Can we trust unity govt’s politicians?

I once had a dodgy business partner from Europe. He eventually absconded, leaving behind a mess that I had to clean up. It was a huge loss for me, and it took me almost two years to bounce back.

The signs were ominous. He regularly started every sentence with the prefix: “…believe me, Shankar.” And, I should have known better as I was always uncomfortable with him.

I felt similar after the Unity Government National Convention 2023. I could not help but feel uneasy watching Anwar Ibrahim squirm a little in his seat while his deputy, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi waxed lyrical about the prime minister being the “real deal”.

Then we had the Loke Siew Fook poem about becoming friends with his enemies for the sake of unity. For Malaysians who follow our political landscape closely, it was a rather surreal convention.
