I believe that these moves should help Badawi, who is facing stiff challenges from within his party as well as from the opposition, Pakatan Rakyat. He is clearly signaling that he has heard the people's concerns & is now working towards a meaningful solution. In so doing, Badawi is able to project a good image for himself- staying above the fray & busy repairing the damages suffered by the Barisan Nasional & UMNO from the recent General Election. His opponents in UMNO would have to quiet down or else they will appear like a bunch of trouble-making misfits. By adopting this reform agenda, Badawi will also be removing the grievances on which Pakatan Rakyat can capitalize on.
If Badawi can implement his reform agenda, there is a good chance that his administration may survive. With greater transparency, improved accountability & a reduction in corruption, the nation will benefit as more foreign investment will flow in. This should translate into increased economic growth & a higher valuation for the shares in our stock market. As such, this could be a good time to accumulate stocks.

Definitely. Badawi has finally decided that the needs of the people & the nation must take precedent over those of his comrades (or, ex-boss). In addition to the need to outflank his opponents, Badawi is trying to build a legacy for the future generation. What better legacy than to be the Prime Minister that restore our faith in our institutions, such as our judiciary, the ACA and hopefully our police force.
