Malaysian PM sworn in after disputed election win

KUALA LUMPUR — Prime Minister Najib Razak was sworn in for a second term by Malaysia’s king on Monday, after his 56-year-old ruling coalition retained power in elections branded as fraudulent by the opposition.

“I, Najib Razak, who has been appointed as prime minister, swear that I will honestly fulfil my duty to the best of my ability to uphold and protect the constitution,” he said during a ceremony in the ornate national place in Kuala Lumpur.
