Badawi

If there is one thing to remember about Badawi, it’s how he reformed Malaysia’s one party democracy to the road of multiple parties democracy and to the power of the people.   Without being disrespectful, Badawi did it all the way "sleeping" with little or no interference.   Unlike his predecessor Mahathir who did ‘everything’ himself, even choosing the [.

Technorati Tags: malaysia,news,politics The rumors that we have been hearing ever since yesterday were true after all! Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has just made an announcement announcing his retirement plan to the whole world. He will hand over his hot seat to his blur-looking deputy (Najib la!) somewhere in 2010. Do you really believe that Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will do that in 2010? Sorry to say

Hantu Laut Abdullah may not be the greatest prime minister this country ever had, at least he has given Malaysians more freedom to express themselves without fear of being incarcerated.Malaysians are now bolder than before to go on the streets and show their displeasure at the government. How many people have Abdullah sent to ISA detention other than the Hindraf 5 ? How many have Mahathir

Malaysia PM Abdullah Badawi announced late yesterday that the government would not be hiking petrol and diesel prices again this year, recognizing that people are still trying to adjust to the hefty price hike last week. He added that civil servants would be given their salary in 2 tranches to help in the management of their finances. Badawi has been working hard to diffuse public anger over the l

  You must admit that Malaysian PM Abdullah Badawi is the fastest man in the universe to make fast billions.   Yesterday he made RM 2 billion by cutting ministers and their deputies’ entertainment allowances by 10 %.Nobody will really be hurt…   Few days ago Abdullah Badawi made RM13.7 billion with a whopping fuel hike between 40% and 60%.Everybody [...]

The ruling UMNO party supreme council will be huddled in a 3-day retreat starting today to be chaired by PM Badawi. It will be attended by rivals like International Trade Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, and former Selangor Chief Minister Toyo both whom have been vocal in calling for PM Abdullah exit. But there are others who would want to vie for PM Badawi position at UMNO if he goes. They include Mala

Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on the sidelines of the Nikkei Conference, offered the prediction that Barisan Nasional would be in the Opposition after the next elections if Prime Minister Badawi was allowed to continue in office. Dr Mahathir warned that he will attack the prime minister at every opportunity and seek ways to force him out of office. In the past 48 hours, Dr Maha

I’m not his biggest fan but he is right this time.Malaysian politics really look stupid after the recent 2008 General Election. You folks could not really see it if you are staunch supporters of any one of our political parties. You have to be standing on the sidelines (there are times when I sound like a PAS supporter but it would be wrong to say that I’m with them 100%) like I do to be able to see it. :-(The most stupid politics of all has to be those claims made by Anwar Ibrahim and his Parti Keadilan Rakyat about those who want to jump the Barisan Nasional’s ship and join the Oppositions, giving our Oppositions the opportunity to wrest control of power from the present newly elected government.This is what democracy is all about, eh… Sounds more like piracy!Do you think we comm

This new development is quite peculiar. Surely those financial geniuses over at our Finance Ministry and Bank Negara had anticipated that the costs to develop those mega projects will escalate year by year. It always has been and will always be anywhere else in the world.Perhaps the government really has no money to finance such mega projects but then that wouldn’t make any sense at all. Perhaps the government does have money but they have problems in channeling them to finance such mega projects since it is stuck in states won by our oppositions in the recent 2008 Malaysian General Election. That doesn’t make any sense either since the Federal Government has total control over our national development plans and they can siphon out money however they like since all projects were approv

What do expect from Mahathir when he is given the opportunity to voice out his thoughts. If it’s not about Anwar Ibrahim, it would be Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.I’m tired of hearing his regular bashings but I know that you folks out there love to see Muslims and Malays bashing each other. So, here goes…Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Verily Allah, the Glorious and Majestic, has forbidden for you: disobedience to mothers, and burying daughters alive, withholding the right of others in spite of being able to return that to them and demanding that (which is not one's legitimate right). And He disapproved three things for you: idle talk, persistent questioning and wasting of wealth.Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [

