How long will he stay on and still not admitting. what is he trying to do?
people really hate him till death, BUT sometimes when he speaks the way he should be I still want him to remain at his position now.
He is good, but indecisive. His Son-In-Law ruining his political career and put his position to jeopardy. KJ is pain in the arse for AAB!
Johor Umno lobby in move to call for Abdullah's exit
Singapore Business Times -
PRIME Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will probably not serve out his full term as he is likely to be persuaded to step down in a managed, but dignified, exit.
According to officials of the ruling United Malays National Organisation (Umno), of which Mr Abdullah is president, a Saturday meeting of the Johor Umno liaison committee, the state's highest policy making body, resolved that Mr Abdullah should step down but in a manner that should not humiliate him in any way.
'The anger on the ground is just too strong for him to stay,' one of the officials said, 'but it must be done in a courteous manner.'
On a timetable for succession, the official was less clear, implying there was either no clear consensus or that Mr Abdullah could map out his own schedule if he so wished. Umno has decided to hold party elections in December.
The Johor lobby is immensely powerful in Umno as the state is not only the historical birthplace of the party but has the most senior office bearers within Umno so the resolution is significant and carries weight.
There are six ministers in the Cabinet from Johor, the most from anyone state, and at least one serving Umno vice-president - International Trade Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
If it pans out, Mr Abdullah's long goodbye will have striking parallels with the ouster of Tunku Abdul Rahman, the country's first prime minister, who saw the writing on the wall not long after the 1969 elections when his then ruling Alliance coalition fared dismally and announced that he would step down in September
It isn't clear if Mr Abdullah can hold out for that long. In addition, in the Tunku's case, the country was already being led by Abdul Razak Hussein, his deputy then, in the capacity as head of the National Operations Council.
Mr Abdullah is expected to be told formally of Johor Umno's decision by Umno liaison chief Ghani Othman, the state's Chief Minister, this Friday when the prime minister makes an official visit to the state.
It isn't clear how he will react as Johor Umno has traditionally been among his strongest supporters. Indeed, in recent days, Mr Abdullah has repeatedly vowed that he would not resign, insisting that he 'would stay and fight'
