Pakatan Harapan should serve out its term and ensure that its reform agenda is fulfilled, say activists. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, February 28, 2020.

INSTITUTIONAL reforms will go down the drain, corrupt politicians will be back in power and most frightening is the possibility that politicians charged with numerous crimes will be let off the hook.

These are the concerns of civil society groups and activists on the possibility of snap elections if Parliament cannot choose a lawmaker with a clear majority to be the prime minister on Monday.

  • Snap poll will just indicate that democracy in Malaysia can be subjected to a heart attack and possibly dropped dead.

  • It's a frightening scenario but MORE tragic is the fact that it is Dr Mahathir who is facilitating and enabling the return of the criminally corrupt. All because of his own unfettered ambitions and undisguised hatred for Anwar. The man who was acclaimed for saving the country in 2018 is now actively conspiring with the very same nefarious forces to destroy Malaysia!