Hantu Laut The once affable Abdullah Badawi has been so much demonised by the oppositions, by some of his party members and most of all, the most vocal of all his critics, his former mentor and ex Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad. His seemingly weak leadership, irresolution and people's perception of him allowing his family of getting involved in affairs of the nation, notably his unpopular

Well, that’s what Central PAS Youth Wing has said recently and I totally agree with them.Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his immediate family members should declare their assets. The same goes for Najib and the rest of our other Ministers and Deputy Ministers and their family members as well. I’m sure Malaysians would love to know their dollar sign factors.While I’m at it, why don’t we create a special television documentary on this subject? We can call it ‘Lifestyle of the rich and famous, Malaysia Sure Boleh!’. :-)Courtesy of tvPAS Dot ComTags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Well Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, you can say whatever you want right now but the fact remains that your reputation in the eyes of the world is totally ruined.Do you even have good plans in store to salvage your reputation?Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The heart of an old person feels young for the love of two things: love for a long life and wealth.Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 1734Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Here we go again, folks.This is another big and classical ‘Malay versus Malay’ fight in the making and this time Mahathir seems to be enjoying himself like always. When will this senseless infighting among the Malays end?Come on fellow Muslims and Malays, don’t you realize that the Malays have gotten weaker after the recent 2008 Malaysian General Election?Don’t you realize that the non-Muslims and non-Malays are now getting stronger and united?Abu Bakrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When two Muslims confront each other and the one among them attacks his brother with a weapon, both the murderer and the murdered will get into Hell-Fire. He (Ahnaf, one of the narrators) said: I said, or it was said: Messenger of Allah, it may

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, do you that the Indonesian government has plans to block and censor porn and violent websites?You should do the same for Malaysia, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Such move will surely be applauded by devoted Muslims here in Malaysia and I’m sure that devoted Christians, Buddhists and Hindus will support such plans too.Abu Hurairah and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:One of the desert dwellers came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, I beg you in the name of Allah that you pronounce judgment about me according to the Book of Allah. The second claimant who was wiser than him said: Well, decide among us according to the Book of Allah, but permit me (to say something). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may

Good job, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. You finally understand what the real issues are all about with the common people. I know all along that you are neither blind nor deaf. You would have been able to see and hear better if you did not spent too much time mingling with aristocrats and filthy rich businessmen.Please remember that you are neither born nor destined to be a leader. You were elected to be a leader by the common people and you should never forget that. No matter how much pampering those aristocrats and filthy rich businessmen may give you, you can never deny the fact that it is the common people that gave you the springboard to join those at the top. :-)Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Three are the persons with wh

Don’t worry Abdullah Ahmad Badawi…Bloggers may sound and look like they are your staunch enemies at the moment but some (not me, InsyAllah…) can easily be bought by giving them power and money. Bloggers are humans too and they do have desires like your ‘friends’ in UMNO and Barisan Nasional. :-)On a heavier note, I think bloggers have to be more careful from today onwards. UMNO and Barisan Nasional are desperate to hang on to their slim support. They can either be nice or plain nasty to bloggers. If we look at their past history, the future doesn’t look good for bloggers.Bloggers beware!Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

What are you doing, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi?Your popularity has plunged to the bottom of the pit after the recent general election and your position as Prime Minister is very fragile at the moment. Don’t you realize that, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi?Generations of our Malay Rulers have ruled this land peacefully for hundreds of years, far longer than your pathetic and chaotic UMNO and Barisan Nasional. Modernization has not killed the respect that the common people have for our Malay Rulers. We are still loyal to our Malay Rulers and I hope that you will never forget that.Your defiance of the right of our Malay Rulers to choose what is best for their kingdom and royal subjects are highly uncalled for. You might as well kiss your political career goodbye, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Your days as Malay

