Fitch Solutions’ report noted that only 8.6 per cent or six portfolios from the Cabinet were given to those from minority groups, with only two full ministers, namely Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong named transport minister and Datuk Seri M. Saravanan as human resources minister. “We see this as a source of further dissatisfaction for minorities over the coming quarters,” read the report.
The report noted that despite the added risks of the Covid-19 virus outbreak, remarks or decisions that could be deemed too extreme for the minorities might see locals foregoing health risks to express their dissatisfaction towards the ruling parties. “In addition, we note the risk of bloat, and the need to accommodate more opinions could have a negative impact on the policymaking process,” it read.
