面对大选的不理想成绩，各执政党的党魁都受到党内要求辞职的声浪。 继国大党和马华后，身为老大的巫统当然也无法避免。
毫无意外地，首相阿都拉再一次面对大选前就要求他下台的前首相马哈迪。 然而，即使前首相马哈迪父子不停“逼宫”，但是首相阿都拉今日强调，他没有辞职的必要，并且将会继续履行首相的职责。
他重申，“我还在这里，我还在这里，我还在这里。他们全部做出揣测，说我跑了，说我辞职了。为何我需要辞职？”
“我的政府获得多数议席，虽然没有获得三分之二，但是很巩固。这是我们得到的支持。难不成我要跑掉，剩下我的责任？”
一如往常，首相阿都拉本身还是像大选前低调地回应前首相马哈迪的炮轰，虽然身边的幕僚以司法丑闻和针对前首相也需要为大选前发表不利国阵的言论而负责等课题做出反击。可是首相阿都拉却没有大力评击要求他下台的指责。
巫统宣传主任莫哈末泰益也力挺阿都拉，并且表示败选不该全归咎于阿都拉。他也分析说，造成这次大选不理想的成绩的其中原因是国阵并没有完全善用网络、手机简讯和资讯工艺。
的确，莫哈末泰益说出了其中一个原因，那就是自安华事件和1999年大选开始，许多选民就相信主流媒体的言论自由受到挟制，而转向网路媒体。 无可否认，这些都是前政府留下的烂摊子，即使相对下目前主流媒体的言论自由已经比以前有所改进，可是人民还是选择相信网络媒体的报导。
然而，除了电子媒介，这次大选的失利也因为执政党没有很妥善地处理一些重要的课题如民生经济问题，贪腐问题和种族人权问题。不难发现这些课题也是造成台湾民进党在立委大选失利的原因，很可惜国阵并没有以此作为借镜。同时，执政党里新旧参选人内讧和扯后腿的现象也是造成国阵流失选票的原因。
分析以上种种原因，要首相阿都拉下台负责的确是不公平的做法，毕竟各成员党和前政府都有责任去承担这次大选的失利。

BN’s failure is not solely due to our PM’s fault. The root of the problem had been deeply implanted since the days of Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s administration. Now, Dr M wants to blame Pak Lah for everything. Even if Dr M were to contest in the 12th GE, I wouldn’t bet he would surely have won. And if you had asked Dr M to step down during his term of tenure, I would bet anything you like that he 100% wouldn’t.
All in all, ask yourself this question: ‘Is Dr M making his stand taking into account all Malaysians?’ Or it’s just to save himself because a clean Malaysian government will expose a lot of the dirty linen accumulated during the previous administration?

Dr M seems to be the ‘man of many parts’. He sets rules to suit his own purpose and changes them when the rules and policy are not in favour of his grand plan. He caused deep damage to the judiciary. He spent billions of dollars of our nation’s reserve as well as Petronas’ funds on mega-projects such as Putrajaya, the Twin Towers etc.
He set the quota system for Umno to prevent him from being challenged as its president. And now when Pak Lah is now in the same position as he was, Dr M is calling for a change so that he can encourage others to challenge Pak Lah. Whether the PM is effective or not is another point of contention but for a person like Dr M to speak like he does now, it really shows the real character of a person. Is he a person that is worth respecting in spite of his years as our PM?

Tun Dr Mahathir must know that we Malaysians are much happier under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi than under his own 22-year- rule. There is more freedom of expression as newspapers have more freedom. The people feel a cleaner air in the wind as compared to his rule when the people feared him and nobody dared asked him to resign. TDM is a specialist in criticism especially when it comes to Abdullah. As an elder statesman, why is he not able to advice Abdullah and Umno?

支持阿都拉不反击的作风，马来西亚就是需要一个谦卑执政的领袖。

同意Richard Wee 说的。

支持首相阿都拉，许多选民这一次投票都没想到有这样的效果。 如果拿阿都拉的政府和前政府比较，还是会给阿都拉一个合格的分数。 个人认为目前，阿都拉还是最适合的人选。

Support Abdullah!

PM Abduallh, keep up the good works, the people are behind you!
April 4, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I think Pak Lah has done a good job in overall.
April 4, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Democracy prevails and Pak Lah has won majority of Malaysians’ votes. Why should he take all the responsibilities?

Dr M has to be responsbile when making his remarks as his words are still trustworthy to many Malay.

Good for people to know.
