Democracy is always bottom-up and only the people decide who governs them. FMTNews Rakyat
Installing Muhyiddin Yassin’s so-called Perikatan Nasional through the backdoor as the “new government” is majorly troubling in anybody’s book. Not in Muhyiddin’s, it seems, or his backers’.PN hasn’t won the popular mandate through open and fair elections. It doesn’t enjoy voter legitimacy. Therefore, it has neither the business nor the right to rule.Effectively, PN and its backers have spat in the faces of, to use an ancient Roman political term, the publics.Democracy is never top-down.
Could the publics still have their revenge? A snap poll is possible if Muhyiddin can’t garner or “buy” support. There’s something bigger in the offing that should worry the publics. It’s called tomorrow. Malaysia’s tomorrow. Your tomorrow. Your children’s tomorrow. Your children’s children’s tomorrow in politically wrecked Malaysia.
What isn’t undoable is the return of political repression under this regime or the “real one” to come, more so if the present regime thinks it faces an early demise or the “real one” thinks the opposition is too weak to check it. But make no mistake: The publics’ personal and collective stake in the country now hangs in the balance under Muhyiddin and his supporters.
PPBM in time will disintegrate. Its people are incapable.. Sacked education minister Maszlee Malik was a prime example of incompetence, which he has labelled as “mistakes”. How self-effacing.Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim yet another.
