No his family is not and should not be called First Family. In the US, the First Family refers to the President's family. In Malaysia, why should we call the PM's family as First Family? Shouldn't we call the King's family as First Family?
No this posting has got nothing to do with who should be called First Family. It is about Najib, Malaysia's 6th Prime Minister.
Najib has requested Malaysian to give him a chance to prove his capabilities as a PM that deserves respect and support. I think he ought to be given a chance to prove what he is capable of.
First we should provide him some space to appoint his cabinet. If his cabinet consist of any of the following people (not an exhaustive list), then Najib has failed in his first test!
(1) Khairy Jamaluddin - the guilty of money politic, Head of Umno Youth
(2) Jamaluddin Jarjis - the ex-Minister that almost never keep his word of showing up unless you have strong political connection
(3) Azalina Othman - the integrity-suspect Minister currently being investigated by MACC
(4) Nor Mohamed Yaacop - the vindictive 2nd Finance Minister who never remembers whatever help you have given him but remembers the slightest "offense" that you have said.
The above list is not exhaustive though I wished it was. Nonetheless if any of the above personality makes it to Najib's cabinet, it deserves to be called "kitchen cabinet" similar to Pak Lah's and Najib has failed in his first test as PM.
This first test is crucial as a wrong (and unclean) choice would make it difficult for me (as a SINGLE VOTER) to evaluate Najib's leadership positively for the next 6 months...
But then, I am nothing but a SINGLE LONE VOTER...
