Who To Leave Out Of DS Najib's New Cabinet?

Smses have been flying around about a new cabinet to be announced by DS Najib today or tomorrow. Rather than pitch for any new additions, I would suggest that the following ministers' relevance be reviewed. I would argue that they are primarily vote losers, not vote winners. Even if not dropped, they should be moved from their current portfolio, except no 1 and 2, they have to go:

1. DS Nazri TS Aziz - Much disliked due to his frequent verbal abuse of Tun Dr M, opposition, critics, bloggers... actually, everybody! Being a big shot's son does not help, personafies the image of UMNO 'nobles' at its worst, arrogant and disconnected from the Rakyat. Recent taxi rate hikes backfired with taxi drivers claiming it was 'to his benefit' and saving of BN's blushes at the Budget vote would not have been necessary if he did his job as party whip!


2. TS Koh Tsu Koon - What is the point of having this man, known as an ultra-racist in civilised clothes even among some Penang Chinese, still in cabinet? He lost PRU12, his party lost the state of Penang, the party still struggles for leadership, with BN cringeing at the idea of a Gerakan candidate for the potential Batu by-election, and he cannot do any cabinet work! DS Najib had to appoint DS Idris Jala to do TS Koh's work! Just sack TS Koh already!


3. DS Hishamuddin Hussein - Some would argue it would have been worst leaving him in the Education Ministry, unfortunately, I am not so sure! As the custodian of our police and internal security forces, he may have not presided over as enormous boo-boos as his predecessors, Pak Lah and TS Syed Hamid, but his penchant for seeking the media spotlight does not suit a ministry that works very much in the background... when it is doing well...


4. DS Rais Yatim - As one who supported his bid for UMNO Vice President on the back of his experience, I am actually disappointed at how poorly DS has performed in his 'super-ministry'. He remains cultured and well spoken, but appears to be overwhelmed by the ideas of the day and the media tools now needing to be mastered in the increasingly 'post-digital' era. It's about ideas man... let them roam... don't just tell us... build your message with us...

I am sure to have incited some anger and hatred... again... but then what to do? I'm hardly the only person saying the above.

PS - I didn't mention explicitly about the new 'private' being made a Cabinet Minister as the idea is too moronic to contemplate. DS Najib does still want to win PRU13, I am sure.

At Last, Somewhere To Put MIC's Spare Garland Of Slippers...

Ever since DS Samy Vellu effectively grovelled for forgiveness at Tun Dr M for an AGM delegate proposing to award a garland of slippers to our former PM, knowing full well that the good doctor probably has more influence on Indian voters than MIC does these days, there has been a spare garland of slippers lying around. I have always thought that there are 2 great candidates for this garland, TS koh Tsu Koon or YB Lim Guan Eng.

TS Koh is of course a renowned racist among the people of Penang, what with his favouring of Chinese business interests well ahead of Malay or even Indian ones! Howerever, we are now seeing Lim Guan Eng fast catching up with TS Koh, with quotas for Malays to compete against each other on projects (a bastardisation of the DEB based system TS Koh used to ignore), his closing one eye to aides insulting Muslim NGO's and now with the Kampung Buah Pala fiasco.

These men have debated before and the two showcased excellent Bahasa Malaysia skills with an ability to command it to such heights of boredom, even when slinging mud at each other, resulting in little real value. So, to spice things up, now that everyone, including the Kg Buah Pala residents, are keen on the debate taking place, I propose that the MIC contributes their spare garland of slippers as a prize for the loser of the debate, to be decided by Kg Buah Pala residents of course!

I know that some people out there now have a view that the Kampung Buah Pala residents had gone too far and ended up asking or even daring to 'milk some profit' from the whole issue. I tend to disagree however, and hope that the following excellent short movie brings home what I mean... no mean pun intended! Also hope you all agree that racism should be opposed across all political divides...
