In Malaysia, politics should be prime most in considering a minister's post. Well, the line-up does not seem to shake Malaysians to their bones. It is just another day of a day in Malaysia. Despite the gloom that surrounds everything, the one person that has being held as a lucky man is Najib himself. What about Muhyiddin his deputy? He is basically an administrator and being seen as patriotic just because Johorian should be seen as such. Najib is from Pahang and Pahang people are not that easy to please and it does not matter to them who is the Prime Minister. There is no celebration whatsoever here in Pahang despite Najib is from Pahang. Najib should not be flown from KL to Pekan but instead must take a car ride entering Bentong, Temerloh, Jengka, Maran, Kuantan and then Pekan. Rakyat Pahang should be given a chance to see Najib in person and a motorcade celebration is just appropriate. But that pomp pomp is not important anymore despite its inherent strategic political value to reach the masses. In person and so close I have seen Tunku Abdul Rahman (campaigning 1969 at old town PJ), Tun Razak (he is everywhere), Dr Mahathir (Malaysian consulate at New York City and seeing him delivering a speeech at PBB), Abdullah Badawi (his butler's wedding at Lancang Pahang), and Muhyiddin (lunch at West Haven USA), but not Tun Husein Onn and Najib. I guess gone are the days of motorcade celebration like the one at Bandar Hilir Malacca when we got our independence. To them what matters, can they deliver? Question is since when delivery has become an issue in Malaysian politics?
