More on the ‘UMNO General Assembly Cabinet’.
Unconfirmed reports said two Deputy Ministers named in PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s newly announced Cabinet declined their appointment. They are Deputy Foreign Minister Tengku Dato’ Seri Azlan Sultan Abu Bakar of Pahang and Deputy Transport Minister Dato’ Anifah Aman of Sabah.
It clearly shows the ‘confidence’ PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah received, after his more than bad performance leading BN to a humiliating below-par performance in the recently concluded 12th General Elections.
On another note, the appointment of former Women and Family Development Minister as an ‘Advisor with Ministerial Status’ was announced this evening. Wanita UMNO was said to be very unhappy with PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah’s Cabinet line up and this appointment is another ‘Flip Flop’ wiser-after-event decision, which he is famous for.
*An update as of 10.50pm:
Another unconfirmed report: Former International Trade Minister Dato’ Seri Rafidah Aziz, who is also Wanita UMNO Chief would be calling for a media conference tomorrow at 3.00pm. It is expected that she would be announcing her withdrawal from the Wanita UMNO position, in dismay for the appointment of leaders in PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah’s administration from the ever-important-wing of UMNO ground work.
*An update as of 11.55pm:
Another rumour surfaced: Another Deputy Minister also had not accepted appointment, as per announced this morning. Deputy Finance Minister Dato’ Ahmad Husni Hanadzalah, MP for Tambun, was said to be declining the appointment
LIBASAN TSUNAMI !
Kak pidah menteri terlama
Dari kabinet tergugur nama
PRU 12 membawa bencana
Dua pucuk Wanita merana
Belum pak lah umum nama
Pada pak lah serah nasibnya
Jati diri ahli UMNO sifatnya
Tak disenarai usah menyinga
Merajuk salah tempat bahaya
Inginkan dipujuk, sapalah kita
Kekasih politik, ciri sementara
flip-flop antara ciri luar biasa
Tsunami politik pukul mangsa
Merudum parti, tsunami mega
Tewas individu, tsunami biasa
Digugur menteri, kedu anggota
Kak pidah menteri paling lama
Wajar lebih hebat dari anggota
Emosionalkan ahli amat bahaya
Perangai anwar, usah ikuti pula

Pergerakan Wanita UMNO juga menghadapi tsunami dalam kabinet baru Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.Ia tidak ada seorang pun wakil dalam kabinet bila Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz digugurkan sebagai Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri manakala Datuk Shahrizat Jalil ,bekas Menteri Pembangunan Wanita dan Keluarga tewas di kerusi parlimen Lembah Pantai.Sebaliknya produk Puteri UMNO Datuk Azalina Othman Said kekal dalam kabinet ditukar dari Kementerian Belia dan Sukan ke Kementerian Pelancongan.Juga Ketua Puteri sekarang Datuk Noraini Ahmad,ahli parlimen Parit Sulong dilantik sebagai Timbalan Menteri Sumber Manusia.- 18/3/2008
his ignorance made me sick in the stomach and then angry. dollah…shame on you!
It’s about time Rafidah splits! SO much for her support for the PM lashing out at Tun.
Please don’t have sympathy for this woman. If she wants to relinquish her post in Wanita, be our guest, the ACA will come knocking on her door before the week is through.
Don’t lose too much tears for the wanita, they demanded for more candidates in the last election, they got it. They are well represented in Parliament and the Senate. They don’t have to be represented in the cabinet just because they wear a kebaya. We want the best people in cabinet. If we give quotas for wanitas, puteries, faggorts, veterans in the cabinet, then what will be left for the other more cabable people?
If we press the PM too much, then he might appoint Halimah who is not acedemically qualified but is good at flashing her eyelids and seducing leaders in giving her positions she has no business being in.
Wanita has already got a representative in Azalina. Live with it!
Pak Lah is making slow and steady step ahead, very wise move. Do you people really think that two deputy who doesn’t want to accept the post for what reason? Even AP Queen in question? This people doesn’t dare to declear their assets, got it?
The question is not to do and die but to ask why.
Azalina is not part of Wanita UMNO! Same for Mashitah!. So, none of the Wanita UMNO Exco is in the Pak Lah’s Cabinet! Shame of you Pak Lah!
Wow… many senators in our cabinet! No need to fight, no need to serve, no need to spend, just BODEK Pak Lah and his SIL, you’ll become a minister (or deputy)!
Is it true that originially Pak Lah would like to appoint KJ as Deputy Minister for MOF?
[...] negara dikejutkan apabila dua orang Timbalan Menteri yang disenaraikan menolak perlantikan mereka. Ini melambangkan ‘keyakinan’ rakyat kepada Kepimpinan masih belum pulih dan setakat [...]
