PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s diplomatic style in recognising the importance of establishing common ground with Opposition politicians is key in the stability enjoyed by Malaysia in the past year, say analysts.

According to them, Ismail Sabri had taken over the premiership during a climate of political volatility, but through negotiations and mediation with the Opposition, mudslinging was put aside in favour of nation-building.
