YOURSAY | ‘Manage protests that will come with perceived unpopular changes. Change is never comfortable.’
University Malaya economic professor Terence Gomez is right as usual. The government will continue to be a resource-draining, licensing and loan-capturing patronage.
Therein, as articulated in Gomez's superb article, lies the political causes of the current lack of confidence in the economy. But ground zero in Peninsular Malaysia, the stark reality is over 60 percent of the population or more, who want not change that deprives them of their freebies and easy passage from cradle to death. And these interpreted as a right, not privilege.
If Harapan really wants to change the existing dynamics, they should do it without fear of losing the next by-election.
