Malaysian politics needs a thorough clean-up for the nation to get back on the path that many would prefer. Much of what is happening now point to impending problems in various aspects of our lives.
In this sense, the six state elections on Aug 12 could well be the barometer of Malaysia’s trajectory. Pakatan Harapan (PH) parties may claim that the results will not have any bearing on the nation’s future, but the truth is they most likely will.
Malaysia could well lose the last vestiges of its multiculturalism and end up as a theocracy. While many would rejoice if this happened, a large number of Malaysians fear losing their basic rights.
PAS can go on claiming that non-Malays will be treated equally if it comes to power but many Malaysians think that it is mere election talk.
