A unity government is the only viable solution in helping Malaysia quickly refocus its efforts towards addressing the bigger issues at play such as the multiple threats to its economy, says econometrics expert Mahendhiran Nair.
The interim prime minister has said that if permitted, he would try to establish an administration that does not favour any party but prioritises the interests of the country instead.Mahendhiran said a unity government would give the prime minister a stronger hand to pursue the reform agenda, to rid the country of financial scandals and strengthen the fundamentals of the economy. This would enable it to re-emerge as a “roaring tiger economy”, like in the early 1990s.
“He has lamented about this, that he had to consult all the parties before taking any bold policy decisions. Often, he would end up under severe criticism from his party members and opposition,” said Mahendhiran, who is also the CEO of Monash Malaysia R&D Sdn Bhd and the Monash University vice-president of R&D.
He believed that everyone was aware that it would take someone of Mahathir’s stature to make a political transformation as such - via a unity government - to get Malaysia to leap into the next stage of development.Mahendhiran further opined that the current political dynamics in Malaysia made it hard for any future prime minister to govern a multiethnic and multireligious Malaysia, and this, in turn, jeopardises efforts to build a stable and globally-competitive economy.
Despite the economic issues the country is reeling from, Mahendhiran believed that in the long term, a unity government comprising elected representatives from all parties would fare well in the country.
also good for our Menteri Ekonomi
Welcome to China and have a look....Covid-19 is waiting for you.
Experts .....?
Would democracy take a back seat?🤔
eddydaud Disagree.
Experts are a bunch of people funded to speak what they are allowed to speak because it sounds good when you say 'says expert'.
This is the problem when you get quotes and opinions from a half past six expert who doesn't get the concept of accountability
Not if the lenders are racists.
Short term yes but for LONGEST term
New York Times oped ' Anwar Ibrahim will be transformational PM'
Enough of experts. Don't dare say again about better door economy. You unhonourable man.
Unity Government is “I don’t give a shit about anwaribrahim , and I want to do my way, only my way”. This is not what I vote for! Not acceptable at all.
Expert = palataologist
Plausible notion!
This is not democracy la
says who?so who is going to do balance and check?what for we voted for PH and ended like this?
In other countries, maybe yes. But here, you have kleptocrats. If you let these Umno and PAS people get near the cookie jar, habis lah..
Expert who?
But bad for democracy
Unity govt will be filled with former Najib goons that plunder rakyat. You want to be told to eat kangkung again. Clean govt, unity govt is just bullshit.
What rubbish. A clean and accountable gov is good for the economy, not a unity government made up of kleptos, supremacists and desperados.
Understand why Tun Razak formed Barisan Nasional. And how it united Malaysians who wanted peace and economic prosperity. Best method to solve Malaysia's problems now is Rukun Negara and Unity Government. jezlai
