BREAKING NEWS: Mahathir quits Umno

He said he was quitting the party, which he led for almost 22 years until handing over the reins to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in 2003, as a sign of no confidence in his successor's leadership.

"I will only come back to the party when there is a change in leadership," the ex-premier told a crowd at a forum in his home state of Kedah this morning.

He also called on all Umno ministers, deputy ministers and all levels of party leaders to join him in leaving the party.

However he asked these members not to join any other party.

"Wait till Abdullah to quit as the prime minister and party president and then we can return to Umno," he said.

Abdullah's most vocal critic

Mahathir, 82, joined Umno at its inception in 1946 and in recent years has been Abdullah's most vocal critic.

He entered active politics as a member of Parliament for Kedah's Kota Star Selatan in 1964.

He lost the seat in the disastrous 1969 general elections, and was expelled from the party after attacking then president and prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman.

Mahathir was invited back into the party by second prime minister, Abdul Razak, and re-elected to Parliament in 1974 for the seat of Kubang Pasu, also in Kedah.

Soon after he was appointed education minister. Within four years he was deputy leader of the party, and in 1981, became prime minister.

When Umno split into two as a result of a bitter factional feud and the party deregistered after a legal battle a year later, Mahathir formed Umno Baru and he was the new party's first member.

Meanwhile, rival leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah who narrowly lost to Mahathir in the leadership contest, went on to set up Semangat 46.Razaleigh and his party returned to Umno's fold in 1996 and the veteran Umno leader is now challenging Abdullah in the party polls to be held in December.

Mahadi: Pak Na must go down. Pak Na must go down!
Pak Na: Down where la? :)

Meanwhile:

A senior Umno leader dismissed suggestions that the party would break up, saying Mahathir's departure "is not that important." He indicated that the party was glad to be rid of Mahathir's disruptive influence.



"I welcome his decision. It is high time for him" to leave, said Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, a Cabinet minister and a member of Umno's supreme council.

"He is old enough to decide. He has every right to do it but he shouldn't urge members to follow him. It's up to the members."

Prosecution not a certainty against Lingam six, says DPM

THE recommendation by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Lingam video clip to investigate six people including Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad does not necessarily mean they will be prosecuted, the deputy prime minister said. Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the functions of the commission and the judiciary in the hearing of cases against the six were different.


"We set up the commission and it has reported its findings. We cannot conceal them from the public or not accept the recommendations.

Dean: That means twisting and turning lah :)
Najis: No no no. I didnt twist and turn anything. I deny.

"However, this does not necessarily mean there will be prosecution or cases (brought against the six)," Najib said.

BolehJokes humors and thoughts:
The people: That means? Case closed?
Najis: Can say so la. hehe.
The people: Like that also can ar?
Najis: Boleh lah. This is bolehland mah, where anything is possible.
