Federal Bakery: Is the Covid-19 pandemic worse than endemic corruption? Worse than leaders stealing the public wealth? Worse than the general ineptitude of a bunch of political shysters who took on the mantle of government by stealth?

If the pandemic is worse than war as former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin seems to see it, it is because he and the bunch who call themselves ‘the government’ lack the aptitude to deal with the disease and need a metaphor to hide their failings.

Pompous platitudes of the type that is being meted out by this man and his friends won’t cure even an ant bite.

The pandemic reigns and will continue to reign for as long as democracy is banished, as long as we are ruled by street gangs who conduct the affairs of state through press conferences and the fiat of their own utterances and by invoking authority outside the democratic processes which this country was once ruled by.

The greater danger we face today is that all of what is happening is being justified by our experts as autochthonous alternatives to the constitutional set-up we are used to. Shame.

OCT: Muhyiddin’s decision to declare an emergency didn't achieve the results it was intended for.

Many countries fought the virus without declaring emergency. In the end, these countries ended up in much better shape.

Muhyiddin used the wrong tool to fight the virus and lost. In actual fact, the emergency helped him to remain as PM and to spend without being questioned.

Just look at the confusing SOPs and MCOs introduced by his then senior minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and how his ministers breached the rules. The rakyat became collateral damage while his ministers were not reprimanded.

His whole team of more than 70 ministers and deputy ministers, special envoys, and advisers couldn't manage the crisis. Most of the time was spent on defending his PM post. Eventually, he was nevertheless ousted by Umno.

This is the result when the PM the rakyat voted for was not the PM they got but a backdoor PM. Instead of the best of the best, we got the worst of the worst.
