Different wish lists for new PM

By Jeff Ooi

MCA wants a Chinese Deputy PM I. Gerakan wants a Chinese Deputy PM II. Will Umno Muhyiddin Yassin agree?

The MCA has called upon new Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to create a post for a Chinese deputy prime minister and a Chinese deputy chairman of Barisan Nasional.

While MCA president is obviously too shy to ask for it, as he is the direct beneficiary, the hatched-man tasked to come-a-begging is the lowly party deputy secretary-general.

For a start, MCA-controlled newspaper The Star must help promote it till it's done.

Meanwhile, Gerakan has asked for the post of Deputy PM II. The hatched-man is an unknown from Timbaktu.

'Money politicians'

On the other hand, Karpal Singh also has a wish list for Najib.

On the contrary, he wants the newly-minted Prime Minister to ask the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to probe those implicated in vote-buying in last week’s Umno polls, namely Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and Malacca Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam.

A true reflection of political conviction: Who fights for the larger good this time?
