A similar situation happened in the UK when Theresa May, upon replacing David Cameron, decided to hold a snap election on June 8, 2017. She made the decision to seek a government mandate and majority in the parliament to support the Conservative’s Brexit agenda. The cost of the UK snap election was said to be around £140m but it has undeniably created quite an unstable minority government which has shaken up the Conservative Party. In reflecting UK’s Brexit experience, is the Malaysian government willing to spend as much money for a snap election when the people face Covid-19?
However, the Australian government successfully convinced Australian lawmakers to pass the A$130 billion Salary Subsidy Bill on April 8, 2020. The bill was passed after the Australian government included Labour's proposal to protect the workers with temporary visas as part of the bill to address Covid-19 recovery plans in Australia.
Both parties were satisfied, and the amendment was passed without objection. This cooperation between the government and opposition is needed more than ever now, on the fact that PN is a minority government.We know that any minority government, in this case PN will face various difficulties in the parliament due to the extreme volatility of political support.
