COMMENT | For Malaysia’s sake, the DAP-PKR-Amanah axis really needs to think out of the box.
| “2018 - that was the best year,” a human rights lawyer told me recently as we lamented the stillborn dream that was a progressive new Malaysia.
I had to agree – who would have thought the euphoria in the aftermath of the change of government would prove to be a high watermark of my life as a Malaysian as we slowly slipped beneath the waters. I was sent to a World Editors Roundtable in the EU headquarters in Brussels in late 2018 and it was a great thing to see and feel that Malaysia had reclaimed our dignity in the eyes of many. A fresh new start as we overthrew a kleptocracy at the ballot box.
– and I have to say that I waited a while after the government fell because I didn’t want to write anything too volatile in an emotional time. That column was about how our elected representatives stood poised to make a mockery of our vote, and sure enough that played itself out within a week of the column’s publication. I also referred to the sycophants who were the cogs in the machine of old Malaysia – you will see them jostling for position strutting their stuff right now. Jostling indeed.
