Less than 24 hours after denying that parliament will be dissolved today, he did exactly just that just a few minutes from the time of this post. However, this is no surprise since there was a lot of speculation that today would be the day anyway. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi added that the official date for polling day would be announced tomorrow.
I don’t really care when the election date would be. The only thing that’s on my mind is that I have to perform my duty as a Malaysian and go out to vote on that day. Are you a registered voter?
UPDATE: Polling day is 8 March 2008.
In what’s becoming the most dramatic and gloomiest episode so far in Pakistani politics, renowned politician Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated. Her death was caused by shots fired to her chest and neck by a gunman who later blew himself up. Ms Bhutto’s killing occurred at Rawalpindi.

Two aircrafts were involved in a minor collision at Heathrow Airport in the UK. Fortunately, nobody was injured in the accident:
A spokeswoman for Sri Lankan Airlines said the “minor incident” involved flight UL502 to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, via the Maldives, which had 286 passengers and crew on board.
She said: “It is reported that the wing tips of the two aircraft brushed against each other while taxiing.
“No injuries were reported. All passengers have been transferred to city hotels until alternate travel arrangements are made during the course of the day.”
An eye-witness, aboard the Sri Lankan airliner, claimed it hit the BA aircraft from behind while manoeuvring on the runway.
