Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is expected to announce the date on which he will step down as prime minister during his speech at the close of Umno general assembly tomorrow.
According to the Malaysian Insider, Abdullah wants to follow the Umno tradition and inform party members first of his retirement date.
Apparently, Umno presidents Tunku Abdul Rahman and Hussein Onn had done the same and informed their party first.
The transition date is likely to be on Apr 3, with the swearing-in ceremony for newly-appointed Umno president Najib as the sixth prime minister due to take place at 11 am at Istana Negara.
If true, the news will disappoint many Malaysians, who are against Najib leading the country because of the string of unresolved graft allegations against him, including the high-profile murder and commission case of slain Mongolian national, Altantuya Shaariibuu.
