Voted! My vote is secret LoL :p
NO, never.
We need a prime minister like Pak Lah.
What we don’t need is a deputy prime minister like Najib.
He should man! The poor results translates to the vote of non confidence. Its a harder task now then before so sticking to it isnt the best option…in my opinion
I still have mix feelings. If he stops listening to “others” and makes up his own mind then maybe he should stay else it’s better for him to step down.
A responsible leader accept resposibility.. if more then half total voters did not vote for BN he must accept the responsibility and resign… After all he has to be PM of all Malaysian…
but then again .. how many BN Leaders in the past does.
I agree with malaysian that Pak Lah should not resign unless there’s a better candidate. BN did not lose, it failed to obtain 2/3 majority in the parliament. I personally think that this is the best election outcome for all Malaysians.
After 50 years, if not for Datuk Seri Abdullah, we would not have the first Tsunami and victory for democracy in Malaysia.
Let’s just look at the scenario:
1. Datuk Seri Abdullah released DSAI when he came to power.
He did not need to do this.
Dr M would probably have driven DSAI to commit Harakiri in prison!
2. Datuk Seri Abdullah did not stop the bloggers from giving altenartive news.
He could have arrested these bloggers under ISA.
Dr M would definitely have done this at least prior to the election.
3. Datuk Seri Abdullah allowed the Bersih and Hindraf to organise their rallies. Under Dr M’s rule,
the organisers would have been arrested even for thinking about organising the rallies.
Judge a person from the outcomes of their leadership, not from what their detractors say.
Think!
I certainly vehemently object to the suggestion that Pak Lah should step down. Who is the next best candidate to hold the PM post anyway.
Suprising when out DPM was linked to Altantuya’s case no pressure was placed on Dato Seri Najib to step down though the photos produced in Court was so obvious but because BN failed to get its 2/3 majority Pak Lah has to step down because it is his fault.
The fact remains what when one party wins, it is referred as TEAM WORK but when it is otherwise we all start pointing fingers at one person.
THE WORLD AND PEOPLE ARE NEVER FAIR AFTER ALL.
step down Pak Lah! your son in law make your reputation become more worst! instead ur deputy prime minister like Najib. he dont have a strong enough backup. you better step down before it become more worst!
Pak Lah SHOULD NOT STEP DOWN. Although im not a big fan of him but i think he should not resign. He should just change his atittude to be more aware and reasonable to the rakyat. Plus, i dont clearly see whos the next possible candidates to be a Prime Minister. Think! dont be like uneducated people, dont listen to those hearsays. Thats typical malaysians of course.
Abdullah is a FOLLOWER. Even Mahathir looks like a dictator but he is always a LEADER. We need someone to lead the country not a follower who just listen. LEADER leads the country.If Mahathir is a dictator, is he as bad as Marcos or others dictator? He did so much for Malaysia.
I disagree with most of the reports and postings that are WHACKING Pak Lah.
Everyone knows that during the period of Tun Dr M, we were not even allowed to speak out against the Government or its policies. If anyone really dared, then ISA lah !!! Easy as that.
You challenge the top Brass, then you will be charged with Corruption and if the Courts find NO evidence of Corruption, then they charge you for Sodomy. All types of charges will be filed until they can nip you in Jail (one less Opposition).
Then, no press freedom, Blogging CANNOT as the Ministry says that anyone who talks the truth about the Government or its Policies will be charged with the Sedition Act (ask Lim Guan Eng who was a Victim).
Now, here is a new Prime Minister (2004) who has given the Freedom to one and all (Rakyat) to Voice their Grievances in the Media (even e-mail him personally), Report Corruption of top Government Brass freely without Fear, challenge the Government in Elections and a Host of other FREEDOM so that JUSTICE can be seen and done. This could never have happened before this.
The Prime Minister has done his best to be clean and Honest in all dealing, gave the Rakyat the Voice that was needed for the Change as well as the avenues to do so.
The only problem he had was his Group of Advisors, who are to be blamed for all the fiascos with wrong advice to the PM. That was his BIGGEST MISTAKE.
I suggest that Pak Lah MUST NOT be punished BUT instead he should be given a HONOUR for helping the Rakyat choose the parties of their choice and see Malaysia as a true Democratic Country.
Remember, if not for Pak Lah, we would never ever have seen the Opposition winning with such big margins. That’s why Pak Lah says this Election was Fair and Clean although BN lost badly.
This could NEVER have happened in the past COULD IT ???
Balzitt,
I would have to agree with you on that. We have seen more freedom now then before.
Guys & Gals,
Understand your frustation & dissapoinment on” Pak Lah”. But think carefully.. On his stay as PM what has happened all the while? We do not face thie situation during Tun M were in post! Think la.. u people grown up.. All the prices has increased.. The blady UMNO is acting like bitch..
Haiiiii.. i don no what to say.. Too many things..
If me.. i would point finger to Badawi & ask him to step down (Its my own point of view)
I think otherwise, what I see is issue were allowed to surface now but not during M’s time.
