Best foot forward
The newly installed Prime Minister has made the right moves, but he will need politicians to come together for the country’s greater good.
The bigger picture
IT’S an unpopular decision by the Selangor government to degazette a huge tract of forest land for development, and the Mentri Besar has found himself having much to answer for.
On with the show
We’ve had a couple of weeks to digest the idea of a new PM, so let’s get back to the things that matter again.
Done and dusted
With a new PM installed, it’s now down to him to lead the country out of the ravages of the pandemic.
Not on the cards
Malaysia simply can’t afford to be going to the polls right now because our lives and livelihoods come first.
People first, politics last
FORMER British Prime Minister Harold Wilson famously coined the phrase “a week is a long time in politics.” Given what has happened in Malaysia, a month could be an eternity.
Cranking up the volume
THE special five-day sitting of the Dewan Rakyat was meant for Members of Parliament to express their views on how best to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
A dose of errors
It’s bad enough braving the syringe but now we’re left wondering if vaccinators took the plunge with us.
Satisfaction guaranteed
In terms of entertainment value, it’s hard to beat our politicians. All that’s lacking are the popcorn and soda.
Down the tubes
WE’RE in a pickle, aren’t we? A rich one indeed. Public confidence is at rock bottom as our economy withers away under Covid-19, where daily infection rates are spiralling upwards with no end in sight. As a bonus, we have politicians who need reminding that talk is cheap.
New and improved
IT’S miserable to be in Selangor because we’ve now transitioned into the dreaded enhanced movement control order (EMCO). This will have a serious economic impact since the state has the highest number of factories, being the largest contributor to the country’s gross domestic product.
Unfazed by the phase
WITH the current phase of lockdown coming to an end tomorrow, every indication points to an extension, unless something dramatic happens soon.
