Douglas Unggah masih ada la dalam kabinet....

To be fair to DSN, in his mind and with the political, economic environment he is operating , this may be his best "arrangement". I hope his 6 months appraisal of the Ministers will keep them on their toes.

Let us give him a chance to work with his team although I am a bit dissapointed that it is still a fairly large Cabinet for our country

Lily

Shabery Chek and Ismail Sabri should have been dropped.
Najib is still trying to please Dolah and KJ.

Pootz in Boots said...

MARA and TEKUN are now under Rural & regional Development Ministry while SME shall now be under MITI.
