Di Singapura, selepas Lee Kuan Yew, anaknya Lee Hsien Loong.Di Filipina, selepas Diosdado Macapagal, anak perempuannya Gloria Arroyo dilantik Presiden.
Di Indonesia, selepas Soekarno, anak perempuannya Megawati Soekarnoputri pula menjadi Presiden.
Di Malaysia, selepas Tun Abdul Razak, Mac 2009 nanti anak nya Najib akan mengikut jejak bapanya menjadi Perdana Menteri.
Apakah kelebihan anak-anak Presiden dan Perdana Menteri ini?
Jawapannya ialah keistimewaan dan jalan mudah yang diberikan oleh ahli keluarga mereka untuk menapak arena politik elit.
Itulah pandangan James Chin penganalisa politik di Monash University.
"The answer appears to be structural. In all the countries mentioned above, the children are given privileged access to the political elite at any early age and groomed by their family for a political carer. This could not be clearer than Najib's case. When his father Tun Razak died of leukaemia on January 14, 1976, Najib took over his father's constituency at the age of 22. He became a member of cabinet a few years later." - James Chin.
