Four new senators - MIC deputy president G Palanivel, PPP senior vice-president Maglin D'Cruz, MCA vice-presidents Donald Lim and Gan Ping Shou - were appointed deputy ministers today.
Previously, Najib's cabinet consisted of five senators - Koh Tsu Koon (Prime Minister's Department), Jamil Khir Baharom (Prime Minister's Department), Idris Jala (Prime Minister's Department), Shahrizat Abdul Jalil (Women, Family and Community Development) and Raja Nong Chik Zainal Abidin (
Senators-turned-deputy ministers includes - Mashitah Ibrahim (Prime Minister's Department), T Murugiah (Prime Minister's Department), Awang Adek Hussin (Finance), Abu Seman Yusop (Home), Heng Seai Kie (Women, Family and Community Development), Maznah Mazlan (Health), A Kohilan Pilay (Foreign Affairs).
With this, it is roughly a quarter of the deputy ministers posts are held by non-elected representatives.
In an immediate reaction, Rembau MP and Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin 'retweeted' a post by an unknown individual, describing the new cabinet line up as "solid".
It seems, our ruling party’s represent (MP) were mostly selected and not elected MPs. There were 11 senators in the ruling party. What I can remember most of them were the re-cycled Senators.
One of them was Senators G.Palanivel. He was done deal made after he gave away his Hulu Selangor seat to Kamalanathan.
If this is how the trend, than I don’t think the election does give any different?
No reformation and with the same dudes, what changes does the PM is going after?
