Najib Razak announced his cabinet line up today at 3-00 pm 13/04/1430 -09/04/2009.Among the notable omission is Khairi Jamaluddin - contraversial umno youth chief and SIL of AAB.But his deputy Razali Ibrahim and his beaten contender Mukhriz Mahathir are in as deputy ministers. So too the umno putri chief. There are also recycle minister who make a come back through the back door, among them is the women affairs minister. Notably, putra umno (is it) rep was omitted.Contraversial education minister Hishamuddin Hussain is now internal security minister. His old post is now held by DPM Muhiyiddin Yasin assisted by Fuad Zarkashi. Fuad is known for his strong opposition to the policy of teaching matematics and science in english.In fact johor's UMNO of which Hishamuddin is one of its members, has registered strong opposition to that policy from the begining (of which Hishamuddin probably couldn't recall).Is that a signal that the contraversial policy, favoured by the middle & upper classes urban elites, will be abandoned.
