(Sin Chew) KUALA LUMPUR: Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said Monday (22 Sept) it is up to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to decide whether to hand over power before 9 Oct.

Speaking to reporters here, he said, he believed that Abdullah knew what was happening on the ground.

Muhyiddin's comments came after several Umno supreme council members said over the weekend that there was no pressure on Abdullah to step down before the agreed transition period timeframe of June 2010.

Abdullah himself had indicated that he might decide whether he would leave earlier than the June 2010 deadline.

Muhyiddin, who is International Trade and Industry Minister, was speaking to reporters after delivering his keynote address at the Malaysia-Japan Business Forum, organised by the Malaysia-Japan Economic Association (Majeca) at the Mandarin Oriental here Monday.

Will the thick-skin Pak Lah feel the pressure? Hydraulically speaking, an additional 100bar is required to move Pak Lah for 1m.

Muhyiddin the hound of Mahatir has become the back stabber of AAB today. In no time AAB sure will cage him at the back lane and feed him with dog food!

In fact, Muhyiddin is acting for his master Mahatir and this is the ball game between AAB, Mahatir and Najib.

To topple Mahatir, it's easy job for AAB, just when Mahatir says A, AAB will do B, when M says C, AAB does D.....like that continues, very soon Mahatir's blood vessel will burst and 1st game over!

To topple his unfaithful No.2, it's even easier, just wash all his dirty linen in the public or in the court this coming Oct., perhaps get RPK to help to pour out full basket load of dirty linens, the guy will be shied away or depending on his luck, will be put away for good from eying at the big chair, though rattling! Game over No.2 set! AAB then will enjoy his jolly ride far beyond 2010 until next GE, or until PR takes over whichever is earlier!...

Although Abdullah has been mediocre at best I still prefer him being PM than Najib. I think most Malaysians share the same feelings too. The common perception is that Najib is surrounded by too many controversies to be PM. Abdullah and BN needs to reform and along the way get rid of his deputy and all the deadwoods in his cabinet. That way he still may have a chance to get back the peoples' support. Otherwise he's history.

Why not let PM contest if he wants to contest? All position should be contested, not "hand me down" style like what UMNO did for the last many years. If UMNO truly believes in democracy, every position should be contested in every party elections.

The hand me down syndrome was the cause of the problem in UMNO today. It was because TDM hand over the post to AAB that led UMNO to this stage. If there was an election, probably someone else would have been the President and UMNO would not have gone to this stage.

All this calls asking AAB to step down are also undemocratic. If he has been unanimously voted to be the president, all should abide to the election results. Calls asking the President to step down is no different from Pakatan Rakyat asking Barisan Nasional to step down for PR to be the government.

UMNO always have double standards that only suits themselves.

It's an open secret that Muhyiddin wants to be the #2 while Najib got no choice but to go for the #1. The problem is Najib has to behave like a good schoolboy ( without the KERIS ) to AAB.
