    • These and a few others are the hotheads. They are really good, no doubt, but they can wait their turn. These are the second echelon leaders who must learn the ropes from the sifu Dr M.

    • Tony Pua and Ong Kian Ming lost somewhere in the Finance Ministry, had to ask Lara Croft for help. Rafizi forced to "lepaK" another five years, Nurul (IMO) to give up seat for Daddy .... will end up housewife like the pretty Dyanna. Nik Nazmi .... I really don't have any idea.

  • Great team of good men and women. Now, get down to work as soon as Agong appoints all of you.

  • Syabas !!!! A very strong team. Get down to work immediately after being sworn in. Prove to the world you can make malaysia great again to catch up with other neighbouring countries. I hope your works won't be interfered by Anwar who still carries with him the incompetent and tainted UMNO-DNA mindset of "ketuanan Melayu'. Don't make the NEW MALAYSIA a "syok sendiri" illusion one.

    • DSAI is a manipulative, deceitful, devious Machiavellian !@#!!!

  • WTF!! DSAI, what happened to your anti-discrimination promises? Malay comprises less than half of PKR elected MPs yet only two non-Malays are Ministers ..... moreover, one was rewarded for being GaL1 (Goon and Lackey no. 1) and the other a tokenism to Sabah and Sarawak. Are the rest from the minority races pure !@#$??? Are your treating them like how UMNO treated MCA and MIC?

  • Why no Indian Deputy Minister in the PH Cabinet?

  • A nice change of scenery indeed. It is so refreshing. Anyway the hard work of rebuilding has just begun. Good luck and stay true to your title of Wakil Rakyat. Remember, you are not LOTR (Lord of the Rakyat) like the sickening bunch before you.

  • While these are important and forms the face of the government of the day, I'm sure that many of the up and coming second leaders would find their persistence rewarded in many other commissions and GLC which requires their experience and leadership to move the whole country forward.
