PETALING JAYA: Former federal minister Zaid Ibrahim has called for a general election to be held, preferably by mid-year, in order for a new set of capable leaders to take over because “this government has failed in a monumental way”.
Zaid that Malaysia’s biggest issue was not the economic downturn nor Covid-19, but the weak leadership in Putrajaya.
“The most important thing is to have a set of capable leaders to lead us out of this mess. I think, and many people think, that this government has failed in a monumental way.“How do we change this? The only way is through an election.
“Only a government given the mandate by the people can do the best job. I would urge the leaders as well as our King to look at this issue again and call for elections,” said Zaid, a former law minister.
