Well, Malaysiakini did it again. It broke the news that PM Badawi will not contest in the next UMNO elections and is quitting in March. Its insider information:

“PM to step down in March, DPM to take over. He won’t stand for Umno election,” a component party leader told Malaysiakini via an SMS message. The meeting is still underway.

It is also learnt that the BN leaders are presently thanking Abdullah for his leadership.

I was thinking that he’ll live to fight another day, but looks like he’s closing shop.

thanks for the feedback bro. I’m not sure who is the owner of apanama202 blog, so unable to quote from it. MK on the other hand has a bit of responsibility. Anyway, following what you mentioned, apanama2020 broke the news about 40 minutes before MK.

In fact Wong Chun Wai the STAR’s editor also reported the news before Mkini. Check out at

The reason why these blogs and Mkini broke the news first is because the mainstream papers cannot report news on hearsay or SMS. That’s why we need to exercise causion in reading blogs and on-line “news” portals.

I understand, Mr. Raja Petra has good personal character and has a good reputation and runs humanitarian activity.

I understand that the below issues were directly connected with murder case of my daughter:

– Who did arrange visa issue for my daughter while she visited in French?
– Who was attending in the trip to French and what did they do?

If it could make clear those issues, they would understand every thing. Why is there so much force and influence in the case? Because there was a serious issue. Thus they destroyed my daughter.

Unfortunately, they pressed down Mr.Raja Petra’s statement. I think this issue needs to get attention from international human right organizations.

He (RPK) shouldn’t be a victim of politic for justice. It would be justice if they release Mr.Raja Petra.

As we are, all Mongolian worry for him and his justice, we lack of information on truth and situation.

Well, if Mr Setev has such evidence, why didnt he submit to the court or have a press conference to reveal it ? The same applies to RPK, if he is so fearless, the best he could do is to reveal the evidence. He could ask Anwar to do it as well. It is all a drama, throw mud and then later claim innocence. In the court now, he is even denying he posted the article…so much for being brave….
