Unity government not such a good idea, says analyst

PETALING JAYA: An analyst disagrees with academics who apparently think that a unity government is best for Malaysians when the state of emergency ends.

A stable government would be better, said Oh Ei Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs.

Oh said the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government had clearly lost its parliamentary majority and was hanging on to power only through the emergency.

He said Malaysia needed a new government led by a prime minister commanding a strong majority in the Dewan Rakyat and installed without going through an election. “Only the King can effect such a move,” he said.
