		In power now for nearly a month, Abdullah Badawi has had plenty of time to shake up the system and rid it of some of the excesses of the previous administration of Mahathir Mohamad, who retired as prime minister at the end of October.
		Moreover, Abdullah has yet to even be confirmed as leader of the UMNO by the party rank-and-file.
		Abdullah, who was only appointed - rather than elected - as UMNO deputy president after the ouster in 1998 of the then incumbent, Anwar Ibrahim, has not been tested in party polls for the UMNO leadership.

		Since taking over, Badawi without much fanfare, began to tighten the rules for big tenders, told the police to clean up, urged the judiciary to function without fear or favour and, thus far, has not interfered in the way the media reports.
		Himself an Islamic jurist, Badawi argues that dramatic steps were justified because the AIDS problem was critical and that Islam allowed for unconventional methods in emergencies where survival was at stake.
		Badawi's seriousness, said Lim, would be judged by how he responds to a damning report by a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the police force that said the body was completely inefficient and corrupt and made numerous recommendations for systematic shake-up.

		ABDULLAH BADAWI: I think you will agree with me if I say that perhaps the most profound, and far-reaching in its implications, is the current tension between what are broadly referred to as the West and the Muslim world.

		Abdullah seems to recognize this, hence his call for a mental revolution among Malays; and his promotion of Hadhari, or progressive Islam, which, Abdullah says, will breed moderation and mastery of knowledge and greater integration with the larger world.
		Abdullah also urged Malays recently not to retreat into Islam; not to focus more on the afterlife, with its promises of virgins and gardens and rivers flowing underneath, than their responsibilities to this one.
		Several of Abdullah's hand-picked cabinet members lost at the polls; and the election was said to be marred by the worst case of vote-buying in recent memory - this at a point when party members say fighting corruption is at the top of their agenda.

		Abdullah, 59, and Anwar, 51, have never seen eye-to-eye; the fact that Abdullah has been given Anwar's job is probably no coincidence.
		When Ahmed Badawi died, his political associates urged Abdullah to return to Penang: "Come home or we are going to forget you." In 1978, Abdullah resigned from the civil service to run for Parliament.

		Given the fact that Badawi has gone on a limb to snuff everything Mahathir set out for the ’supposed’ betterment of the country after he steps down, what other choice is there aside from working with next best thing.
		It’s a political gamble though, who knows Badawi might be able to coup with all the Malaysia issues well when given enough time by Malaysians and fella UMNO compatriots, then Najib might have to wait another few more years..
