New Deputy Prime Minister?

By 2010 we will have a new Prime Minister, that is "if" it materialise. 23 months is a long time, anything can happen along the way.

It appears that this proposed transfer of power are merely a show to appease critics and calls for PM to step down. Today I agree with TM, the chances for DSN to become DPM is very unlikely because the transition period is too long. I don't feel excited about the announcement, firstly, I have no confidence on DSN, second - I felt that PL is buying time for him to stay on, third - is to pacify PL's critics and cease potential challenge for the post.

The Umno's President and Deputy President posts are supposed to be an elected post, with PL announcement it seems that PL guaranteed DSN to become President - an act normally regarded as dictatorship or authoritarian. Let the members decide who they want to become their leaders, I reiterated my earlier blog, abolish the election quota system and let democracy rules.

The reason given by PL to stay next 23 months is irrelevant, the succsessor should be entrusted to managed his own way, afterall it is for the benefit of the rakyat unless there are some things to hide...
