KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's incoming leader Najib Razak said he expects to be sworn into office as prime minister Friday, cementing a smooth transfer of power.
Najib, currently deputy prime minister and president of the dominant United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party, said he would meet Malaysia's king early Thursday with outgoing Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Officials close to the prime minister have said Abdullah would tender his resignation during that meeting.
"Tomorrow (Thursday), the PM will invite me to accompany him to have an audience with the king and subject to the king's consent, then Friday will be the (swearing-in) ceremony," Najib told reporters.
"I have not had an audience with the king yet, so hopefully the king will graciously give his consent," he added.

Najib was last Thursday officially declared president of UMNO, a role that effectively clears the way for him to be premier because of its dominance of the political scene.
He said he would also Friday reveal details of the direction he wanted to take Malaysia amid economic crisis and political uncertainty, with the core of his roadmap being a programme aimed at uniting the multi-racial nation.
"I think this new thrust will ensure there will be a fairer distribution of government allocations and assistance to all communities," he said.

UMNO leads the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition which has ruled Malaysia for more than half a century since the former colony gained independence from Britain in 1957.
However, last year it put up its worst electoral performance for 39 years, leading to calls for Abdullah to step down.

The coalition of race-based parties -- which also represent ethnic Chinese and Indian communities -- were mauled by the opposition led by former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim.

ANAK MUDA BEKERJA UNTUK KEMENANGAN PAKATAN RAKYAT

Sungai Petani-Bukit Selambau.Diketika pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat hamper habis berceramah di 36 tempat semalam,jntera dan anak-anak muda ini turut membanting tulang dengan cara tersendiri,iaitu dengan memasang poster yang menunjukkan bahawa kenyataan-kenyataan yang di tulis semacam menghina.

Namun apabila di Tanya, jawapan yang diberi ialah”memang patut kerana media mereka hari-hari memfitnah kita,dan ini bukannya fitnah tetapi satu simbolik bahawa apa yang tertera ini adalah benar.”maka kerana itu kami anggap ianya patut di buat sebegini rupa.Kami anak muda .ada yang lepasan universiti dalam dan luar negara.maka kami melakukan ini kerana kami seolah-olah di perbodohkan”

Turut singgah di taman Peruda , dan sempat singgah di rumah Permatang Pauh.Ramai juga anak-anak muda di sini.Sengaja tidak diambil gambar di rumah Umno, jika diambil sudah tentu nampak golongan saluran 1 yang banyak,itu pun boleh dikira sekitar 5 orang ke 6 orang..Manakala jentera memasang bendear pula semacam anak-anak sekolah.entah lah tapi hakikatnya memang begitu.Anak –anak muda lebih banyak bergerak dengan parti oposisi berbanding pemerintah.

Kenapa ini terjadi???sebabnya kerana Umno gagal sebagaimana yang di laungkan pimpinannnya bahawa gagal mendekati anak-anak muda dan mungkin Tv memainkan peranan mengapa anak-anak muda ini membenci pimpinan pemerintah.Tambahan pula jika apa yang didakwa itu “TIDAK” oleh pemerintah , ianya seakan-akan menjadi “YA” kepada golongan anak muda ini.Misalnya jika di katakan tiadanya rasuah,sedangkan makin banyak rasuah di kalangan pemimpin yang jelas nampak jika dilihat dari harta benda yang dimiliki.Kemewahan yang terlampau barangkali????maka itu menjadi persoalan bag anak muda....

Masih banyak yang perlu di lakukan Umno untuk menawan hati anak muda bagi menyokong mereka……
