Malaysia needs a legitimate government to fight covid-19

the country again into political uncertainty,” Malaysia’s king, Sultan Abdullah, admonished the country’s parliament this week. It is too late, unfortunately. Ever since Mahathir Mohamad resigned as prime minister in February, politics has been in flux. In theory, the king’s decision to appoint Muhyiddin Yassin to head a new government on March 1st should have put an end to the turmoil.

The parliamentary arithmetic is opaque because Mr Muhyiddin’s government was born out of a splintering of several parties in Dr Mahathir’s coalition. Defectors from both Bersatu, the party of the two prime ministers, and Keadilan, the biggest component of Dr Mahathir’s government, have joined forces with the opposition in what amounted to a parliamentary coup. The king, having consulted alls, believed that the turncoats, led by Mr Muhyiddin, had a majority.

Moreover, a government of dubious legitimacy is making unprecedented and sweeping decisions whose effects will be felt for years. As in many countries, the lockdown to curb covid-19 is bludgeoning the economy. The government has adopted a relief package with a notional value of 16% of. It will soon have to decide whether to restrict Malaysians’ freedoms yet longer, and whether to spend even more money it does not have to mitigate the consequences.

Good that you show your true colours.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️

no question on legitimacy. its a legitimate government and, its doing better.

Malaysia used to be picked as a possible dragon to come out of South East Asia. The sad tragedy is-Malaysia has proven a theory that said Islamic countries in S. East Asia suffer from corruption and bitter in fighting within their governments that will never allow them to prosper
