WOOO ... MAHATHIR WANTS NAJIB

Malaysia: Dr M: Pak Lah Should Give His Post Najib

PUTRAJAYA, MALAYSIA: Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi should follow the "gentlemen's agreement" between them, that Pak Lah should only be the Prime Minister for a term".

He said Abdullah was older than Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak, therefore Abdullah should give away his position as prime minister to Najib.

"However, I have difficulty to prove this agreement," Mahathir told at a press conference after launching the book of "Doctor Mahathir's selected letters to world leaders".

When asked whether he intended to be a candidate in the coming election, Mahathir said :"I want, but I can not."

Commenting on Abdullah was not able to control the cabinet, Mahathir said when a group of people working together, we should know how to control them.
