    Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak described his new Cabinet as a delicate balance of experienced hands and fresh blood, with a number of technocrats in the mix.

    But the line-up was also based on a simple formula those who delivered were rewarded and those who didn't got nothing. The biggest beneficiaries were the Sabahans and Sarawakians.

    The Prime Minister rewarded the loyalty of voters in the two states handsomely, doubling their number of Cabinet members from six to 12. They now make up more than a third of the 32-member Cabinet.

    The Indian community, which showed strong support for the ruling coalition, was also amply rewarded.

Palanivel was appointed Minister of Natural Resources and Environment while deputy president Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam was made Health Minister.

    Heeding the call for a stronger resolve to fight corruption, Najib picked Transparency International Malaysia president Datuk Paul Low Seng Kuan as Minister in the Prime Minister's Department. Low has a reputation as an anti-graft campaigner who does not pull his punches in his criticisms.

    To tackle crime, Najib placed Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the new Home Minister in a direct swap with Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein who takes over the Defence portfolio. The appointment of the no-nonsense Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi just a day after Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar became the new Inspector- General of Police is expected to increase the momentum in the fight against crime.

    Datuk Seri Najib Razak menekankan kepentingan ketelusan dalam pentadbiran kerajaan kerana ia adalah aspek yang dieksploitasi dan digembar-gembur oleh pembangkang tanpa mengambil kira sama ada ia bersandarkan kepada realiti atau persepsi.

    Perdana Menteri berkata, ketika ini pembangkang hanya tahu bagaimana persepsi boleh mengatasi realiti.

    Maknanya, jangkaan atau harapan rakyat terhadap tingkah laku kita, sama ada pada diri kita mahupun anggota keluarga, adalah begitu tinggi. Oleh itu, kita mesti menjaga apa saja yang kita lakukan, pembawaan dan cara hidup supaya rakyat tidak mempersoalkan apa saja membabitkan integriti kita sebagai anggota pentadbiran, katanya.

    Apa saja yang kita lakukan, ia mesti atas nama sebuah kerajaan, bukannya kita bergerak dalam compartment (ruang atau bahagian yang terpisah daripada bahagian lain) atau silo masing-masing. Saya tegaskan penting kita menjadi satu pasukan yang jitu, kukuh dan selaras tindakan kita, sama ada dalam negara mahupun di luar negara, sama ada kita berbicara dengan media tempatan mahupun media antarabangsa, katanya.

    Beliau meminta setiap anggota Kabinet memberi nilai tambah kepada perkhidmatan dengan bukan hanya menjaga kementerian atau kawasan masing-masing, sebaliknya sanggup melakukan lebih daripada itu termasuk menyertai forum bersama dengan rakyat, sama ada penyertaan secara bersemuka, mahupun menerusi media sosial atau tradisional.
