If it is not forthcoming, sooner or later, someone somewhere would come up with a suggested list...
Pakatan's 'shadow cabinet' list

Well, like it or not, that was a good start, and we can be sure there will be much criticisms over the choices made. The good thing is that it is only a suggested list and the feedback from others would enable fine-tuning of choice by Pakatan leaders. It will be a good test to see reactions from those proposed, to know whether they like the positions suggested. It will be a good time for them to think more carefully and decide whether they wish for a federal or state position. We have seen how some senior MPs felt left-out when their younger, or even newbies ( first-time state assemblymen) were selected as state Exco members. These positions are actually state ministers with perks like official car and driver to go with the powerful positions in each state. Ridiculous it might have been, Jelapang assemblywoman, who was sidelined for an Exco post and therefore not entitled to an official Camry, got much more than she bargained for, when her decision to jump ship was personally welcomed by PM Najib in his infamous grab of Perak state.
It can be a difficult position for a senior MP to decide (if he or she had to make a choice) whether to continue as an MP (if re-elected) and hope to be selected as a federal minister (if Pakatan won the GE which is rather chancy), or opt to stand for a state seat and hope to be an Exco member if the state was won by Pakatan.
For a less serious suggested list...
Where is Pakatan's Shadow Cabinet? Here is our choice.
