SINGAPORE: There are two major political events this year that may shape the future of the Malaysian government – with one being the Umno party elections, says Anthony Loke.
"One is of course the leadership election within Umno. Whether this will have any impact on the future of this government is uncertain because the coalition is made up of decisions made by the leadership of each component party.
He and former health minister Khairy Jamaluddin joined the stage as panellists at a session titled"The Political Outlook In Malaysia" which was moderated by senior fellow and coordinator, Malaysia studies programme, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, Dr Francis Hutchinson."In terms of the outlook it should be very stable. We should be able to bring stability to Malaysia," said the Seremban MP.
"If that is a scenario, of course, that will provide additional motivation for the parties to form the government right now to continue to cooperate and ensure that we can have a functional government," he said.Loke, however, noted that the most important challenge right now for the government was to bring about"political stability."
Echoing Loke, Khairy said that political stability was the most important thing that"needs to happen after the 15th General Election."
