Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is smitten by 'The Beast', the nickname for the official car of the United States president.

"It's more comfortable than my Proton, and it feels safe because it is bulletproof," he said during a dialogue session at the Wild Digital Conference at the Le Meridian Kuala Lumpur this morning.

Najib, who rode in the vehicle when US President Barack Obama visited Malaysia, also spoke about the spaciousness of the vehicle.
