Laws like the fake news act they said were epitomes of evil in a democratic country, they now have second thoughts about repealing.
They are even tying themselves up in knots about recognising the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) simply because some smart people said that recognition would pose, inter alia, a civilisational problem, whatever that meant hahaha.....
Sure, several civilisations have toppled over in countries that do recognise the UEC as an university entrance qualification, including the one down south ho ho ho.....
In truth, all the objections are about this thing called ketuanan bangsa ( supremacy of race) and little to do with common sense.
The PH government don't have the guts to tell off the religious and racial bigots for fear of offending their sensibilities and losing the support of a certain section of the population. How different is that from the toxic politics of the previous government?
They are going soft on people, including MPs, who even object to flight stewardess uniforms as being 'menjolok mata' (literally poking the eyes) meaning too sexy and revealing, an insult (and temptation?) to their libido hahaha....
Instead of telling these easily titillated people to go fly kites or ride the camels.......
And while the PH government talks about fighting corruption across the board, they seem to focus on one man. And even here, they are moving so slowly and tenderly that for all intents and purposes, they seem uncertain of themselves.
We know, we know, it is still early days, not yet a 100 days since PH took over Putrajaya.
But all things begin with the excuse of 100 days and you know, things drag on and they become the same old same in no time.
