Abdullah New Cabinet- Let's wait and see!

New Straits Times reported that the second Abdullah Cabinet unveiled yesterday as "Reform Cabinet".

It appears that the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi seems to be willing to "hear the truth from the people"although he is 4 years late on the pledges. (when he first became Prime Minister.)

The appointment of UMNO Information chief Muhammad Muhammad Taib as Minister for Rural and Regional Development is a blemish on the new Cabinet! It is a stain that tarnishes and discredits the new Cabinet. Why Abdullah has included such a person that brings reproach and dishonor to his Cabinet. Had he ran out of reputable candidate?

Malaysians are all eyes on Abdullah Cabinet in its first 2 working Cabinet meetings in the next fortnight!

1.) I like to see an immediate and unconditional release of the 5 Hindraf leaders! What about you?

2.) Restoration of confidence in the independence of judiciary with the estsblishment of a Judicial Appointments Commission and a Royal Commission into the judicial crises starting with the unconstitutional sacking of Tun Salleh Abas as Lord President and Datuk George Seah and the late Tan Sri Wan Suleiman Pawanteh as Supreme Court judges in 1988.

3.) Implement fully the 125 recommendations of the Royal Police Commission to create a professional police service and to establish an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

4.) I would like to see Abdullah embracing a full Select Committee system headed by Parliamentarians where every Ministry is shadowed by a Select Committee and an Opposition MP to head the Public Accounts Committee.

5.) Public inquiry into the RM4.6 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) bailout scandal.

We, the people of Malaysia are the Boss! We will wait and see! See if after this round our friends can hear what the people want!
