NSTleader: The PH coalition was elected by a majority. This must be respected. There are 26 ministers and 23 deputy ministers. All the races we call Malaysian are represented.

Tanah Melayu, Malaya and Malaysia. Each had its birth pangs. Becoming or being is never easy. Each hides a history that needs understanding.

Politics has always been about numbers. It will always be. Not that it numbers us, but we number them. The idea of bringing Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak into Malaysia was a balancing act as well. This is an open secret. Equation equals equilibrium, you may say. Marginalisation is as old as colonisation. It was there when the British arrived. It was there when the British left.

Understandably, the Malays feel isolated. While the Chinese support one or two parties, the Malays back a few. There is nothing wrong in a multi-party system so long as there is good governance.
