year is made up of curved elements, representing a molecular atom.

The curves represent the
progress made by Asean countries in keeping up with advances in science and
technology.
Ten circles and curves
around the permanent Asean logo represent the 10 member states that work
together and are passionate about friendship and instilling harmony.
The combination of multiple
colours represents the diversity of talent from different fields, moving in
tandem with a shared vision to progress.
The red colour reflects
fearlessness among Asean countries, while yellow reflects prosperity.
Blue reflects peace and
stability, green reflects friendliness among member states, and purple reflects
wealth, wisdom and intelligence.
