bad judgement by PMDay by day the PM disappointsNazri's appointment disappointingThe Nurul Izzah conundrumNurul . . stay out of governmentThese are some choice remarks by people who maybe were not too averse to see the "reformasi" fellow getting into office. Quite obviously they are quite disappointed now.
Here is some news. The first one has some comments by my good friend Dato Noor Farida Ariffin:

My Comments:
So let me say it : I TOLD YOU SO.
For 25 years. 
A leopard will never change its spots. If a leopard can change its spots it will become a chameleon. 
But allow me to rub some salt into the wound. Ok you have said  :
bad judgement by PMDay by day the PM disappointsNazri's appointment disappointingThe Nurul Izzah conundrumNurul . . stay out of government Will it make any difference to them? Do you honestly think they care about what you say?Will they pull back that ambassador fellow? Will Nurul quit as the Special Adviser?The answer is NO, NO, NO and NO.

Who are you? Respected members of society? They dont care.
You are the Media? So what? They dont care.

The final skewer : So what is the difference between these bad boys and those earlier bad boys? There is no difference.
As that racist girl in the stadium said "they all smell".

When necessary they will dance for you. 
When needed they will sing Tamil songs for you. 
When profitable they will recite in Arabic for you. Because they see you as children - to be fooled with sweets and lullabies.
Well so far it has worked quite well for them.
So let me say it again : I TOLD YOU SO.
