The New Cabinet
The unveiling of the new Cabinet does not go down too well with a good number of former members of the Cabinet such as Dato Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad and Dato Seri Rafidah Aziz. Obviously Pak Lah did not give an indication as who would not be reappointed but he did say that those who lost in the elections would not be appointed in the new Cabinet.
2. The new faces whom he brought into the Cabinet doesn't excite the people at all, because there seemed to be a lack of a good pool to choose from. Inevitably, the rumblings followed immediately by some who declined the posts as Deputy Minister giving their own reasons and when the Wanita Umno expressed their unhappiness when their Chief was dropped, the deputy Chief was appointed Adviser.
3. When Pak Lah made the announcement over TV on Tuesday, he looked assured and at the same time defiant when he invited questions from the floor. Obviously he wanted to give the impression that he's still in charge. But what he felt deep down, only Allah S.W.T. knows. He's definitely in for trouble. Let's see the developments that will be unfurling in the months to come.
