Najib's New Cabinet Lineup...

The PM has just announced his cabinet lineup.

Frankly I would have expected Najib to be more bold in trimming the size.  My initial assessment - quite disappointing!

The PR buildup towards a leaner cabinet did not materialise.  Cursory observations:
(1) Yes it is smaller but only marginally.  
(2) Yes, the elected guilty youth leader was not appointed.
(3) Yes, some suspect characters were not appointed but unfortunately the vindictive one is still in the cabinet...

I can't quite rationalise Muhyiddin's appointment as Education Minister!  Yes, it is an important ministry and a senior one but still...  The question remains "WHY?".
