March is new deadline for Pak Lah to quit - Muhyiddin

MInsider | Umno vice president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today the postponement of the party elections to March next year indicates a new deadline had been set for party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi to step down.

"I sense magnanimity in making this decision which is very important for the party," said the International Trade and Industry Minister.
