The difficult part is fulfilling the reformist agenda.
Shouting reformasi and doing reformations are two different animals. One needs only the vocal chords, the other needs not only strength of conviction but also guts and stamina to stay the course.
The rakyat have voted for change by kicking out the old regime despite all the odds. That says a lot about their aspirations - no more of the same old divisive, corrupt, oppressive politics and shenanigans!
The Pakatan Harapan leaders must show that they mean business! They should not pander to narrow political, racial, religious or palace interest.
The old regime's tired call of untuk bangsa, agama dan raja2 should be retired for untuk negara, rakyat dan kesejahteraan semua.
Everyone should help out. No one should be above criticism or being called out where justified. Or even not.
The people should be given space to voice their concerns and have their say without having to look over the shoulder for fear of being hauled up for speaking their minds.
Corruption and abuse of power must be dealt with without fear or favour and the culprits be made to account for their actions in the court of law.
Any one, be he the prime minister himself or a ruler, or anyone else, who has abused his position or power must be able to face up to criticisms. Or face the law.
That is the only way to ensure that Bolehland goes down not the slippery road to a failed state.
To ensure that demands lots of guts, stamina and strength of conviction of the leaders.
Populist and half measures just to appease will only fail in the end.
Do the Bolehalnd leaders need reminders?
