When I became Prime Minister, I looked back on what was done before – what were the policies and actions before – and I thought that I need to be critical if I’m going to do anything at all.

We need an opposition to remind us if we are making mistakes. When you are not opposed you think everything you do is right.

No one should have extra influence on an organisation. We should always regard ourselves as equals in the organisation, and we should be concerned about each other's problems.

History should remember Blair and Bush as the killers of children, or as the lying prime minister and president.

Developing countries like Malaysia should have a say in changing the world financial system since we have faced the problems that it has caused.

Any organisation has a future, provided it is properly led and it sticks to the objective of that organisation.

I cannot keep quiet even when I am a lone voice.
