LETTER | It's time Harapan got real and explained to the people.
Some said the performance of the Harapan government has been lackadaisical thus far. Some claimed the racist and religious rhetoric played up by the opposition has done much damage to Harapan’s multiracialism. Some said it is the economy, that is, the cost of living and the livelihood of the people are not getting better.
Right now, I think the Harapan government can’t differentiate between short-, medium- and long-term solution to a problem. The government is perpetually firefighting even though it has all the time in the world to come up with a more coherent solution to a problem. The government was elected for a five-year term, but it is behaving as if the government is going to face the next general election next month.
It is time to get real. I think it is not the forte of Harapan to compete with the opposition in racism and bigotry. This is not what Harapan is all about. To fix the economy, the government must look at the fundamentals, not instant gratification and populist measures. Simple economics taught us that if we do too many quick fixes, we can’t solve fundamental problems. Quick fixes take away resources, leaving fundamental problems unresolved.
