Malaysian PM denies ‘gentleman’s agreement’

KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Thursday denied he had made a “gentleman’s agreement” with former premier Mahathir Mohamad to stay as premier for only one term. Mahathir, who has had a public falling out with his successor, has said he did not expect the current prime minister to lead for more than one term, and suggested he step down. “No gentleman’s agreement,” Abdullah said when asked if the two statesmen struck a deal when he took over in 2003. The premier will attempt to win a second term in general elections expected to be held in March.
