Analysts laud unity government bid but doubt Malaysian politicians can handle non-partisanship

Thursday, 27 Feb 2020 05:42 AM MYTSome workers watch a special live announcement by Interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on February 26, 2020. — Picture by Hari Anggara

Universiti Teknologi Mara Sabah’s Tony Paridi Bagang was cautiously optimistic about the concept as a way out of the political uncertainty. “We’ve had Pakatan Harapan try before GE14 but even they could not sustain it with Tun Mahathir there. What more when Tun is no longer leading? It is doable, sure, but not sustainable,” he said.

After this fell through, Dr Mahathir still appeared to be on track to return as PM after nearly all major political parties expressed support for him to remain. “GPS still needs to pander to the state’s interest as their state elections are coming up,” he said, referring to Gabungan Parti Sarawak that is the state government in Sarawak.
