‘By not giving Khairy any post, Najib is just inviting trouble. To rub salt into the wound, Mukhriz is deputy minister of Miti.’

Sivaraman: Same old, same old. By not giving Khairy any post, Najib is just inviting trouble. To rub salt into the wound, Mukhriz is deputy minister of Miti.

Welcome back, Mahathirism.

Malaysia Boleh: ‘Of the ministers, 16 are from Umno, MCA (4), MIC (1), Gerakan (1), PBB (1), Supp (1), PBS (1) and Upko (1).’

Well, can we see any changes here? It is safe to say ketuanan is still being practiced. Look at the ratio, it is just like my working place.

Seventy-five percent bumis, 20% Chinese, followed by rest of us at 5%. It just so disheartening.

Fifty years ago my father saw this and now I’m still seeing it and so will my children. Well, PKR, it’s time to change. Hear me and hear the people - ‘go for it’.

Rachel Loo: With the new cabinet line-up, I see Bernard Dompok has been retained as a minister.

As such, perhaps our YB can now persuade our new PM, in line with his vision of ‘1Malaysia’, to declare Good Friday a public holiday for the Christians in West Malaysia just like in Sabah and Sarawak.

Is Bernard Dompok only representing the Christians in Sabah and Sarawak or is he representing all Christians in Malaysia ?

Sang Kancil:

Saudara Najib finally managed to get all his men into the system, one which will face a real challenge from the rakyat.

If we analyse it properly, some of the senators and MPs who were selected to hold a minister’s or deputy minister's post are basically losers. Meaning to say, they are ‘rejects’.

They were either rejected during the 12GE or during the Umno elections recently. Is this what we call democracy?

Getting someone rejected by the rakyat into the cabinet is totally unwarranted.

Perhaps the BN machinery is punishing the rakyat for not giving them absolute power during the 12GE.

Anyway, we the rakyat, are not really worried or bothered about this too much. After all, this may be the last BN cabinet in Malaysian history.

Rahmanizan: Do you know Obama took more than 30 days to find the right people to form his cabinet?

Everyone that was short-listed was checked and scrutinised to ensure that they are clean and did not come with any baggage that could put his administration in bad light.

He looked for the best, the most capable, the most qualified and ones that were highly regarded to assume their respective posts.

And now compare that to Najib's administration. Najib selected his cabinet in just six days and what do we have? Pure politicians!

They were selected because they are heads of BN component parties or the leaders of each of the parties’ wing or Umno loyalists.

The selections were made purely to appease the political parties.

Now you see why America is named the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave whereas Malaysia is Bolehland.

On Dr Lim: Follow your father, Najib

Kee Yong: I almost fell off my chair when I read the former Gerakan chief’s advice to Najib. This only goes to show the mentality of these so-called Chinese leaders of Malaysia, past and present.

Is he not aware that it was Razak's politics and practices that created this thing called ‘hyphenated citizens’ of Malaysia? I am referring here to the ‘non-Malays’.

That his politics was the progenitor to the current racist calling of Ketuanan Melayu?

Please, please Gerakan and MCA, do keep your advice within the fortresses of your own bungalows and villas.

We are, or I am, really sick to my stomach of your very existence.

On Go for a 'No 1 Malaysia' rather than '1 Malaysia'

Nik Sulaiman Hassan: The PM’s new ideoloy is ‘...the concept of One Malaysia - People First, Performance Now’.

Does he mean it for all Malaysians or just for people under the Barisan Nasional?

If for all Malaysians, then he should also select a few opposition leaders into the cabinet. Then, all Malaysians will see his seriousness in promoting '1 Malaysia'.

Mail: ‘We will work towards establishing a government for all people,’ said PM Najib

All the rakyat is interested in (and PR, please also take serious note) is ‘just do it’ - ‘do whatever is right, do whatever is fair, do whatever is best’ for all Malaysians in policy-making and implementation.

By the way. making promises is kind of outdated. We ‘not-to-be-taken-for-granted’ rakyat are tired with regards to promises that political parties cannot deliver, whether BN or PR.

On Results are a clarion call for change

Kee Yong: If we are so depressed with the unlawfulness of recent events in Malaysia, especially in Perak, we should ‘speak up’ by doing certain things.

Stop reading the mainstream newspapers. Stop paying taxes.

But most of all the Pakatan governments in their respective states should start implementing policies and actions to boldly face the recession Malaysia is currently facing.

One way to erase the ‘broadcasting’ of the ruling regime is to ignore them until the next general elections. But of course, show up and vote in any up-coming by-election.

A landslide victory for the people would truly be a huge blow to their arrogant childishness. Believe me, eventually they will have to face the realities.

Time is not on their side.

On Lim and Koh cross swords over 'backdoor' entry

SB Phen: LGE, we voted for you because we had no alternative and not because we hate Koh Tsu Koon,

We were fed up with Umno and Pak Lah for not walking the talk but what is happening now is that PR is just seeking publicity and also not walking the talk.

In the Malaysian political arena, it is all the same old people since the sixties till now and this has not changed - Mahathir, Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh etc.

Please deliver on your promises which were outlined in your manifestoes. We are the judges to make any final conclusions. The people from Penang are mostly highly-educated.
