So, we have different views and they are pretty good. They nailed down the issues which Pakatan Harapan must do something about if they want to stay relevant and not get kicked out come GE15.It is pointless to do everything at once because the resources and humanpower are not there yet. Harapan’s leadership is sorely needed on this, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad notwithstanding, for many of his ideas are just taking us back to what he perceived to be the good old days.
I suspect many in the Harapan government are still influenced by the Umno-PAS narrative on Malays and Muslims, including, to some extent, the prime minister. And many of the younger members in the Harapan government appear clueless about what they should do to counter this Umno-PAS narrative.But many Malays, I believe, are still entrenched in their thinking by the 60 years of Umno-PAS narrative that the Malays/Muslims have been besieged by the non-Malay"pendatangs and ill-breds".
Their racist and bigoted rantings are very effective to whip up racial sentiments and a siege mentality. Everything seems to be under threat. And it is working because no serious attempts are being made to counter the preposterous allegations.Indeed, the problem is that the government is short of cash after decades of kleptocracy and profligacy.
We have been living beyond our means on borrowed money. Unfortunately, revenue from oil and gas is rapidly dwindling and some estimate that we will run out of these hydrocarbons over the next decade. The original Harapan script was right - Mahathir’s sole purpose was to help to defeat BN, lead a transition government for about two years and then allow a new crop of reformation leadership to take over.
