Tun Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi (born 26 November 1939) is a Malaysian politician who served as Prime Minister from 2003 to 2009. He was also the President of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the largest political party in Malaysia, and led the governing Barisan Nasional parliamentary coalition. He is informally known as Pak Lah, 'Pak' meaning 'Uncle' while 'Lah' is taken from his name 'Abdullah'.

After Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad sacked Anwar Ibrahim, he appointed Abdullah as Deputy Prime Minister. Abdullah went on to succeed Mahathir as Prime Minister in 2003.

In the 2004 general election, Abdullah scored a significant victory. In the 2008 general election, the Barisan Nasional won a slim majority of seats, thus enabling Abdullah to remain in office as Prime Minister. He stepped down in favor of his successor, Najib Tun Razak, during the UMNO General Assembly held on 1 April 2009. On 3 April 2009, he was succeeded by Najib Tun Razak as Prime Minister. Abdullah was then conferred the title Tun by his majesty Mizan Zainal Abidin for his service to the nation.

The country has witnessed 2000 lawyers, 40000 Bersih demonstrators and 30000 Hindraf supporters went to the street to demand a clean-up for the judiciary, to demand a free and fair election and to demand a new and fair deal for the marginalized Indians in Malaysia. This what Lim Kit Siang started with his speech organized by the DAP in NUBE building, Brickfields on 12th December 2007 when he said that although Pak Lah claimed that he has 'Big Ears', his 'Big Ears' do not hear the people. "Pak Lah had promised four years ago that he will be PM for all that he will listen to truth. He hear nothing, he is not a PM for Chinese, he is not a PM for Indians, he is not a PM for Kadazans, he is not a PM for Ibans and he is not a PM for poor and marginalized Malays. He is only a PM for Abdullah Ahmad Badawi & Company." Kit Siang also urged Nazri, Devamany to apologise. He also mentioned what the Indians can do in the general election, that is to shake BN up with the Indians vote for Opposition especially in about 60 constituencies in the peninsula which Indians voters constitute more than 10 percents of the voters. He even named the parliament constituencies in Selangor and Federal Territory. He also criticized the Attorney-General, Abdul Gani Patail for his claim that Hindraf has <b>...</b>

4.22 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Election Fever @ Malaysia Abdullah Dissolves Malaysian Parliament for Election By Stephanie Phang and Soraya Permatasari Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dissolved parliament in preparation for a general election, 15 months before his five-year term expires. Abdullah's coalition, in power since Malaysia gained independence in 1957, plans to win a two-thirds majority, he told reporters in Putrajaya, outside Kuala Lumpur, today. The country's election commission must hold a poll within 60 days and will set a date tomorrow. An election is a gamble for Abdullah, who led the Barisan Nasional coalition to its biggest parliamentary victory in 2004. The country's Indian minority has taken to the streets to protest discrimination, and critics have said Abdullah failed to keep a pledge to crack down on corruption. ``Unless he can regain the political initiative fast and win big in the forthcoming elections,'' said Andrew Aeria, a political analyst for the London School of Economics and IdeaGlobal, ``he will face a serious challenge to his leadership of UMNO very soon.'' While the coalition is certain to win the election, a stronger opposition performance could threaten Abdullah's leadership of the United Malays National Organisation, or UMNO. ``Pledges were made and people want to see if they are being implemented,'' said Ramon Navaratnam, president of anti- corruption group Transparency International Malaysia, of Abdullah's promises to clean up <b>...</b>
