A highly-placed media friend disagrees with the Screenshots source story (from two hills) that anticipated the Parliament to be dissolved Feb 13, with Polling Day falling on March 1, a Saturday.

But he does agree that Abdullah Badawi will fly to Africa to hand-over the OIC chairmanship in Dakar, Senegal, circa March 8 to 14 -- that's after the general election, and in his capacity as your second-term Prime Minister with fresh mandate.

The Little Bird expects Parliament to be dissolved immediately after Chap Goh Mei (the 15th day of Lunar New Year), and Polling Day will be on the following Saturday, March 8.

Note that Koh Tsu Koon of Gerakan is squeezed out in the main picture.
