Expect more anti-climax in the search for Malaysia’s 10th PM

[superadmin]

AS Malaysia enters its fourth day post-GE15 (15th General Election), there is little light or no light at all envisaged as to who exactly is going to spearhead the quest to lift the country up from its economic turmoil (ringgit depreciation, spiralling inflation, dismal food security prospect and huge national debts, to name a few ills).

First thing first, the impasse over the appointment of the country’s 10th prime minister (PM) remains unsettled – and will likely not be settled anytime soon – even as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has decreed yesterday (Nov 22) evening to meet each and every one of the 30 Barisan Nasional’s (BN) future MPs at 10.30am today (Nov 23).

It seems that the coalition which came in third in terms of the number of seats – after Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) 82 and Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) 73 – is very likely to buy time for it has yet to firm up on which coalition to support to form Malaysia’s next federal government.
