Ismail Sabri’s botched show of majority support - superadmin - 08-08-2021 Malaysians are facing their worst times both in terms of the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic and a political system that has been impaired, not because the people made the wrong choice at the previous general election but by placing our trust in some wrong leaders. One party lost a good number of MPs elected on its ticket and is crying “give back our seats”. The other party appears to be trying to poach more MPs with the sole intention of remaining in power. MPs have been openly claiming they have been approached, but no one can say for sure whether the “offers” actually came from the poachers as claimed. In an electoral system such as ours and based on how Malaysians vote, the choice of the people has always been about the party and never the individual. For an MP to hold on to the seat while joining another party or sitting as an independent is tantamount to an act of political fraud upon the voters. - More -
