DEC 26 — 2019 was a tricky year for PH. After winning the election the previous year, the pressure was on full steam for the new government to meet the high expectations of the electrorate. Perhaps a resounding success was never realistic, but when you belt out a tune that is so different from what’s written on the song sheet, then theres’s no choice but to face the music.
The list goes on, but suffice it to say the missed opportunities have weakened the coalition’s stability, stunted foreign investment, encouraged the opposition, and discounted the government’s credibility. This is a dangerous cocktail as we head to the mid-way point of PH’s maiden term. The same concurrence of outliers that converged to sink BN in GE14 could potentially do the same for PH in GE15.
This includes clarity on many of the big debates that fill the digital newsprint and social media, namely, those of leadership succession, economic vision, digital transformation, recouping stolen funds from the 1MDB conspirators, and hunting down, prosecuting and jailing the criminals involved.
