Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today asked the media not to pester him on the date for the transition of power. Urging the media to be patient, he said it would happen in due course.
"Just wait. Don't ask me to say anything. All will happen when the time is right. The transition will take place," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
Despite having reiterated numerous times that he would hand over the reins to deputy premier Najib Abdul Razak, this has failed to silence the murmurs on the grapevine over the possibility of an eleventh hour surprise.Technically, Abdullah's term does not end until 2013 when the next general election is due. But the premier has come under tremendous pressure to step down in the wake of last year's polls which saw the ruling coalition suffering a major setback.
Does Pak Lah look like he's saying, 'Hehehe...I haven't resigned yet...'
