Now for the UMNO Elections

All the predictions were wrong, well it was UMNO and the common perceptions of common sense, do not prevail when it comes to UMNO.

So Badawi has decided to go, he's thrown in the towel, but has he really buried the hatchet?

He has said,""At some point I will have to hand over to my successor," then went on further to say that he hoped the successor would be Najib, so from now on Najib is not the annointed successor.

Both Najib and Muhyuddin will be making statements tomorrow, would they be pairing up or would Muhyuddin be announcing his willingness to stand for the Presidency.

Ali Rustam who has indicated his desire to go for the number 2 post has sounded his support for Najib will he be Najib's running mate and if he is to be the running mate, then what does Muhyuddin do? All the polls on this blog show no support for Najib becoming the next PM but then this is no UMNO blog.

Razaleigh has to go on full drive if he intends to shake up Najib, Najib on the other hand seems rather relaxed and quite confident of being elected the next President of UMNO and subsequently being appointed PM of Malaysia.

This piece of report from "Malaysiakini" is rather confusing,"Nevertheless, it is possible that Abdullah may continue to serve as premier for a few more months despite no longer being Umno president" it makes little or no sense, why after hurrying him up is anyone going to let him stay on for a few more months?

Now that Abdullah has thrown in the towel let the the business of governing begin, he has said he wants to get on with his promises, that is exactly what he has to do, get on with it and get over with it fast.

If he gets rid of the ISA he will forever be remembered in the history of this land, if he doesn't he'll be forgotten as soon as he steps down, or for the wrong reasons.
