New Cabinet List is out!

Malaysia's new cabinet list is out. Quite a few surprises as well.

First to note, Khairy is not in the line up. The son-in-law of the PM is not appointed a Minister. Pak Lah must have got it into his senses. Not much of a choice for him actually. Appoint Khairy and face rebellion or stay on as PM.

Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz (former International Trade and Industry Minister) has been dropped from the lineup. There were rumours that BN wants to pave way for new blood and she may be a casualty. Frankly, I think it's a stupid move. She is a woman with caliber and holds the position well. Big mistake!

Nazri, the former de-facto minister of law is still around. Pak Lah has not woke up yet. At least Nazri can still humour us with his stupid comments.

Surprisingly, Datuk Mohd Zaid Ibrahim has been appointed a minister in the PM's dept. A good move considering Zaid background. Zaid has been very verbal about UMNO's policies. His appointment may just tick off a few UMNO warlords.

Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd Taib was made Rural and Regional Development Minister. Now that's a BIG surprise. Muhd son of Muhd made a minister again. What a comeback. What a stupid move for Pak Lah. The man with so many scandals and corruption accusations is being made a minister in a lineup that is supposed to change for the better?

MCA retain their few ministries. No surprises. MIC gets one Ministry, not Works but Human Resources. Paves the way for Subramaniam to challenge old Sam for party president.
