COMMENT | At a Malaysiakini-organised forum last November titled “One Year of Madani Government: What’s Next?”, the panellists - of which I was one - agreed that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had a long way to go to deliver on his many promises.I gave a particularly tough assessment, giving him and the Madani government a D minus based on its performance to date.”The only thing Anwar is consistent about is his oratorical skills,” I remarked.
“But before he came to power, his coalition promised to do away with the PPPA and the Sedition Act.“Instead, we saw what happened with the Swatch watches that had rainbow colours supposedly supporting the LGBT community. This is repeating what the Umno government did with Bersih, banning yellow T-shirts,” I said.The media, I said, was promised more freedom but was disappointed with websites getting blocked.The reaction to my assertion was not unexpected though.
