Balawi, you lost your once in your lifetime chance to make a difference for Malaysians to be counted in the world and stand as equal. With your tidak apa attitude our country is now in reverse gear No. 3. Many Malaysian are suffering but you boast of your house in Pencala and having a great time retiring. My father is 77 and still working to ensure he gets to eat! Puck lah.

Fatal slip
The reason Abdullah Badawi is going is because he came close to losing power. In Malaysia’s 51-year history that has never happened. The same side has been in charge from Day One.
The country had continued its impressive economic growth under his watch. But divisions which have haunted this multi-racial and multi-religious nation at times bubbled to the surface once more. When his second general election as leader came around earlier this year, the people punished him. Malaysia’s minority Chinese and Indians deserted the government in droves. The prime minister was humiliated. The Barisan Nasional won but with a much reduced majority. Support for the opposition swelled to unprecedented levels. In the days and weeks after the result, Abdullah Badawi faced down his critics. Then came the first sign of mounting dissent in the ranks. He agreed to hand over to his number two in 2010. That failed to allay the fears of those who thought the government was doomed unless it changed leader and direction.
So after months of in-fighting he is going, much earlier than he said he planned to go.
“In all my years of service, I’ve always been guided by my conscience - I’ve always placed the interests of the nation above all,” Abdullah Badawi said as he announced his decision.
“It is with this in mind that I announce I will not be standing… in the coming party elections.”
He said he was going to ensure unity.

There is a huge chaos going on. Malaysians are upset and tired with corruption and coverups. It was too much politics and drama. Its like a mellow drama indeed. Picture on the left is PM, Abdullah Badawi and his deputy, Najib Tun Razak.After last election, UMNO had a huge shock, since they didn't win 80% majority, like they used to. Malaysian starts to vote for opposition, despite of suppressed media. UMNO being overly confidence starts to shake. Here is the funny stuff, they try to make an alliance with the opposition, guess which one?? Parti Islam Semalaysia (PAS).Personally, I feel this is too outrages! But for political reasons, to win back majority, why not? (probably in the head of the UMNOs)..
Here are the snip its of the Prime Minister seat fight...
1) Prime Minister (PM), Abdullah Badawi, increase the fuel by 40% in one day, and Malaysians are upset!
2) Ex-PM, Mahathir made a bold statement saying Abdullah Badawi is incompetent and requests Abdullah to step down.
3) Deputy PM, Najib Tun Razak, wants to step in the position as PM soo much but PM Abdullah Badawi doesn't want to let go!!
4) Anwar Ibrahim, ex-deputy PM, who is the adviser of the opposition party, Pakatan Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) made a bold statement as well that he wants to claim for his seat as the PM!!
A Government Not Elected, But Imposed
And current Najib becomes Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister.. Can we trust him to lead our country with Rosmah as his confidant ?
Kuala Lumpur, Apr 3 : Najib Tun Razak has been sworn in as Malaysia’s sixth Prime Minister, taking over the reigns from Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who stepped down after leading the country for over five years.
Even though Najib may be the PM by polling day, we still need to send a clear message to him and umno that najib is not the leader that the rakyat wants. This country cannot afford to have a leader tainted with all kinds of unsolved mysteries. A mystery man can be a very dangerous man. How can we allow this country to be run by a mystery man whose past records as intermediate leader's are not so clear or clean.
1) Is najib a leader for all Malaysians or is he a racist. He has yet to apologize or explain his involvement in the eighties calling for the kris to flow with Chinese blood.
2) Is he involve directly or indirectly with the cruel murder of Altantuya. Why is he afraid to clear his name in the court of law instead of swearing in the mosque and giving statements of his non involvement. Does the law allow someone who may be involved in criminal activities to swear and give statements to clear one's name?
3) Is he corrupted. In all the years as a government official, did he ever receive any bribe from any kind of sources or in kind from his capacity as minister or dpm. The purchase of the submarines and fighter jets come to mind??
4) Is he power crazy. Najib, to show that you are not power crazy, ask your own selected Perak MB to dissolve the Perak state assembly and call for fresh election. Stop hiding behind the royalties and stop using the government apparatus such as the judiciary, pdrm, macc to act on your behalf to stop all those opposing you.
I am not saying that he is involve in the above but the public perception indicates otherwise. As long as he keeps mum the perception will grow stronger by the day.So before he step into the premiership, I suggest that he comes clean by refuting all the nasty perception about him in the court of law. He must allow transparency and open all the account books for full investigation by independent party and judges with integrity and honesty.
Perak's Traitorous Trio With Their Head Handler
In god we trust, others get paid.
Najib inauguration speech
1. On behalf of all Malaysians, I would like to thank YABhg. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for his 31 years of exemplary public service to our country, his commitment to strengthening the institutions and fabric of our democracy and for his graceful example as our leader.