Peace will come with great challenges, we need to go through them.
i think PAK LAH have to step down as a prime minister…i think he could not manage what happen around him and he often too soft with people who try to take him down……..use real politic like DR M will some how make an impact to people…human has to be control by law…total freedom to do whatever they want even though this is a democracy shitty country make us become more big head like want to be more pampered with subsidies and all that……CCCP!!!
Amaran kepada KHIR TOYO !

yes, he should resign long time ago
The answer is resounding NO!. As I see it Pak Lah has not lost the election for BN. BN is still holding majority in parliment and get use to this…
Dr. Mahathir is running scared of being investigated over the Lingam case. So, it is no brainer for him to craft a way to deflect attention from this matter. He sees Pak Lah as “lemah� and a soft target and he took full advantage to lash out with his blame game. Now that is arrogant! My suggestion is for Dr. Mahathir to enjoy retirement and make himself useful in helping out the needy and do some charitable work.
Pak Lah on the other hand has not participated in the tongue twisting battle with Dr. Mahathir. I think Pak Lah is a gentlemen and a statesman that’s why Dr. Mahathir chosed him to be PM in the first place.
pak lah should resign and i hope that somebody like mahathir would rise again

Just 2 say Pak Lah still better than Dr.M.Pls.don’t judge Pak Lah so narrow.
Even the best person from other races replace also more worse.
So peace..
Well Pak Lah can’t be fully blamed for the existing problem.. Tun Mahathir is also at fault the reason our country turn out to be like this. Even after retirement he still voice in unnnecessary opinion which worsen things and condition.
step aside badawi !!!!??? get the fuck out from ur title !!!!!! u should resign and go for a vacation at somewhere else so dat u can fuck ur fucking bitch wife everyday… u only know how to get us as a Malaysian into a big fuckig trouble !!!???? fuck you Badawi !! GET LOST wiTh ur UMNO ,asshole !!!!!!
If Pak Lah steps down, who’s going to be the next PM?
Malaysia doesn’t need stupid fellar like Pak Lah to run the country.. we always have better and samrt people such as Anwar Ibrahim.. He’s the one that should be the PM long time ago if not being sacked by our more greedy ex prime minister, Dr Mahathir..
For us, the Malaysian citizens, we want shallowly someone who can bring us a better life (mostly and only materialistic, in terms of economy). If we blame our life now is trully bad because of a bad economy which is a common worldwide phenomenon. Then What Pak Lah cannot do ,do you think Najib can? Replacing Pak Lah with Najib is just a internal rivalry of power within UMNO, nothing really related to the ability of ruling the country, changing the economic state of Malaysia.
As for Anwar, who knows what will happen after he really has seized the power, is he really as capable as he said? Replacing BN with People’s Justice Party is another rivalry of power. We can only guess and we can never really sure what will happen? We can only take risk to gamble, we don’t know and can’t be sure what really is going to be.
If Pak Lah is forced to resign, this is only a choice made by those UMNO politicians, are these people really moral and capable? Are they really making decision for the goods of the country, who knows? We should know, the failure of a government is never the responsibility of a person but the whole BN should be blamed.
For me, I would like Pak Lah to stay and let him continue his service for 2 more years for I really don’t have much confidence on Najib especially after the rumours on the murder case of the Mongolian woman. I would like to see Anwar to serve as a opposition leader to guard the government rather to topple the government in such a hurry . He may come into power in the next election if BN is a proven failure.
If they want to replace Pak Lah immediately, we should ask does UMNO has other candidate instead of Najib? This is not an internal issue within UMNO, actually this is an national issue, should the Malaysian citizens let a group of people to decide who should be their prime minister, if Pak Lah should resign, then our government should dismiss the current cabinet and run an election again.
step down!!!!! in the recent years we saw malaysian economies and politics are so unstable!! is he leading malaysia or he is being leaded by someone else?? every trouble arouses seems to expose his unconsistence leadership.from the rising price of needs(food..etc) to oil. he has no credibility at all!!! mahathir has fought strong enough to rise malaysian economy to the peak after the shoe has changed to him every effort that mahathir had put in perish one after another under him!!! ex: proton.Go to hell pak lah!!!we need a new, strong and real leader like anwar!! what a shame to know that we are suffering to put a litre of fuel in our car to go to work so that we can pay taxes to THEM and at the same time they just sit back in their office humming happily without worrying to pay the gass bills etc/wake up guys!!! we are the exporter of crude oil.we are a country that produces oil!!! but we seems to be ignored by THEM!!! every single day we have to pay more and more to get our ass to the office so that we can pay THEM more.THEY just sits there and do nothing!!!!!! WHAT A SHAME!!!what kinda leader to say that “we malaysian should stop eating sugar!!”what the f**k?!!! is that word rolling out from our PM?our leader? what should happen to the F&B industries without sugar? he is crazy man.the echo has broadened across the country! we need a change!! to those who work for a living(employee) should understand this at the first place!! even a businessman/investor like me already feeling the heat of the situation….SUPPORT PAKATAN!make it stronger!!!
