Jumping ship?

Being the head of government in Malaysia is a tough job. There's a lot of balancing job to do. But this does not mean that I sympathise with Pak Lah over the recent development in the Malaysian politics.

The appointment of ministers in the federal government requires a great deal of consideration. You've got to make sure that there's a right composition of appointments from all the member parties. And then, you got to have the right number of representatives from every state.

Now, Sabah and Sarawak were the best performers in BN during the recent general election. And they're not given enough seats in the current cabinet.

Thus, the demands by politicians in those two States. Good thing they made it public. And Pak Lah must respond to their demands before 11 April.

Pak Lah must act fast. The allegations that some BN MPs are expected to jump party must be taken seriously if BN wants to retain its simple majority in the Parliament.

Are these politicians in Sabah and Sarawak giving Pak Lah the indication that they might switch camp if not enough seats given to them in the cabinet?

Then, Pak Lah must think real hard.

I think Pak Lah should just say that he's not going to defend his post in Umno in December.
