Power transfer or an impending loss of power?

The time line of the transfer of power from Badawi to Najib is confirmed. While no time line was given, the voices from the grass roots indicate the unhappiness over the dismal performance in the March 8, 2008 general elections.

The question that looms, however, is whether Najib would be able to take over the presidency as he wuld have to face a contest from current vice-president Muhyiddin Yassin and several other UMNO personalities.

Externally would Anwar Ibrahim, the de-facto leader of PKR be the spoiler by regaining the control of Parliament. After all the Pakatan Rakyat is only 30 seats short of a simple majority in the Parliament.
