Political analysts say Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin should avoid appointing leaders facing trial into his Cabinet. FMTNews MuhyiddinYassin

March 5, 2020 7:24 AM

Universiti Malaya’s Awang Azman Pawi said Muhyiddin had set the tone for his administration in his first speech as prime minister when he said he would appoint Cabinet ministers who were clean, had integrity and calibre.Speculation is rife that former members of the Barisan Nasional administration, including top leaders who have been charged in court, could be part of Muhyiddin’s Cabinet, owing to their seniority in Umno.

He added that while the new coalition enjoyed support from conservative Malays, which represents a large bloc, Muhyiddin must be careful not to avoid pushing away other blocs through wrong appointments. “The leaders who are facing trial should take a step back though the courts have yet to make a decision.”

All the reactions..just bcos FMT said 'Political Analyst'...sapa lah anallyst tu...

TheOriginalOracle Says most important criteria is fasih dalam BM. Never mind the court cases

But he doesn’t care. And u think we can stop umno to come back to rob the country again. This time they will destroy all evidence and be more ruthless. They’ll use country’s money to buy support. Biasak la, ini kan M’sia. Semua Boleh! Kecuali 40% yg tak sama agama mcm mereka

You think he cares? All same boat.

True the troubled pple will cause hate n anger among d Rakyat

What's the difference, their companions? Your very suggestion/advise reeks of corruption. Are you a Political Animal or Political Analysis. Advising one on the betrayal of/against the masses

... just like GuanEng when he was appointed Minister & cleared by DAP’s AG? Yes, hopefully PM Muhyiddin do not follow ‘style’ of the PH Govt .

umno pas yang berkuasa. muhyiddin ni dah jadi boneka. tengok semua negeri ppbm dah jadi negeri umno.

Totally agree. TSMY shud also stake is integrity by dissolving parliament when these tainted leaders make it difficult.

With the vultures around him his choices will be very limited.

A new AG will drop all charges, judges will acquit the umno guys and all DPPs and AG staff in those cases will be sent to watch birds at Bakun Dam or end up in cement tongs so where got trials or cases! They are all clean to join his cabinet & can all steal together again!

Sapa suruh dengar pH politic advisers...bodoh le muhiden

Let's PM decided, the appointment will reflex the PM, therefore PM should be cautious, this will determine the future of Bersatu, MOH, MOE, Economics is fundamental for now and need urgent attention,

That would be common sense if you want any integrity in your government but we allknow how this is really going g to work... and that is why this will not be a legitimate govt voted on and supported by the people

Let him decide whats “clean” by his definition and we will know of this is for the country or for his pocket

Walking the talk would be reflected by the appointment of the new AG, and the freedom of macc under LK. Then only all these goon politicians disappear from optics.

Maybe appointing someone who wears a 4k slipper and a million dollar watch at home would also be good optics for the new cabinet

Deal diner!

It is his prerogative as PM to appoint anyone. Why are many people so kapoh?

Hello, why you think dumno & piss/pass formed the alliance with Brutus. They did so to ensure pick or not they control everything. Maybe even the judiciary. Brutes is their toy only. Deal with it

I believe TSMY my_malaysia will see that wisdom and not be pressured by Zahid_Hamidi as what zahid did in Malacca. strengthandhonor
