| 2003-02-02 | Cleansing the Augean Stables But out of office is often out of sight. Few cabinet
ministers can overcome the oblivion that comes with loss of
office. One cabinet minister resigned, under pressure, just
before the Hari Raya celebrations, in the early years of the
Mahathir years. At his Open House that year, a handful turned
up, unlike in previous years when thousands were the norm. BN
cabinet ministers view their office as a life-time occupation,
and take their cabinet perks and privileges as their right, and
fight tooth-and-nail to retain them. These perks include an
cache of ill-gotten gains. Hardly a cabinet minister have
escaped investigation by the Anti-Corruption Agency for corrupt
practices. Recently, I had lunch with a former cabinet minister,
and I had to introduce him to a few UMNO members who came to
greet me. And they were shocked he was alive.

month, in Malaysia it is to gauge the popularity of its leaders.
But there are structured rules that one ignores at one's peril.
No one, especially a cabinet minister, should have more visitors
than the Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Mahathir Mohamed in Putra
Jaya. If he has, one would not notice it from reading the
mainstream press. Every Muslim has his "Open House", to which
all and sundry is invited. But no count is kept of how many came
acalling.
