Comment on Cabinet expansion confirms Najibs inability to revamp Umno line-up by Justice Ipsofacto

Liew Chin Tong The Malaysian Insider 25 June 2014

Todays Cabinet reshuffle should more aptly be described as a Cabinet expansion.

No deadwood was dropped from the Cabinet and more importantly, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak failed to present a new slate of Umno ministers.

Since the end of 2013, numerous versions of the speculated Cabinet reshuffle have been circulated after all major Barisan Nasional component parties concluded their respective party elections.

Most Malaysians who want to see the country moving forward were anticipating the following:

1. Would the conservative Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin call it quits to allow Najib to move Umno to a centrist position?

2. Would there be a full-time Finance Minister to handle the mounting challenges on the economic front?

3. As the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 incident has shown the world that Malaysia needs a new foreign minister, would there be a replacement for Datuk Seri Anifah Aman?

4. Would Datuk Seri Jamil Khir be dropped for causing distress to the prime ministers supposed centrist agenda?

5. Would the popular Khairy Jamaluddin be promoted further?
