Parliament is being dissolved today despite the assurance by the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yesterday that there will be no dissolution of Parliament today.
This is the New Straits Times story today:
‘Parliament won’t be dissolved today’
BANGI: Parliament will not be dissolved today.
The prime minister dismissed intense speculation that he would seek to dissolve parliament on the basis of his penchant for the number 13.
“No such thing,” Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told reporters after the launch of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s Institut Islam Hadhari.
Pressed further if today’s cabinet meeting would be the last for the 11th parliamentary term, he asked back: “What makes you think it’s going to be the last?”
“There will be more (meetings to come).”
My sources tell me that Abdullah had an audience with the Yang di Pertuan Agong this morning on the dissolution of Parliament and the Prime Minister has called for a media conference at 12.30 pm to announce Parliament’s dissolution and the 12th general election.

If that is the case he has lost all credibility with the people of Malaysia. What next??

If what you say is true, we must be fools to trust a liar. Anyway this is not something unusual, coming from the helm of BN

Abdullah is a very confused man. Less than 24 hours he changed his mind, do you think investors will come to invest in our country with a freaky Prime Minister like Abdullah? I hope Agong will not allow him to disolve parliament in view that the Chinese New Year celebration is still on going.

Anyway I am quite amazed by the performance of KLSE, where in recent weeks other bourses in the region has been hit hard because of the subprime crisis, but KLSE movement was not affected at all, a lot of money must be used to stablize it. I am afraid the sell down of KLSE will come after the election.

Malaysia PM to call for snap poll Wednesday -source
Wednesday February 13 2008
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has received consent from the country’s king to dissolve parliament and call for fresh elections, a source close to the prime minister said on Wednesday.
Separately, an aide to the premier said Abdullah would hold a news conference later on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. local time (0430 GMT), though he declined to give further details. A senior editor at television station TV3 said the channel was on standby to air an important announcement from the premier.
The source said the Election Commission would decide on the poll date in coming days but it was likely to be held within the first 10 days of March.

Polling: 1.3 (1st March)
Days for Nominations and till Voting after Elections Commission meets : 13 days.
13, 13, 13. Heck Pak Lah will look forward to a landslide win. The stars are in his favour. His feng shui master said so.

If this is true, it should be of big concern to the public because it meant the PM lied IN PUBLIC. We know they hide the truth all the time but lying in public is something else.
What is happening to our society that we are not outraged by lying of our leaders and let them get away with it. What does it teach our children about what kind of values are acceptable.
Already in the Lingam affair, I heard over the TV someone described the recent revelation by his secretary that Lingam was guilty of contempt. Its far graver. Its perjury. Lingam on top of all that he has done has commited prejury to the RCI. So has Eusoff Chin, Dr. Mahathr and likely a few others.
We are a laughing stock of the world with a PM, supposedly with impecable religious credential becuase he does not sleep around, steal directly, that think nothing of lying and conspire to hide criminals for political reason.
Frankly, I rather this PM sleeps around and steal directly. At least then I know exactly what the loses to me.
Lying in Public! What do I tell my children????
#27 by Xiao He on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:40 pm
He’s so chicken as to dare not even admit it yesterday… What for claiming oneself to be a devout muslim or a religion teacher when one can publicly telling lies…

Here we go.
#31 by a-malaysian on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:50 pm
Confirm, Parliament dissolved. At least we are happy for about three weeks as bodohwi is no longer our pm and umno and its running dogs are just normal human like me and you.
So fellow Malaysian,
Do you still want liars, racist and corrupt leaders to lead our country?
Cast your vote for any opposition to ensure that these liars, corrupted and racist leaders are not re-elected.
50 years is ENOUGH
Vote For A Change
Vote For Any Opposition

