LETTER | 2021: A year for a more democratic and stable Malaysia
A
-
LETTER | The year 2020 has left us with many new challenges and experiences for Malaysia. The world and Malaysia seem to have leap-frogged to 2021 through the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the nature of politics has not changed much.
The pursuit of power and influence still continues and justifies the saying that politics never sleeps. This has been exemplified by many incidents, starting with the Sheraton Move that led to the fall of the federal government and six state governments because of party/coalition hopping, to the crisis amongst the opposition in their attempts to reclaim federal power through a de facto vote of no confidence over the 2021 budget.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement (ABIM) is of the view that the Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah’s speech on the current political situation in Perak yesterday clearly demonstrates the need to reform the political system and stop power abuse.
Its president Muhammad Faisal Abdul Aziz said all parties, Perak MPs and state assemblymen in particular, must work towards a better political system and having proper practices in place.
He said most importantly, there must be laws to disqualify elected representatives to ensure the mandate given by the people during elections is not abused by political leaders.
