It's a trimmer cabinet line-up. But Pak Lah increased the number of ministers in the PM's Dept. I'm not surprised Nazri Aziz gets to keep this portfolio. He should have been dropped. The appointment of Zaid Ibrahim and Amirsham Aziz are most welcome. My only hope is that Pak Lah will listen to their advise. And of course, Zaid and Amirsham are expected to give Pak Lah quality counsel.
But what is Muhammad Muhammad Taib a.k.a Mike Tyson doing in the cabinet? Why him? I disagree with his appointment. He makes stupid remarks. For example, in response to the letter sent by the MP of Gua Musang, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to Umno division leaders with a suggestion to have a party EGM to study what went wrong in the recent general election, Mike Tyson said not to listen to such thing.
If not all, most of the division leaders of Umno know about the letter. And what is wrong about calling for an EGM? Usually, a leader would avoid having a post-mortem if he fails miserably. And in this case, Pak Lah couldn't be bothered to hold one. He's in denial. He refused to acknowledge his flaws.
I had a big laugh when I heard Pak Lah said in a press conference today after announcing his cabinet line-up that he read reports that his policies are good but lack on implementation. Obviously, he was fed only with good feedbacks by his apple polishers.
I'm glad that Shahrir Samad is back after over a decade out of the cabinet. He's in a really tough portfolio - Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. Not easy keeping prices of essential goods as low as possible.
Rafidah Aziz did a very good job while at MITI. It's sad to see her go because I heard, only the directors under her ministry had to work within a short turnaround time compared to other ministries. Will Muhyiddin Yassin work as fast as her?
Lets see how they perform.