#32 by DarkJustice on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:50 pm
Anyway, he is always a liar, remember what he said two years ago- no increase in petrol but later increase. how can we trust this type of PM.
Forget about him as it’s time to call for “Makaal Sakti” – People’s Power and deny the two third majority in Parliment and State Assemblies and teach them a lesson.
Let me share with you – the promises of allocation given to temples or to Chinese/Indian schools are not in cash but will get their crony contractors to do the job and in the end they will make a mess out of it and the temple has to spend more money to rectify their mess. So, dont be fooled by the newspaper report, they are giving allocations but to enrich their cronies.
Good luck DAP in this General Election outings and whack BN flat this time and God blessed DAP and all Malaysians to kick out the evil.
#33 by grace on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:51 pm
Denied that he was going to wed Jeane, but a few weeks later got married.
Now this!
Look at the beatifyl slogans he can coin. All those empty slogans are pure white lies too.
Call himself a caring PM. But when the South was inundated by flood, happily jetted to Australia to makan nasi kandar.
Oh yes, now at this point in time, you can see all the HIPCRISY AT ITS BEST BY BN CANDIDATE!!!
WEAR RED CHINESE STYLE OF COSTUME! GO TO CARRY BABIES! KISSING OLD LADIES HANDS! GIVING GOODIES TO CHINESE SCHOOLS! REAL “GELI” WHEN I SEE ALL THESE HIPOCRISY!
#34 by vehir on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:52 pm
PM told at the press conference the date for dissolution of Parliament must be confirmed by the King. Then only he can say anything. What he told the press yesterday, he replied, that his papers to dissolve Parliament was signed by the King today.
#35 by grace on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:58 pm
DON’T TRUST HIM ANYMORE! CAKAP TAK SAMA BIKIN!
VOTE BN OUT!
#36 by boh-liao on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 12:59 pm
Yes, we have habitual cheats and liars among people who hold the executive, judiciary, and administrative powers.
And the sad sad fact is that most Malaysians willingly remain subordinates of these habitual cheats and liars. They willingly believe the lies of these habitual cheats and liars and continue to vote BN to power, even >2/3 majority.

This morning news: Parliament will not be dissolved today.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi put an end to such speculation, telling reporters here yesterday: “Esok tak ada (No, it won’t be tomorrow)â€. [Esok is today]
Now, the latest news: Parliament dissolved, elections on.
There are still people who believe in AAB! Really buta.

Are Malaysian voters ready for CHANGE?
Or another 5 more years of complain, complain, complain?

When come to lying this PM is second only to VK Lingam. Lying to the whole country on the eve of general election. Is he foolish or just a habitual liar?
Let’s do our part to help DAP in this election campaign.
#44 by Malaysian on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 1:36 pm
it is very crucial for this election to at least deny BN 2/3 majority.
#45 by occbattle on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 1:38 pm
Made up my mind… Vote him out. Such a incapable leader with a host of silly antics. Better ask him to bring all the cronies including himself to go other countries. Not accepted in Malaysia anymore….

Liar liar, pants on fire
See you squirm, see you perspire
Not a word you say is true
There’s never been one out of you
Smoke & mirrors, bait and switch
You and your friends are getting rich
Picking pockets, pulling strings
And other more dispicable things
Liar Liar, pants on fire
Preaching only to the choir
Photo op in front of the steeple
How did you manage to fool these people?
Talk the lingo, dress the part
Even put your hand on your heart
Bomber jacket, emperor’s clothes
You can’t even reach the end of your nose
Liar liar, pants on fire
Chain of command doesn’t get any higher
Orders come down from the top
Punish the guy who pushes the mop
Throw away the key and forget about bail
The likes of you ought to rot in jail
Guilty! Guilty of the highest crimes
And the lowest ones at the very same time
Liar liar, pants on fire
Teleprompter, hidden wire
Who’s this G-d that speaks to you
Who would authorize the things you do?
Bend the rules, twist the facts
Make excuses, cover your tracks
Why won’t you let anybody see
The flag-draped coffins on tv?
Liar liar, been found out
Whistleblowers talked about
How you classify & cook the books
For the benefit of a bunch of crooks

A feng sui master made this prediction a short while ago:
DAP 37
PAS 34
PKR 17
Total Opposition 88 (39.7%) and 57% of popular vote
BN 134 (60.3%) and 43 % of popular vote
BN to lose Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu
Significant casualties : Samy Vellu, Kayveas, Najib (!!!)
DAP will win 5 seats in FT, win in PJ Utara, and Kota Melaka.
JB (!!!) and Seremban will fall to Opposition this time.
Wow. I hope this comes true.

Malaysian PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has dissolved parliament more than a year before its term was due to end. He gave no reason, but analysts say he is looking for a fresh mandate before Malaysia’s economy slows.
#49 by i_love_malaysia on Wednesday, 13 February 2008 - 1:53 pm
AAB has to call for election ASAP becoz they have finished all the goodies which they believed are the best for all Malaysian expecially Chinese which should have been given out for the past 50 years and used up all the money to boost KLCI. So no more good news from them except possible bad news like one of the them caught by CCTV in doing something illegal or haram.
VOTE BN OUT AND DAP IN! VOTE FOR CHANGE!
MALAYSIA CANT BE WORST THAN BEFORE WHEN IT IS UNDER BN FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS!

Great, games on been waiting for this moment for quite some time. These are what I have done last few months and will do to help DAP election campaign: joined as permanent member, attended the fund raising dinners, donation, convinced my relatives to vote for DAP in Melaka and Teluk Intan during Chinese New Year and lastly put a big ‘X’ for DAP in the election day.
