JUNE 21 — With Pakatan Harapan now stuck at an impasse for their prime minister candidate, perhaps it is time to ask this question — does it have to be either of them?

Pakatan lawmakers should be reminded — whoever you choose, you will have to sell to the 14 million plus voters out there. If you somehow win a no-confidence vote and the King allows you to form government, you will need to somehow ensure that your administration caters to the young, including the 18-year-olds who will be automatically registered by then.
