Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia

At the heart of Kinta Valley. The capital city of the state of Perak. An opposition stronghold. Factory of brilliant people. Desolated through emigration of its inhabitants to other parts of the country and overseas. Yet... it is forever remembered by its people.

After Najib's appointment as the DPM and Cabinet reshuffle, surely most of us heard of this enduring staff - Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop - a governmental staff who has been working in Malaysia finance backbone for more than few decades.

I'm actually lack of idea in getting know this person, as his name was just emerged tremendously after the Cabinet reshuffle. To every political aficionado, the post of Finance Minister II is predicted remained unchange, or there will be the possibility taken over by other senior minister cum politician. But coming to everyone's astonishment, this nation financial advisor, who had been one of our former PM's shrewed assistant, had been given the honour to take over this prestigous position.

Anyway, our PM political acumen in choosing a non-political staff as his assistant is undoubtedly a wise choice. Moreover, the decision of not sending Nor Mohamed as a candidate for the coming election is reasonale too because Abdullah just hopes that he can concentrate in paramount economic continuum and ensure our economy performance continuing its outperform against the backdrop of an overall global recovery.

The nation economic solidity is sticked firmly with the performance of country's finance sailor. He must be shrewed and discerning to take into action with any nascent change in economic vibrancy, currency speculators' attacks, market strengths and weaknesses, buoyant market share, country's liquidity et cetera. Based on his previous vast experience in monitoring country economy, including his enormous contribution during 1997/98 Malaysia economic crisis, where he assisted Tun Dr. Mahathir in adopting another economic self-recovery strategies and totally turned off IMF monetary assistance, Tan Sri is believed the right person in playing a pivotal role for country economic modernisation. With a rosy expectation, Tan Sri is poised to rejunevate a better economic blueprint to allow Malaysia performing as an onshore economic player in Southeast Asia and Asia, or even throughout the world.
