Prime Minnister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi stepping down on March 2009

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi officially announced his decision not to defend his Umno presidency in March, thus effectively giving up his premiership then.

The 5 missions :

  • ESTABLISHING the Judicial Appointments Commission to enhance the stature of the judiciary.
  • ESTABLISHING the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission with greater powers of investigation and enforcement.
  • ESTABLISHING the Special Complaints Commission to enhance the integrity and effectiveness of enforcement agencies.
  • STRENGTHENING and enlarging the Social Safety Net to ensure aid to all, regardless of race and religion.
  • HOLDING a Barisan Nasional convention to improve inter-racial and inter-religious relations.
