NAJIB'S cabinet

Whoever YAB Dato Seri Mohd Najib appoints today in his cabinet will be his prerogative. His privilege and his exclusive right as the Prime Minister of Malaysia. As president of UMNO, I am sure he will consult the polit bureau. As Chairman of Barisan Nasional, I am sure he will consult the supremos of the component parties.

Najib's cabinet will have to be the people's cabinet if he wants to convincingly get back the two thirds majority. UMNO and Barisan Nasional alone will not be able to deliver that for now. He has to dig deep and have a cabinet that the people will like and that the people will trust in handling the affairs of the nation.

Pak Lah was not that successful with the rakyat of Malaysia in forming his cabinet, we hope and pray that YAB Dato Seri Mohd Najib will not repeat his predecessor's mistake.

Whatever is the list, they should be given time to prove themselves. The vote of confidence or no confidence on the choice of cabinet members should only be given when after some time, they perform or do not perform.
