KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's prime minister took the oath of office for a new five-year term Monday, rejecting calls to resign after an unprecedented electoral setback that has shaken the country's political landscape.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was sworn in at 11.10 a.m. local time (0310GMT) in front of King Mizan Zainal Abidin, the constitutional monarch, and dozens of government dignitaries in the national palace's glittering throne room. The ceremony was telecast live.

"I pledge to carry out my duties honestly and with all my abilities,'' Abdullah said, reading out the oath. "I pledge to protect and uphold the Constitution.''

End.
