MP SPEAKS | The battle can only be won if the deep state is convinced that the Harapan government is stable.

The deep state is, in fact, an important reason why institutional and political reforms for a"New Malaysia" are not as rapid as they should be.

“But there is no guarantee of success to reach the goal of a 'New Malaysia' for this is work of a decade or two, and we can always be hijacked and the nation-building direction diverted along the way. “This is not the way of democracy, where there is a clear distinction between the political leadership and the government administration, requiring the new government to bring along the old administration to effect the transition, reforms and changes in the country.”

This is a lesson for the deep state for it must accept that the aspiration for a"New Malaysia" is the aspiration of all Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or region and that the will of the people in a democratic Malaysia must prevail. Mahathir said: “There are some who feel that the government is not as good as the previous one because this government does not allow bribes. There are some who feel this government should not continue but should go back to a corrupt government which benefits them.”
