That's a total of 24 Ministerial Departments. Compare that with the cabinet of the USA, a country about 30 times larger in size and with around 10 times more people than Malaysia:
The US has 15 Ministerial Departments. Why does Malaysia need so many departments? Why do we need three departments for Plantation Industries & Commodities, Agriculture & Agro Based Industry and Natrural Resources? Can't they be merged into a single entity?
Also now that Pakatan Rakyat has an even larger representation in the parliament, why can't reps from Pakatan component parties be appointed as ministers? Example, the Ray LaHood, a Republican, served as Secretary of Transport during Obama's first term at office. Since BN is finding it difficult to finding a MCA rep to be Transport Minister after they decided to decline government posts, why not get someone from PKR or DAP? Looks like Malaysian politics still has a long way to go before it grows up..
