Thank you to pak lah for dismissing Rafidah Aziz. I hope Naza and the gang will now go down the drain.

Thank you also for dismissing Tengku Adnan. I hope justice will put him to jail for the lingam case.

But I don’t think this is a strong cabinet, quite weak with many untested people.

I think it sends the wrong message in UMNO that an underperforming state like Selangor and Kelantan gets 3 seats while Pahang that did VERY well only got 2. well im from kelantan so i shuoldnt be complaining.

Also why the need for senators?

It is also problematic that Wanita UMNO is not represented. Wanita UMNO are the backbone of UMNO, they worked damn hard for us to retain all the seats. Of all the YB from Wanita UMNO, not even 1 for Minister? Many thought Halimah Sadique the only Lady Ketua Bahagian in the Country to be in the cabinet.

Will this cabinet line up quell the unhappiness in UMNO currently?

but the main thing is, can the PM himself perform in the next 6 months? Above all things, I am sure this will be the main determinant factor. A continuation of a sleeping leadership will only erode confidence in UMNO and further alienate UMNO from reality. Furthermore, if there is no major shift in UMNO’s self assessment/policy, I doubt that the next election will be an easy one.

For all we know, this is the first step towards for UMNO to become the King’s Opposition..
