It wasn't a rumour that Pak Lah would quit and give way to Najib Tun Razak to helm the Government yesterday. I'm not surprised if Khairy Jamaludin told Pak Lah to change his mind. So, he sworn in this morning to be the PM for the second term.
Since that's the case, I hope Pak Lah will appoint Khairy as a full minister. Because, Khairy has been assistant PM for way too long now. Give him a portfolio and let him focus on his new responsibility while Pak Lah should spend time away from Khairy and think for himself over his favourite teochew porridge.
What can I say? Pak Lah is still the PM and Khairy won the Rembau parliamentary seat. Do you think Khairy wants to be an ordirnary MP? Do you think he'll settle for the post of parliamentary secretary? Of course not.
I still don't understand why Pak Lah has to listen to Khairy. The people has spoken. Why can't he listen to the voice of the people. Look what happened to Samy Vellu, his deputy and vice presidents. It's no longer an indication that people don't want them. The message is loud and clear.
Lucky for the MCA leaders that they survived the strong current. Other MCA candidates along with some Umno personalities were toppled.
If only Pak Lah listened to Bersih and Hindraf, and dropped all the dirty fellows from contesting in the recently concluded election, Barisan Nasional could have got the 2/3 majority. But no. He prefers to listen to Khairy.
Better still, if Pak Lah himself withdrew himself from contesting. Or is he waiting for the Umno election in August to test his popularity?
But since he's sworn in this morning, we'll see how he's going to redeem himself. It should be easy now that there's no more Samy Vellu, Zainuddin Maidin, Aziz Shamsuddin, Shahrizat Jalil dan lain-lain.
Can't wait to follow the debates in Parliament with more voice from the Opposition (and Khairy).
