Insight - Some ideas for the new government


Lee Heng Guie: We are calling for the new government to ensure both government and political stability as well as rebuilding confidence and trust. It is not the time for politicking; it is about saving lives and livelihoods. Stay highly focused on the implementation of the vaccination programme and National Recovery Plan.

THE Covid-19 pandemic and economic recovery are taking centre stage in the run-up to the formation of a new Cabinet under Malaysia’s ninth Prime Minister. The new government will need to grapple with the prolonged pandemic, economic and social malaise as well as political challenges ahead.

We have been in more than an 18-month war against the pandemic to take the country out of the turbulence with resilience. While the pace of vaccinations has increased, the virus spread remains far from over, though it will likely be contained with a time lag. We are seeing lower admissions of serious cases in the state (s) reaching a high proportion of the population vaccinated. We must not let our guard down.
