Pak Lah in his lets-test-your-popularity a la Akademi Fantasia sans sms way, dropped Rafidah Aziz from the cabinet. She's a performer and she was excluded. I just realised that Pak Lah wasn't being fair to her.
At her age, asking her to contest in the general election when he doesn't have the intention to keep her in the cabinet is a very bad taste. What's worse is that, she's the Wanita Umno head. I suspect, during the Umno elections in August, Rafidah is expected to withdraw from the race because she's no longer a minister. That is very typical of Umno.
Shahrizat Jalil lost in the general election. But she's been appointed as an advisor to the PM on women's issues with the status of a minister. What is this? What about Dr Ng Yen Yen who's been appointed as Minister of Women, Family and Community Development (is that the official title?)? Shahrizat's appointment is an insult to Dr Ng, I think.
Looks like Rafidah will have to give way to Shahrizat for the post of Wanita Umno in August. While Azalina Othman Said will be the deputy. It's so funny how Rafidah asked the media to check with Umno HQ if Azalina is in Wanita Umno.
To me, this act of Pak Lah is ripping Umno apart. But it's okay. Someday, Umno and other racial based party in BN must be dissolved to form a truly Malaysian party.
