Prime Minister Najib has announced his new cabinet line-up.
As expected, there are few surprises from UMNO.
Those dropped includeShahrir ( has tendered resignation, anyway), Azalina (scandal-plagued/), Muhd Taib (lost Deputy President contest), SyedHamid ( deservedly so) .
Nothing much can be said of the other appointments from MIC, MCA except for the inclusion of Tsu Koon (nobody else it seems).
An interesting one is the appointment of Mukhriz as a Deputy Minister - instead of KJ. It does seem that Najib listens to and is very much influenced by TDM. KJ , having being elected UMNO
Youth, is left outin the cold.
It would not take a political scientist/analyst to ’speculate’ that there will be discontentment within the UMNO ranks - sooner or later.
From UMNO’s point of view, it looks like TDM is truly ‘back again’ to dictate matters within UMNO and BN as a whole. So where would that put Najib? How would other BN component

parties view this latest development?
Let's wait and see !

Sabah and Sarawak have been expecting to be better rewarded this time around, with the BN leaders of both states even indicating’ surprises’. Alas! when the announcement was made, and despite the importance of support from the 2 states in keeping BN in power, nothing of that sort happened. yet again. Perhaps, that's the price of loyalty, BN-style.
After all the ‘great expectation’, ( before announcement), the new cabinet doesn’t seem to ‘ooze’ any confidence nor the ‘wow’ factor nor the impression ( of their capability) to bring the country forward. In short, there’s nothing to be excited about the new cabinet.
Anyway, good luck to Najib and the new cabinet.
God help Malaysia.
