If you've been reading The Edge Daily, the underlying writing tone is one of support for the following agenda:
(1) Keep the current PM, reject calls for his resignation
(2) The new cabinet line-up is a breath of fresh air (who is the breathing this air, I don't know, presumably certain selected investor community and UMNO reformers)
(3) Agree with PM decision that all ministers and deputy ministers must declare their assets to the public (so you think there is no other way to conceal assets?)
(4) Dropping Rafidah Aziz was the right thing to do, she was too entrenched in her ministry (or was she an uncomfortable reminder of Mahathir's legacy?)
Rightly so, THE EDGE wrote that they have one important concern (only one??): the appointment of Shahrizat Jalil as special adviser to the PM for Women and Social Development Affairs with ministerial status. What is this?
PM says he will listen to voters. The public voted Shahrizat out, but he kept her in.
PM says his cabinet line-up reflects the changes seen in the voting outcome. Really? UMNO popularity has depleted and the percentage share of Sarawak and Sabah BN parliamentary seats have substantially increased. But the top jobs still remain with UMNO (deputy PM; Finance; Defence; Works; Energy, Water & Communication; MITI, Education) and most of the Sarawakians and Sabahans get the Timbalan jobs - supporting role only.
EDGE carried this editorial headline today: THE NEW CABINET A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
I wonder if they meant THE NEW CABINET, A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THE OPPOSITION?

So we ask, is the PM really listening to voters?
