Single multi-racial party the way forward, says political author

PETALING JAYA: Political author Lim Teck Ghee says a single multi-racial party could be a game changer to the current state of politics in Malaysia which he claims is deeply-rooted in race and religion.

He claimed that the coalition party system has not worked, and will not work in uniting Malaysians.

“What is needed is not the formation of new political hybrids and hydras based on racial or religious membership and interest and in which national interest has become secondary.

“What is required instead is a new approach with component parties (in a coalition) dissolving themselves and setting up a new single multi-racial party,” he said during a book launch yesterday.

Lim said for a single multi-racial party to exist, two ingredients were needed.