So, the rumors that I have been hearing all this time were true after all! UMNO and Barisan Nasional do have plans to make peace with our Malaysian bloggers!How sincere and honest are they in talking about peace?The idea of having a two-way dialogue between bloggers and the government sounds interesting but why do I feel that the government is going to use such dialogues to discredit bloggers?Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, you should have dialogues with our political opposition parties first, make sure that you do it live so that everybody can see and hear everything. PAS for an example is more than eager to have dialogues with you and they have made it clear so many times but you purposely ignored them.What is your problem with our political opposition parties?Do not fall for this ‘trap’ fell

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi! I got good news for you, old buddy!The online ‘Abdullah Ahmad Badawi must go’ petition did not go as planned; it is a complete failure if we go by the results shown today! As of time of writing, only 3549 people had signed the online petition.You can breath easy now, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Your position as Prime Minister and Chairman of Barisan Nasional is safe for now. :-)Perhaps you should ask your people to do the opposite. Create another online petition and call it ‘Abdullah Ahmad Badawi must stay’ petition. Yeah, why not? It would be fun to watch how those two online petitions will turn into in the end.Please UMNO… Let us have another petition please…Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi…One time ago, your cahoots and cronies said that Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim is insignificant, a forgotten hero. The recent general election has proven that Anwar Ibrahim is very much ‘alive’ in the hearts of Malaysians. His party PKR is now the strongest political opposition party if we go by the election results.Now, you said that Barisan Nasional won’t get toppled. Was that some kind of a bravado talk or did you really have confidence with your Motley crew?You have been proven wrong too many times already, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. The clock is ticking and who knows what Anwar Ibrahim will do next.Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said that there was a person who used to walk with pride because of hi

I’m neither accusing nor speculating, just relaying what has been reported by tvPAS in their latest video shown down below.It is true that a few UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders had quitted and said sayonaras quite recently but so far their resignations have been peaceful. They didn’t make any noises just yet but who knows what will happen in the next few months. It is still too early to tell whether or not Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is really facing a major leadership crisis within UMNO and Barisan Nasional.We will just have to wait and see. :-)Courtesy of tvPAS Dot ComTags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Well Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, I have to respect your persistence. Things don’t look good for you but you insist on soldiering on. I’m sure you are well aware that many perceive your persistence as plain stubbornness.Then again, I don’t think it would be right for you to quit even though many wanted you to do so. By leaving your UMNO or Barisan Nasional in a state of defeat, you will be remembered as the man who messed up what was once a great empire. I’m sure you do not wish to remembered as a failure, I guess this is why you chose to stay on as Prime Minister and Chairman of Barisan Nasional.Good luck Abdullah Ahmad Badawi! Only Allah swt Knows what would happen to you in the next few years.'Abdul-Rahman bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Allah's Messenger (may pea

Yeah… Yeah…Abdullah Ahmad Badawi introduced a lot of fresh faces alright but they all chips from the same rotten block, aren’t they? It doesn’t make any difference to me and to millions of other Malaysians.Sure, we can give them a chance to prove themselves. A friendly reminder to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s new heroes, we are all watching you. Every little step you make, we will be there too. Don’t fool around with the ‘amanah’ or trust that had been given. One wrong move, every one of you will be wiped out in the next general election.Ma'qil bin Yasar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:Verily I have heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: Anyone among the bondsmen (of Allah) who was entrusted with the affairs of his subjects and he died in such a state that

