How Pak Lah prevented turmoil after BN’s disastrous 2008 outing
#1

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has been credited with preventing turmoil following Barisan Nasional’s disastrous outing in the 2008 general election, when the coalition lost its two-thirds parliamentary majority and control of five states.

Abdullah, who was BN chairman, is said to have acted like a statesman despite the huge electoral defeats.

When Abdullah, known as Pak Lah, was informed of the loss, he smiled and told BN not to worry, according to Kalimullah Hassan, a former advisor who is quoted in the newly-published second volume of Lim Kit Siang’s biography.
