ABDULLAH: No need for emergency Parliamentary session

THERE is no need for an emergency session of the Parliament next week, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said in response to PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s call today for a special session of the Parliament to hold a no-confidence vote against the prime minister.

“The Parliament will begin their session after Hari Raya,” he said at a press conference after chairing the UMNO Supreme Council. The Parliament is sitting on Oct 13.

He added that any decision he makes on the transition plan would be discussed with his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Razak and conveyed to the party’s supreme council.

Abdullah, who is also the prime minister, said he need not explain again to the supreme council on the plan.

“I’m aware and keeping my ears to the ground,” he said, referring to the whatever is happening in relations to the plan.
