*********************************************************Call me names and insult me if I am not right to say some of the people named here should not be given a Minister Post.
Number 1 - Why is Azmin given a Minister post? At 93 years old, Mahathir can kick the bucket anytime. So do you think Malaysians especially the Muslim Freak will accept Kak Wan as Prime Minister? As long as DSAI is not a Minister he can continue to dream. So the deal between Mahathir, Daim and Azmin is on for the PM post.
Number 2 - In the history of Malaya and now Malaysia, has any DPM been given a Women Ministry? This is a big insult to PKR and Kak Wan. Is Kak Wan not capable to be Education Minister?
Number 3 - Zuraida said she will step down and not stand at the GE14. Yet she did not do so. What happened to her corruption and cheating case with her toy boy? Looks like this new Government will have another Mother Cow in the making.
Number 4 - What experience does Rina Harun has to be a Rural Minister?
Number 5 - Why is the Education Minister post given to an Islamic Freak by the name of Dr Maszlee? Malaysia does not need to go down the Islamic ways again.
I am happy to give Mahathir two years and Anwar a term as Prime Minister. But if Azmin were to become a Minister now then the chances of Anwar becoming the next Prime Minister will only be a dream.
Knowing Anwar's fate, his time is over the day Mahathir dies.
