Datuk Seri Najib Razak hit back at critics who questioned Putrajaya's decision to purchase a government jet instead of using the funds to upgrade security in Sabah, saying this "logic is quite mystifying".

Taking to this blog to answer criticism against his administration, the prime minister insisted that no funds earmarked for the security of Sabah have been diverted or reduced to purchase the government jet.

"The security of this country is of paramount importance to me. 

"Because we care for security, the government established ESSCOM (Eastern Sabah Security Command) to secure the boundaries of Sabah," Najib said in his blog www.najibrazak.com.
