Pak Lah chose to remain...?

as the PM. Do you think that he made the decision himself or did someone else (I think Khairy) pressured him to stay?

    He has the support of his comrades and cronies...well even Mahathir ask him to step down and take the resposibilites.

    All i can say is our Malaysian or rather BN mindset don't have the gentleman style to resign in dignity. They are still following the style of 60's and 70's leadership!

    I salute to Koh Tsu Koon for accepting the defeat and shows the democracy works...

    In today's world where technologies have made leaps and bound our leadership under BN still in backward stage.

    They are still dreaming of having a comfortable ruling power and controlling all the components but they didn't realise we have internet and sms to relay the power of message.

    Now the voters have send the message strongly, i hope they will learn from the mistakes of neglecting the citizens problems...

    He might choose to stay if he is thick-skinned like Samy Vellu. He didn't do a good job as a prime minister and there's no reason he should remain . NOBODY wants him, and he 'd better get the message right. Najib won't be any better than he was, neither. When Pak Lah leaves, make sure he brings Khairy along with him.That man is resented by many and is a disgrace, in this country.

    I believe the result has shown it all that we are unsatisfied with the current government and needed change. And yes, the opposition has won and the people's voice had been heard. That should be enough for now. The truth is, who do we have (as a good leader) to lead Malaysia now (if Pak Lah does step down)? Najib won't deliver, and we are yet to see what Anwar can do. Change is needed especially during time like this. However, going to the extreme will only over turn the boat and kill everyone on board. Let Pak Lah learn his lesson and do what is needed of him to straighten what is so wrong for now.

    If he choose to remain and things are the same as before i.e. nothing significant done to reduce the impact of the rising living cost etc. then it is NO GOOD. A big chunk of the rakyat has given him a clear message and he must take heed, otherwise there will be chaos (share market already down 90 points now !!!)

    I think Pak Lah made the decision himself as he is not a child (in Western world a leader in this situation will 100% let go but then we are not westerner). The others asking him to remain are most likely have interest in seeing him staying i.e. takut projek masing-masing terbengkalai ???

    He doesn't have much choice. He just can't quit now otherwise the country will be thrown into chaotic political instability of momentous proportion. He have to let the political situation stabilizes first before relinquishing his premiership. His stepping down is a foregone conclusion otherwise the forthcoming UMNo elections, he would be unceremoniously kick out of UMNO by mobs of angry and frustrated UMNO supporters. To save face, in a few months time when conditions are more favorable he would announce his political retirement to make a gracious exit. No one can save him not even Khairy or whosoever for that matter. He is 100% responsible for the current political dilemma.

    As stated in the news. I'm not surprised to hear that.

    There's 1001 possibilities why he remain to stay.

    KJ? He's nothing compared to Najib.

    NJ just slithering around both PL and KJ's neck.

    And for Perak, the future either uncertain or could be better.

    The anxiety and the thrill is in the air.

    Politics, just like candles, it burns to shine, when its gone,

    it will be replaced by fresh new candles and ready to be replace again.

    Its not our duty to worry about bodohwi,let umno insiders finishes him off.

    It is best for bodohwi to remain as PM until umno general meeting.As the Lingam scandal is not finish plus Altantuya murder case is still not finish.

    We cannot just elevates Najis to the post of PM , until the murder case is settle.

    Of course by delaying in kicking out bodohwi is also dangerous, as Kera Jantan will waste no time in plundering the country.

    Actually Pah helah made the decision himself , not because of Kera Jantan.

    Pak helah dont want to let down his lady jean danker.Maybe jean danker will ask him to step down in few more months.

    They'll called him a big loser if he chose not. Sometime, when come a big lose, come a big responsibility. Pak lah should stay to prove people that they made the 'wrong' decision during the GE..
