More on why Badawi should step down. The author thinks that the way is now clear for Anwar to make a comeback.If this happens, is this good or is it not for Malaysia? Has Anwar changed, or is he being lionized because the Barisan Nasional is so reprehensible that anyone opposing it is automatically bestowed with a heroic aura?
MALAYSIA Boleh! (Malaysia Can!) is Malaysia’s national slogan but after last Saturday’s elections, the real slogan
should be Malaysians Boleh! for ordinary Malaysians are to be congratulated. The humiliation they handed their
government at the federal and state elections demonstrates how politically sophisticated and mature they have
become in the face of a high-handed and patronising government.
Five state governments were won by the opposition and federally, the Government had its worst showing ever. But
it was the clinical precision in which voters went about their business that was most impressive.
Zainuddin Maidin, the information minister, lost his seat. A measure of how complacent the Government had
become was its appointment of the inept Zainuddin to the role in the first place. His appalling performance on Al
Jazeera television late last year was a very public international humiliation for all Malaysians. |
