More than a political ploy

The ex-PM Mahathir Mohamad said the PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi wasn’t meant for more than one term and expecting the DPM Najib Tun Razak to take over sooner than later.

However, lately, he appears to have second doubt about his choice of successor, trying to be coy and apparently pulling Najib’s leg when he said the next PM can be somebody else besides him.

Then, the PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said he won’t overstay as PM and publicly naming DPM as his successor.

In return, the DPM said he is thankful and touched by the PM’s trust and confidence in him.

Dramatical but I don’t feel good about this.

It’s such a high profile political game trying to outdo each other, fulfilling one’s egoism to achieve their personal agendas while the country’s future is at stake.
