Cabinet: Rejects first, corruption now

By Nathaniel Tan,

I won’t pretend to have original comments, but in case any were missed, I felt a bit like compiling them.
It’s been noted that the PKFZ anti-corruption crusader, Ong Tee Keat has been dropped, while someone who was actually part of the PKFZ scandal, Chor Chee Heung, has been made a full minister.
High hopes for reform under Najib anyone?
Palanivel: not good enough for Hulu Selangor, apparently good enough for cabinet.
People first?
So many senatorships? I understand it’s for appointing professionals with some serious experience and expertise in their intended ministry – not career politicians with no actual skills, and no rakyat who wants them.
Performance now?
My fave might be the meteoric rise of Chua Tee Yong – not only does he already control billions, he is now a deputy minister.
Is it just me, or are we going back to the days of high-rolling, utterly brazen faced, daylight corruption?
