Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has an upper hand so far:
1) On the day of the news of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad alleged Pak Lah cutting off major project initiated by him. On the same day, all Chinese newspaper in Malaysia carried a news report that a strategist of Bank of America praise Malaysia fiscal policy and express confident in Malaysia currency compare to its previously and with other third world country in their economic and business section.
2) Over the past week, Umno Members of Parliament, Mentris Besar and the Barisan Nasional component leaders have all pledged their support to Abdullah. The expression of support has been overwhelming and certainly his control of Umno is unshakeable. The Star's columnist Wong Chun Wai write " But even those close to Dr Mahathir acknowledge the reality that it makes no sense for ambitious Umno politicians to back this retired politician who has no plans and no hope of coming back to power. It is only politically wise to invest in the present and the future, if one wants to climb the hierarchy. "
On 14 June 2006, The Court of Appeal has quashed Sukma's conviction for allowing his adopted brother Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to sodomise him eight years ago. Justices Gopal Sri Ram, Hashim Mohd Yusoff and James Foong unanimously allowed Sukma's appeal and set aside the conviction and six-month jail sentence. A coincident?
Sukma convicted when Tun Mathathir was in power. A retrial order clearly is an embarrassment to Tun Dr Mahathir. Is this just a coincident or a warning to Tun Dr Mahathir?
Clearly, when Pak Lah face difficulties in getting police to accept IPCMC. Whether right or wrong. Pak Lah cannot afford to lose this battle.
Influence of people with other agenda
Tun Dr Mathathir also said:
But the present government can do a good job if they want to. The means are there but if they come under the influence of people who have other agendas, then I can’t help.
Who is the influential people with other agenda?
On 14 June 2006 issue of Oriental Daily. Matthias Chang, the former political secretary of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan and Khairy Jamaluddin are the people who influence the PM, and challenge the two to debate with him.
Kalimullah is the New Straits Times Press deputy chairman and editorial adviser while Khairy is Abdullah's son-in-law of PM and Pemuda Umno deputy chief.
Both are directors of ECM Libra. Kalimullah is Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer while Khairy is Director of Investment Banking in ECM Libra.
Clearly ECM Libra is the most influential merchant banker in Malaysia. At least it is like Phileo Allied Bank when Anwar Ibrahim was Finance Minister, if not more influential. ECM Libra is in the process of merger with Avenue Capital Resources Bhd.
The risk of investment in ECM Libra is they involve in political controversial like with Matthias Chang and a lot others. This is a great political risk you must excess before you put your money in.

Only a retarded man doesn't know Anwar Ibrahim was fixed by the old wolf. Somebody should remind him that he was the only reason why we have to pay more for cars than other countries and pay for higher electricity bill.

Based on the result of Party Keadilan Rakyat in the past two general election. Did you mean majority of voter in Malaysia are retarded man?
