Cue for Damai Malaysia to show it's face ?

PM Badawi says "I'm also told that others - Malays and non-Malays - who respect the constitution, also feel slighted by what has happened. They may also complain to the relevant authorities,"

Writer's note : This may be a cue for Damai Malaysia and Reezal Merican to show his face again.

Malaysiakini


Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today denied claims that he recently thwarted a meeting between ex-premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and deputy premier Najib Abdul Razak."Tak ada halang, tak ada (didn't block, didn't block)," was all that the premier said when he was asked to comment on the claims made by Mahathir yesterday.The former prime minister yesterday told reporters that he tried to set up a meeting with Najib immediately after the general election to discuss about current affairs."He (Najib) said he would first have to get the permission of the prime minister. Apparently he did not get permission. So until now, he has not seen me," said the former premier who is now Abdullah's harshest critic.
Mahathir has openly called for Abdullah to take responsibility for Barisan Nasional's heavy defeat in the March 8 general election and step down from both the premiership as well as from Umno presidency.

Until recently, Mahathir has been openly pitching for Najib to take over from Abdullah. However more recently, he has said that there were also other capable candidates to take over the top posts.

Abdullah also said that he has instructed Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Mansor to lodge a police report against DAP chairperson Karpal Singh over his allegedly seditious remarks against the Sultan of Perak. "The statements that he (Karpal) has made gives the impression that the sultan does not know the law," he said."As such, many (including Umno) are upset.""I'm also told that others - Malays and non-Malays - who respect the constitution, also feel slighted by what has happened. They may also complain to the relevant authorities," said Abdullah at the sidelines of the 5th Malaysia International Halal Showcase at Matrade.
