Friday, August 29th, 2008

Permatang Pauh by-election – who is the silliest of them all?

Friday, August 29th, 2008

1. The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi?
The loss suffered by the Barisan Nasional in the Permatang Pauh by-election should not be read as an emerging trend for other constituencies.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi stressed that while the loss was something to be concerned about, the situation had not reached a “worrying [...]
