Swap Ministry: Najib Is The Loser

Last week when Pa Lah announce minor Cabinet reshuffle by swapping the ministry with his deputy, some analyst believed the power transition has started but actually it is not the power transition. It was a swap game and najib is the loser in this new game. Pa Lah takes over the MOD and as a minister he will chair the military council. Military Council is the highest body to control the arm forces. Najib will lose his network with military personnel and definitely the intelligence report too. Military is very hierarchical and they will take the boss instruction only. Although Najib take over MOF but he will not be able to make a decision freely because Pa Lah's right hand man, Nor Yaakob is still around. He is more knowledgeable in economic chapters. Finance minister shall chair the Khazanah Holding meeting but in Najib's case, Pa Lah still will chair and Najib only as deputy. Meaning Najib won't be able to take a decision on placing his man or restructure GLC's. End of the day, Najib will stuck. For those who are unaware about this game, they will think Najib is a failure. Well, I believe, Pa Lah will not give a room to Najib to take over the party administration in near future or may be forever. I believe, RAHMAN theory will stop at "A" and "N" represent the "New Government."
