Pak Lah: I'm working towards Dr M's 2020

RK Anand
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today said he is working towards achieving his predecessor Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Vision 2020 goal.
Abdullah said this when asked to respond to Mahathir’s scathing criticism of the prime minister in a recent interview with malaysiakini.
“We are on track of achieving the important objective of 2020 left by Tun (Mahathir). And that’s what I am doing now,” he told a press conference after officiating the 61st MIC general assembly in Kuala Lumpur.
However, Abdullah did not elaborate on the matter.
Mahathir had accused his handpicked successor of “going in the opposite direction” on matters that the two had agreed upon would be carried out.
“There may be changes in approaches, or even in policies, but the general policies of the party have to be carried out.
“What he has done is to go completely in the opposite direction. That was not something I expected,” said the former premier, who stepped down in 2003.
Mahathir’s remarks were the latest in a year-long running battle with Abdullah over allegations of corruption and the running of the country.
From the sluggish state of the economy to charges that Abdullah’s family members were cashing in on his position, Mahathir has taken repeated jabs at his successor.
