'What Malaysia needs is a great reset, and because of the broad representation of the unity government, it can achieve much more if it exhibits courage and wherewithal.' - Ivanpal Singh Grewal
After almost 100 days in government, a recent survey by several media outlets tells a story of a very mixed and confused reaction to the performance of the unity government.This binary approach to politics forms the very fabric of Malaysian life. Race is a factor that we cannot escape. Subconsciously, we are guilty of it in our way.
In India, pro-Hindu nationalists are taking very strident stands against Muslims. Cow slaughter is now banned in most states even though not too long ago, India was one of the largest exporters of beef in the world.Back in Malaysia, the election has thrown up some serious questions. A majority of the Malays/Muslims voted for Perikatan Nasional, and a majority of the non-Malays/Muslims voted for Pakatan Harapan.
PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has drawn the battle lines with the Unity Government by claiming it is on mushy ground.Hadi also actively purveyed the theory that more non-Malays/Muslims voted compared to Malay/Muslims; hence, Perikatan did not form a government on its own.However, independent researcher Dr Briget Welsh has disputed Hadi’s figures on voter turnout given our voter demographics.
Of course, this is a very general assumption because Umno, for all its fault, is solely responsible for creating the Malay middle class but is now being bitten by the excess of its wealth distribution policy. This begs the question, how does the Unity Government overcome the same problems of ethnoreligious balancing that have confronted almost every government before it?
