MCA's first central committee meeting tomorrow

Tomorrow, my boss will chair his first party central committee meeting. By journalistic standards, especially in the Chinese media, it's a huge event, coming on the heels of his recent victory, and more importantly, his promise for change.

Being from the media previously, I can imagine that the press' focus will be on the appointment of party posts, chiefly that of the secretary-general, CC members and State liaison committee chairmen. All these will be deliberated during the committee meeting.

I have received far too many queries from the media and non-Press people on who is in the List. I ought to be flattered that they think the party president consults me on such things. Thanks, but no thanks.

I can understand the media and party members' anxiety or sense of excitement, but sorry, I really do not know. In fact, I DO NOT WANT to know. Not knowing makes my job easier, really.

Sorry, folks. But I think the new administration can make do with a little sense of mystery and suspense sometimes.
