Seriously altered stakes for Pak Lah (Part 2) (Malaysiakini.com) points to the fact that the forthcoming national and party elections hold the key for Abdullah Badawi to "gain true legitimacy in his own right" and overcome "factional brawling so intense that it could topple him sooner rather than later". This is not an opinion, it is a stated fact.
One can emphatize with the predicament he is in at the moment. Despite his amicable posture, there remains many who lurk in the shadowy corridors of power ready to pounce on the PM should the ballot go south. I wonder what is takes to govern this country while constantly looking over your shoulder? Like it or not, Abdullah's performance in the months, perhaps even now weeks, leading to the elections, may form the biggest argument for or against his stewardship at the helm of our government. This means addressing the relevance of mega projects, insisting and imposing transparency into the manner that government projects are awarded, while retaining the support of those power brokers within the party...
Mr Prime Minister, I do not envy your position. But as a loyal Malaysian, all I can say is do the right thing, and we will stand by you!
