The Mahathir Led PH Government Must Begin To Show That It Can Govern

The Maha led PH government must begin to show that it can govern.

It had timidly turned back, with its tail between its legs, at the first sign of opposition protest and gone back on ratifying ICERD and acceding to the Rome Statute. That is not how a government shows that it can govern - unable to take the heat and retreating quickly without a fight.

The two quick retreats have embolden the opposition and will make it more and more difficult for the government to govern.

Every time that opposition is not happy with what the PH government proposes to do, all it has to do is threaten a public rally.

Or even after the government has given in to them

How is the PH government effectively going to do anything at all if all it does is to cave in to the opposition at the very first sign of protest?

People will lose faith and confidence in such a weak government. Investors too want a government they feel will not flip flop on policies.

It is high time the Maha led PH government show that it is not afraid to do things that may not be popular with some people and the opposition or lose the battle to usher in the dawn of a new Bolehland.                                                                                                                     
Freedom of speech and expression is a wonderful thing. But the Maha administration should come down hard on people out to to disrupt harmony and destabilise the government.
