Poppy: An interim government is the right solution, but it needs the participation of all the various political parties, including the opposition.
A leader that both sides of the political divide accept should be chosen to lead. Those chosen as ministers and deputies are selected according to merit and also from both sides.
They will run the administration until the Covid-19 crisis is brought under control. Only then a decision is to be made as to the date of the general election.
Umno should not lead the interim government and makes all the decisions concerning the future direction of this nation.
It will want to further its agenda to grab as many seats in the coming elections. At the same time, Umno leaders Najib Abdul Razak and Ahmad Zahid Hamidi will be the ones pulling the strings of the puppet they will put in the PM's chair.
OCT: There is a desperate need for the right people to form the interim government. More important is a team of experts who have the expertise in crisis management, health care, finance and economy. These are the four main sectors that need them.
All selections must be based on meritocracy and have the right credentials, not more politicians as the rakyat have seen what politicians have done to Malaysia.
There must be ownership with clear objectives, action plans and deliverables. Whoever fails to perform to expectation will be terminated immediately and not promoted as in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
This is a dire situation. Malaysia is on the brink of disaster. A bipartisan team with a vision to really help Malaysia to recover is needed. Right now, politics must take a back seat. Let the professionals do the job at warp speed.
