Malaysian New Cabinet Minister and Deputy Line Up

Below is the new line up done by PM of Msia after the GE 2008, this no changes in the Malaysian Indians representation compare to the previous line up except some portfolio changes.
We also saw for the first time an Indian senator from Gerakan ( Chinese majority party) was made as Deputy Minister.
We wish all good luck and hope they will look into their ministry beyond party and race.
Thx
