Both Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian led with Wan Azizah's decision to step down in order to pave way for Anwar to stand in a by-election in Permatang Pauh.

Editorial

New Straits Times urged consumers to be prudent in their expenditure as a drop in world crude oil price from US$150 to US$125 a barrel does not translate to reduction of prices in goods and services.

Berita Harian urged everyone to appreciate the contribution of Malaysian soldiers and police officers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the nation.

Malaysia Nanban urged the government to reduce fuel price even though the world fuel price was unpredictable.

Makkal Osai highlighted the services rendered by Indian Overseas Bank.
