New Cabinet: Same old story

I don't think the new cabinet as declared by Najib as a changes that BN needs because I can still see the underperformed (in my opinion) minister such as Nazri Aziz, Rais Yatim and Shabery Cheek inside the cabinet. One more thing, although they said that they trimmed the cabinet, but they introduce 2 deputy ministers for certain ministry. I think this is still a wastage with a Najib style instead of Abdullah which is worst.... but thank to Najib for not reappoint Syed Hamid Albar and Sahril Samad although he is resigned... I respect Sahril Samad when he is a PAC chairman, but when he is appointed as a minister, his teeth become very soft.... Syed Hamid Albar is worst, he is mumbling all the time without any strong facts.... The cabinet is there already, just accept it for the better.....
