PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has handed over the powerful portfolio of finance minister to his deputy Najib Abdul Razak as part of the country's power transition plan which is to be completed by mid-2010.
Abdullah, who also announced he would be taking over the defence portfolio held by Najib in a swap of duties, however indicated he may hand over the reigns of power to his annointed successor earlier than the agreed deadline.
Speaking to reporters after the weekly cabinet meeting at his office today, Abdullah said he had informed the cabinet of the role swap, and that over time, he would be handing over "a few of my roles and duties as prime minister to Najib".
The role swap comes at a time when the country is facing tough challenges, politically and economically, against the backdrop of a gloomy world economic climate.

Sungguhpun 'baju' mereka bertukar, namun bau busuk tetap tidak akan hilang.............
cheers.
Dengan pertukaran jawatan macam ni mungkin dapat leih menguji tahap kemampuan Najib untuk memikul tanggungjawab yang lebih besar. Pak Lah perlu memastikan penggantinya betul2 bersedia sebelum melepaskan jawatan.