Yawn… Sorry to say that Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s new cabinet lineup is not convincing enough for me.Like many other Malaysians, I’m also surprised to see that Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had given Muhammad Muhd Taib a new lease of life as Minister of the Rural and Regional Development Ministry. This is weird and pretty much appalling. No doubt Raja Petra Kamarudin of Malaysia Today blog will be furious after hearing Muhammad Muhd Taib’s new appointment!His last cabinet that he had introduced way back in 2004 had failed miserably, far from being ‘Cemerlang, Gemilang & Terbilang’. What Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hopes to accomplish with this brand new cabinet lineup now?Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Ladies and gentlemen…As of time of writing, more than 1,400+ people have signed the ‘Abdullah Ahmad Badawi must go’ petition. It is an online petition; if you can read this post today then you should have no problems in accessing the online petition reachable at the link that I have provided earlier.I really don’t know who is behind this online petition but it is obvious that whoever is behind it is supporting Mukhriz Mahathir’s calls for Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s resignation.Poor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi…He’s in on the brink of facing a major leadership crisis at the moment. The number of people who had signed the online petition so far is probably insignificant to him at the moment but what if the number grows to a shocking million?Would he still have the guts to say that Mala

A very interesting news clip from AFP I have to say.Its main focus is of course that stubborn old Abdullah Ahmad Badawi but those little tit bits that follows are worth reading as well. Pay special attention to the part where Shahidan Kassim is mentioned. If all those quotes were really his statements, we can expect another big trouble in the near future.Let us see if Shahidan Kassim dares to go against a Malay Ruler. Let us see if UMNO is willing to back Shahidan Kassim. Let us see if the common people will rally to help Shahidan Kassim or get together behind their Malay Ruler.Yes, this should be interesting. :-)Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

There is no doubt in anybody’s mind in Malaysia right now that support and confidence in Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is at its all time low at the moment.This is very damaging to the country and yet, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is still hanging on to his fragile position as Prime Minister. Please stop being so stubborn, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Admit defeat and leave. Let some other people take over your place and return back peace to Malaysia.Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Good! Stop wasting money on lazy politicians and ineffective Ministries.One other thing Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, you should take care of your Prime Minister post alone and leave your other favorite portfolios to some other people.

Folks!What do you think of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s recent statement (refer to MalaysiaKini) stating that he had learned a lot from BN’s failure in the recent general election?It would have been great for Malaysia if he had truly learned something but the news of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi expected to appoint those that have been shown the exit by the common people as senators is a big shocker.What is that old man going to do now? Appoint incompetent and toll-concessionaire-friendly Samy Vellu (shameless sore loser!) as a senator and let him hold his old post as Works Minister once more?As far as I’m concerned, this old man probably didn’t learn anything from the recent general election. His arrogance is still there in top form. :-(Do whatever you like, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi but do remem

I never did like AFP’s news reports in the past but the following news clip seems to be on the mark. This is more like it.

Fat chance!At least the following news clip confirms that he is not resigning, he is sticking with Barisan Nasional whatever it takes.As far as I’m concerned, he should resigns and leave Barisan Nasional. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as matter of fact should join PAS and seek their guidance to help him repent and seek forgiveness to Allah swt. Go back to basics and emerge as a better Muslim perhaps in 2012.Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saying: If there were for the son of Adam a valley full of riches, he would long to possess another one like it, and the son of Adam will only be filled with dust (when he dies). And Allah accepts the repentance of the one who repents.Hadith number in Sahih Muslim [Arabic only]: 1739Tags: ma

No wonder, we, Malaysians are in deep shit. While Yang Amat Berhormat Dato' Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi sleeps, who actually run the country? He is a national disgrace.His ministers are squandering millions. It's public knowledge that RM100 million commission was paid for purchasing Sukhois, RM500 million commision paid for purchasing the Scorpion submarines, RM70 million for a non-existent Sports Centre in London and RM40 million lease for a STUPID ferris wheel called Eye-on-Malaysia. We all are going down if he keep on doing what he does best.....sleeping.

The following are crucial yogas present in Badawi's horoscope: Damini Yoga: He helps others, becomes wealthy, will possess cattle, become brave, have children and possess gems.

We're going to do the same thing here as we did for the DPM. Assess his sun-moon strengths. Just hours away from a Full Moon, Badawi is filled with 'power'. But this kind of power carries with it much sensitivity, typical of lunar type energy.
