Datuk,

They should have appointed you as senator - you will be a good minister to handle NGOs. I know you to be level headed, humble and can mix with everyone. :)

I think the number is still unwiedly. Imagine we have 57 min and deputies again confirming what is widely believed that we are a country that is over administered.
But I can also sympathise with Najib having to balance not just the needs of the various ethnic groups but also the expectations of all the parties making up BN (though this time without MCA)and especiallhy those from Sabah and Sarawak which had given a big number of seats to BN and also the needs of the various states.
