As a result of this effort we have restored the full meaning of 'sound as a dollar' across the world.
I believe we are entering a new era of cooperation between government and business and labor and the many groups which form this Nation.
We have greatly admired the courage with which you led your native land to a decisive victory over Communist terrorism.
We are very proud to welcome you back again today, this time as the leader of the new nation of Malaysia.
