Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had announced the Cabinet Line up on 18th March 2008, a trimmed down size Cabinet but more new faces, younger, and certainly more dynamic. We welcome Zaid Ibrahim for De Facto Minister for Judiciary, Sharir for Domestic Trade, Amarsham for EPU, and what more important is Khairy was not included!

We all know that Pak Lah has to face a great challenge in the coming UMNO election and if he would like to strengthen his power in the party, he would not drop Rafidah, Razi or Tengku Adnan. But i think this time he really wants his Cabinet to move and bring in professional and credible peoples mean he put national interest before party interest.

He may be the last BN Prime Minister or second last BN Prime Minister, he may be accused as sleeping PM, who unable to control his people, he may be blamed for causing BN to lost the entire government to oppostion, but from the bottom of my heart, i salute him for given this country a freedom, an opportunity for a change, for allowing more voices to be heard, for respecting the voters decision.

Pak lah, you are the Father of Democracy!
