KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 - Umno vice president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today the postponement of the party elections to March next year indicates a new deadline had been set for party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi to step down."It was earlier decided 2010, but at today's meeting the president and deputy president indicated that the postponement from December to March is to facilitate earlier transition, you can analyze anyway you want, but as far as I am concern, maybe a new deadline has been set, but let the president make the announcement," he told reporters after the supreme council special meeting today.
"I sense magnanimity in making this decision which is very important for the party," said the International Trade and Industry Minister.
When asked whether he was satisfied with the decision, as it is still unclear whether March 2009 is the new deadline, Muhyiddin said: "There must be some element of trust on the decision made today, there is no need for unnecessary speculation."
"Most importantly, we have to wait before the divisional meetings as the divisions need a clear sign whether the president will defend his position, it is not for me to say, but wait for his announcement," said Muhyiddin.
"Let's not pre-empt what is going to be. I cannot go beyond that," he said.
He added that the postponement reflects the sentiment on the ground and will not affect Abdullah's integrity.
"Whatever decision we make it must not split the party and adversely affect the president's image," said Muhyiddin.
"This is the best time to close ranks, because we have a bigger agenda to bring back the confidence and rebuilding the Barisan Nasional," he added.
Muhyiddin was the first senior Umno leader to urge Abdullah to reconsider the 2010 deadline.
He is also widely speculated to be considering a tilt for the party's deputy presidency.

Muhyiddin memanglah nak Abdullah "chow" secepat mungkin sebab dengan cara itulah Muhyiddin boleh jadi Presiden UMNO.
tiada apa yang rahsia tentang itu.
tapi yang nampak tak seronok sebab nampak sangat Muhyiddin beria sangat hendakkan jawatan yang lebih tinggi.
betul ke dia dah bersedia untuk menjadi presiden ataupun hanya "dicucuk" oleh pihak lain?
Saya rasa ramai orang nak Abullah 'chow'. Kesian pulak tengok Badawi ni,,tadi beliau solat jumaat di masjid negara, sayu pulak tengok dia.

Enough with the rhetorics, already ! You openly asked for transition before December '08, so be different, stand firm and stick to it. Dollah will continue to flip and flop. This latest flop is to find out how many nominations he can get before the contest in December, surely you can see that ! As for Dollah, why prolong the pain ? Bite the bullet and pull out the arrow ! You can't delay the inevitable any longer.Do the last decent thing and pack your bags, Dol.Muhyiddin should go for Deputy, no more ifs or buts.
Tunku,
Doesnt the idiot know that the longer the party elections is extended, the bigger the rift that will be created among the UMNO members. Is that his real intention and to buy time. Doesnt the idiot see what he is actually doing to the Malays. Who does he take us Malays for, idiots like him?
Sorry for the harsh tone but that's what he has created. Mark my words that I will tell children and grandchildren that this moron and his cohorts are the real culprits that destroyed our Bangsa Melayu.