2. I am grateful to YABhg. Tun for his confidence in proposing my name as Prime Minister to Duli Yang Maha Mulia Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and I am honoured that His Majesty has consented to my appointment with this morning’s swearing-in ceremony. I feel a deep sense of humility at the opportunity to serve as your Prime Minister at an important time in our nation’s history. My life has been dedicated to public service. Growing up, I was inspired by the positive impact of public service in the example of my late father. Four decades on, I remain committed to the goals of tackling poverty; of restructuring our society; of expanding access to quality education for all; and of inspiring a new generation of young Malaysians to work on behalf of this great country. My own service in government has always been about getting results: to ensure a better deal for teachers, to improve conditions for our brave soldiers, and to strengthen our economy in defence of the people of Malaysia, as we deal with the outbreak of a global recession.
3. In the coming weeks, I will be consulting with people around our country, as I begin to reshape the leadership and priorities of the Government. I am mindful that we should build on the successes and lessons of the past. It must be a government with new approaches for new times – a government that places a priority on performance, because the people must come first.
4. We must reach out to all parts of Malaysia - to all our diverse communities. In our national discourse and in pursuing our national agenda, we must never leave anyone behind. We must reach out to the many who may have been disaffected and left confused by political games, deceit and showmanship.We must draw on talented people across our nation, regardless of their position or background, to re-energize a passion for public service. We must sow the seeds of goodwill and understanding in every corner of this land, so that we continue to harvest the fruits of progress and prosperity for all Malaysians.We must seek to include and unlock the potential of our young people who will be the next generation of leaders, businesspeople, engineers, scientists, teachers and doctors. We must give them wings to fly.
5. And so today, I pledge that I will work tirelessly to serve all of you.
6. In this spirit, I would like to announce that the government has decided with immediate effect, to remove the temporary ban on TWO news publications, release 13 detainees from ISA detention, and conduct a comprehensive review of the Internal Security Act. Additional details will be announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs shortly.
7.These decisions are timely as we move to enhance the confidence of our citizens in those entrusted with maintaining peace, law and order, while recognizing the need to remain vigilant of the very real security threats we continue to face as a young nation.
8. I know that for every citizen, these are hard times and I remain focused in providing strong leadership to lead us out of this economic crisis and unleash our full potential as a nation. I will be steadfast in my commitment to meet the needs, aspirations and concerns of all Malaysians.
9. So, today I ask you to join me in this task of renewing Malaysia. I urge us to rise to the challenge of building a One Malaysia. People First. Performance Now.
10. Let us begin this great journey together.
Our deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak has launched a spanking new website, "1Malaysia" with videos, picture galleries and all.He asked for "rational dialogue to discuss the things that matter deeply to us as a nation... While I may not always agree with you, be assured that your views will be heard."He also added that "What makes Malaysia unique is the diversity of our people ... and I want to preserve this diversity and unity."So what do you think? Well, don't just think, tell it to him yourself! His website has a comment page for you to fill in all your "rational dialogues". You have signed the petition for Teresa Kok, Raja Petra, the Hindraf 5 and all the other ISA detainees. Now, go to our honourable deputy prime minister's website comment page and give him a piece of your mind.
Najib for No.1, Muhyiddin for No. 2
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin
UMNO Vice President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd. Yasin is clearly ‘demarking his territory’, especially in the current times of weak Leadership that needed to be filled within UMNO. He announced that he is ready to be pitted in the top two post within the UMNO hierarchy.
The faces of Malaysia's Prime Minister-to-be and also a photo of possibly Malaysia's future Prime Minister. Scary isn't it?
At this moment, Malaysia faces the same daunting challenges of an economic meltdown, a difficult race relations and a broken politics. This is the moment we ask for politicians to show us leadership, not just patronage. Show us a solution, not just spewing rhetoric.
We should not merely focus on competitive and electoral politics. What is the point if elections create winners but the people remain losers? Fixation over electoral politics alone create division and conflict. Our politicians should know when the campaign must stop and the work must begin.
Our understanding of race relations, unity and nation building should undergo some serious refining.
Our lack of mutual understanding was exposed in the recent discourse on religion. Muslims in this country should take cognisance of the need to reach out and share their thoughts with others. Years of seeking exclusivity, through some irresponsible religious politicking, has created a gap between muslims and non-muslims in this country. The image of Islam is battered because it was not kept away from politics. It is still not too late to do so.
We remain disintegrated because of our growing misunderstanding and not due to our mutual dislike or hatred. Religious overzealots who hijacked our religion and turning it into a propaganda tool to serve their own interests want to keep the right to interpret scriptures solely in their domain. Religious studies should liberate our mind and soul and not seek to entrap it.
