THAILAND, FRI:

Policies and plans that have been drawnup to mitigate the global economic crisis will remain intact despite the leadership change in Malaysia next month, International Trade and IndustryMinister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today.

“As far as Malaysia is concerned, it is not a change of government but leadership. It is the same party that rules. God willing, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will take over from Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

"What has been planned to address the crisis will be continued and whatever that needs to be done after that," he told CNBC in a live interview.

Muhyiddin is here for the 14th Asean Summit.
As for leadership changes in other countries in the region, especially in Indonesia, he hoped any leadership change would not affect the priority issues to deal with the crisis.
