LETTER | Malaysian politics today is the epitome of politics without principle.
| When Vision 2020 was first launched in 1991, I did envisage a better, more united, and a prosperous Malaysia despite whatever apprehensions we might have at that time.Would it be a fair representation if I said that the country’s politics is still as “third world” and as “chaotic” as ever? Would it be fair to describe Malaysia today as parochial, divided, haphazard and disorganized as ever?
It is saying different things to different crowds. It is saying things without the intention to fulfill them. It is about who can make more “convincing” and “believable” empty promises.When Pakatan Harapan took over, we also said the same thing – the new government is very good and has done much to dismantle the idiosyncrasies of the old government.
Today, do politicians leading Malaysians to greater good or leading us further apart, to be more extreme, more parochial, and bigoted? I think your guess is as good as mine.
