KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 16 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has asked all members of parliament to come up with appropriate recommendations to tackle the economic slowdown when debating the motion of thanks on the address of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin starting tomorrow.

Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BNBBC) information chief Ahmad Maslan said the prime minister told members of parliament that their recommendations could be included in the mini budget to be tabled by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on March 10.

"The prime minister stressed that we need to give emphasis on the economy as the world is facing a slowdown."He wants us to share our views and experience in our respective areas in tackling the economic problem," he told reporters after attending a briefing session with the prime minister Monday.The second session of the 12th parliament was opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong today.-- BERNAMA

I read this with so much amusement.

"He wants us to share our views and experience in our respective areas in tackling the economic problem"

I wonder does he really need that.
I mean like most of the people who are in the 'know' knew that he received direct instruction from the Level 4 chaps besides his son in law, but could this also be his gimmick in portraying that he does listens to his subordinates.

Then again, on the other hand, wasn't he paid to be the Prime Minister, the person that should be doing most of the thinking whatnot?
Or perhaps he couldn't care less because he just could not care less?
