Cabinet does not inspire confidence

[superadmin]

When you see the dreary Cabinet line-up with the usual faces of politicians who have been around for decades, do you feel inspired? No!

What else do you see? Many yes-men!

Despite Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s reassurances, few people, including many Malays, have confidence in the new government.

The Muhyiddin Yassin administration failed to kickstart the economy and save businesses and jobs. Despite emergency rule, the previous prime minister failed to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.

Muhyiddin allowed his ministers and supporters to flout the social distancing and lockdown rules, then expected the rakyat to rigidly obey them. Why should they? Will Ismail allow the same double standards to continue?

The nation faces an uncertain future and the rakyat are afraid. Swapping ministers around like passing the parcel is not going to give them confidence in the Cabinet. Most of the ministers are known for their lack of performance in previous Cabinets. They have no new ideas about solving Malaysia’s innumerable problems, many of which revolve around race, religion and rasuah. How successful will this new Cabinet be in jumpstarting the economy?
