YOURSAY | ‘Harapan did not lose Kimanis because BN won. BN won because Harapan lost.’

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, I think Malaysians in general are very reasonable people. We have a high tolerance for leaders who make mistakes and it usually takes a lot to rile us.There is a very big difference between implementing policies which take a long time to bear fruits and not implementing policies at all. How long does it take to ratify Icerd and the Rome Statute ?

We cannot deny that time may be a factor in fulfilling elections pledges, yes, we cannot expect policy changes to industry, agriculture, education, or finance to manifest themselves overnight but this is not true across the board. To quote a few examples – the misuse of government machinery for party purposes, police neutrality and efficiency, granting contracts to favoured sons, the giving of bribes and similar incentives during by-elections under the guise of “They ask, we must give”, which only reaffirms our conviction that the quality of Harapan leaders at almost all levels is shamefully rotten.

The sequence of early wins and present loses paints a telling story – at the start, the rakyat were trusting and tolerant but soon enough they saw the government’s true colours and the pendulum has begun swinging the other way. Nothing short of a clear transition deadline will satisfy the voting public now. Do you really want Harapan to fall? You think Umno will forgive you?
