Tanjung Piai a wake-up call for Pakatan

Without him as the glue that held the coalition together, it would have been impossible to end the six-decade reign of the Barisan Nasional government.

But Dr Mahathir must have been aware of the pent-up anger, even disdain in some cases, against his Pakatan government in the last few months – unless his ministers and officials have not been telling him the truth on the ground. Perhaps they believed that the next general election is still three years away and the resolute support for Pakatan will always be there.

Instead, it was a gathering to merely let off racist steam and taking away from other Malaysians. How is this conducive? But it also looked like a perfect plan to distract issues, although several DAP leaders were quick to please Bersatu and sent out Hari Raya greetings in Jawi. Local government elections remain elusive and the various posts went to Pakatan appointees, which is no different from the previous Barisan government.

In August, Dr Mahathir reaffirmed the commitment of the Pakatan government to ensure good governance and free Malaysia of corruption, reflected in the realisation of 21 of the 60 promises in its election manifesto.
