Pak Lah's Lean Mean Fight-Back Machine

After 22 years of burning a hole on the benches, Shahrir Samad is back. Pak Lah’s new Cabinet announced today sees Shahrir appointed Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister. This is a tough post given the unhappiness of the rakyat over rising consumer goods prices. Shahrir, a vocal critic of his fellow ruling politicians, has been a thorn in the flesh for many ministers. Now he gets a shot to prove he can do better.

Muhammad Muhammad Taib, who resigned as Selangor Mentri Besar in 1997, is also back. He’s been made Rural and Regional Development Minister. The Umno information chief is an old faithful. Pak Lah needs as many allies as he can get in these troubled times.

Rafidah Aziz has been dropped.

Ahmah Shabery Cheek, the MP for Kemaman, has moved up to Information Minister. Shabery, an ex-Semangat 46 man, was Foreign Ministry parliamentary secretary.

Pak Lah has trimmed his Cabinet from 90 to 70, apparently doing away with the positions of all parliamentary secretaries.
