Abdullah will not resign because he is still the elected representive

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi denies rumors that he will step down as PM, tells Bernama that he will not run away from his entrusted responsibilities.

Speculation on PM resigning should be stopped as it creates political uncertainty, affects the country’s image, said Umno VP Muhyiddin Yassin.

Ever since the BN lost 5 states in the general elections, there has been pressure from some quarters asking him to resign. The Ex prime Minister and his son have come out to make such request.

There is no issue for Abdullah to resign because he still won the general election, though did not obtain two third majorities. It is agreed by many people that the ex-pm Tun Mahathir has to be held responsible for many issues as well. Abdullah being the present PM has to shoulder many issues that were handed down by the ex-PM Mahathir.

Chief Secretary to the Government Mohd Sidek Hassan has urged the civil service to respond to both the conventional media and the alternative media.

Federal government agreed to work with Opposition-led Penang in completing the second Penang Bridge project, says Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
