Is it a farewell to the Prime Minsiter

Najib may land up with the presidency of UMNO tomorrow or have a defiant Abdullah slug it out with him to the last.

Abdullah is not the type of person to let go easily, he does not speak too much because the little that he says seems to be of little intellectual value, Abdullah if he wants to retain his stand of staying at the helm till 2010 has to be prepared for a fight tomorrow.

He has the aces on his side, head of the Ministry of defense, the Prime Minister, the current President of UMNO but what he lacks is the crookish character of a Mahathir. He has to take a leaf of what Mahathir would have done.

The Mahathir principle would be sack or force out his deputy, and threaten all the rest that, that would be their fate if they dared oppose him.

I however doubt Abdullah is made of such stern stuff, he will not be able to withstand the onslaught, unless prior to tomorrow's meeting he whispers a few things in Najib's ear, the same way Razak Baginda's father whispered a few words in Razak's ear. If he does that,that may get Najib backing Abdullah with all his might.

Badawi's fate is on the line tomorrow, and it is in his hands, he is the only one who can make the difference it tomorrow's outcome, the agenda is of course to get him out, but whether he stays or goes depends solely on Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
