What a day to have lunch together.
On a day when Najib is announcing his staggering RM60 billion stimulus package, Abdullah has lunch with Anwar.
I haven’t seen Abdullah looking so relaxed and cheerful for a long time. Click here to have a peek.
According to PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar in his blog, both leaders were invited by Al-Fadhil Tuan Guru Syeikh Mahmud Al-Majzubdi (better known as Tok Ayah) for the Maulud Rasul celebrations at the Madrasah Nurul Iman, Hulu Langat in Selangor.
Anwar says people are reading too much into the encounter. But hey, it’s not everyday the PM and Anwar have lunch together; so tongues are bound to wag.
Anyway, 49 per cent of over 5,000 respondents to the poll on this blog think that Abdullah will remain as PM after March while only 11 per cent of you think Najib will take over. Let’s wait and see what happens.
Do you support the death penalty for certain crimes?
- No (55%, 135 Votes)
- Yes (41%, 102 Votes)
- Not sure (4%, 9 Votes)
Total Voters: 246

I suggest PR to submit a motion to Vote for confidence for Pak Lah remain to be PM ..
With 83 PR + 2 Sapp + PM + KJ , it only required 26 votes from BN to keep Pak Lah as PM.
ain’t no secret…ain’t they buddies?
No wonder pix on Najis looks gloomy this afternoon – on Rm60 Bil. Either his mind is on the amount or the lunch meet, but he wasn’t there physicaly. Abdullah says it may be too late stopping but then again, knowing Zzzzzz head, U turn is his hallmark. Who knows?
Perhaps, a long short, Abdullah may well be the savior for the day, No?

Unity govt ???????&&&?????
I sincerely hope that Pak Lah-Anwar pull off a ‘coup’ and keep Pak Lah as the PM for a while longer. Pak Lah has been a great PM in many ways. He brought in more freedom of speech, more democracy compared to dictatorship Koya Kutty dished out to us, allowed a stronger opposition to flourish.
The PM in waiting… has way too much baggage to be a PM in the first place. Bank Negara Malaysia may be renamed soon to “BNR” after the change of guards
SAM G,
WEREN’T YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CONDEMNED PAK LAH AND CALLED HIM BODOHWI LAST TIME?
YOU WANT THIS BADAWI FELLA TO CONTINUE WRECKING MALAYSIA TO THE GROUND?
HOW EASY PEOPLE FORGET!
hidup rakyat kuasa rakyat!!!!!…we r malaysians not umno ketuanan melayu!!!ketuanan rakyat!!!…
Well, I’ve been quite consistent.
Badawi, to me, doesn’t have a major flaw, unlike other flea infested politicians. His was the soft approach.
But as we all know by now, soft or hard, it will be business as usual.
Let’s not forget the two hour closed door meeting between the two shortly after Anwar was released.
Now where are those hidden cameras when you need them? Any idea, Soi Lek?
I must add by saying that you blogers have a great sense of humour even in these trying times!!! Hey guys and gals, keep up the good work and smile our way to topple these cruel ….. from Putrajaya once and for all!!!
Cheers!
Das
So we will get a unity government of some sort then? I hope so.
Just we all wait for the famous………..
Filp-Flop..!
We love Abdullah Badawi
Remember pals, this is Malaysia, semua boleh jadi, keep our fingers crossed. God Bless.

Dato Sri Abdullah having lunch with Dato Sri Anwar. Its normal. After all they were invited for the Maulidul Rasul Celebration by One Tuan Guru. Being a Tuan Guru, I believe he had something to say to both Datos, but definitely not about financial matter…..i guess.
I guess it’s turning point for UMNO to find out why the Pm went for lunch with Dato’s Anwar,i think Najib is worried a lot before end of March !!!!!!!
if its for the Left out & affected Rakyat & GOOD for Pakatan Rakyat why not ?
This “chance” meet happened just be4 the Umno (folks) were “fed”
Pray something pro active comes out from this.
Are we kidding ourselves that the DPM is not going to take over the PM post end of this month?
Let’s face it, it will definately happen and Najib will take over as PM end of this month. Let’s not live in denial like those umno goons.
The question we should ask is ,how long will Najib last as PM?
My guess is less than four years.Come the next GE the whole BN will be wipe out. Remember”RAHMAN”.N will be the last PM from umno…. I will bet my last dollar on this.
I would propose DSAI and Pak Lah have more casual meetings before the end of Mar 09, that could trigger awareness and changes for the future of the Nation. Prominent persons known to both DSAI and Pak Lah should initiate and facilitate such meetings.Afterall, their friendship goes a long way other than the recent political drama which is destroying the nation.Suggest that both of them seriously ponder to establish a decent political system with strong opposition for the continuous prosperity of Malaysia by end March .Change, of course, both parties have to accept and compromise.

Of course Najib is dying to be the PM. But can the country afford to have him as PM with the kind of baggage that he is carrying?
If he has any love for the country and Party he should not assume the post. Love for country and Party of personal glory? Time to call his bluff.
Love for country and Party or personal glory?
You know, Anil, it may be out of this world, but somewhere deep inside me, I’m just hoping for Badawi to pull off a ‘Brutus’ styled, melodramatic change of heart and pull the curtains down on Najib, as he himself goes down. Wishful thinking?
why worry ? come the next GE 13 DAP will reign supreme , then only equality serenity and tranquility will anchor.
