Dropped Ministers:<\/p>\n

1. Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar (Home)<\/p>\n

2. Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed (Works)<\/p>\n

3. Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique (FT)<\/p>\n

4. Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (Tourism)<\/p>\n

5. Senator Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib (Rural)<\/p>\n

6. Senator Datuk Amirsham A Aziz (EPU)<\/p>\n

7. Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan<\/p>\n

All MIC reps kept their old posts. Gerakan’s Kohilan Pillay is moved from Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry to Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n

Other surprises include MCA Wanita Chew Mei Fun who is appointed as Senator and will be Deputy Minister in Women, Family and Community Development Ministry.<\/p>\n

Rais Yatim, as widely predicated, is retained in the new cabinet.<\/p>\n

However, the biggest surprise comes in the form of snub to Khairy (UMNO Youth Chief). Not only he did not get any post, his deputy\u00a0 Razali Ibrahim was appointed as Deputy Minister in Youth and Sports Ministry. His enemy Mukhriz Mahathir got himself a Deputy Minister post in International Trade & Industry Ministry. Whatever the logic or reason given by PM Najib, it will be seen as influence from Mahathir.<\/p>\n

So, will it work? The new team will need some time to prove itself. One year?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
