‘New Malaysia’ dream under threat


New politics wanted: The approval rating of the Federal Government, including the PM, has plunged, according to an Invoke Malaysia survey conducted two weeks ago.

WHEN DAP’s adviser Lim Kit Siang spoke at the “New Malaysia, Old Politics” seminar in Universiti Malaya recently, he said the Pakatan Harapan government needed more than 10 years to fulfil its pledges to build a better Malaysia.

Lim, also the Member of Parliament for Iskandar Puteri, told the audience frankly that while the May 9 general election (GE14) had given Malaysia a chance to reject kleptocracy, the “New Malaysia” has yet to be born.
