Political ceasefire idea a non-starter, say analysts

[superadmin]

KOTA KINABALU: Analysts consider a political ceasefire between the government and the opposition to be a good idea but feel there will be hardly enough takers on the proposal.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah senior lecturer Romzi Ationg said a ceasefire would not bring any benefit to political players, who according to him “seemed only interested in gaining power.”

“It is possible that some might accept such a proposal but others may not.There is also a possibility of politicians attempting to manipulate the situation to pursue their own interests,” he told FMT.

The political ceasefire had been suggested by Upko president Wilfred Madius Tangau who had called for a confidence and supply agreement between the government and the opposition to allow Muhyiddin Yassin’s administration to govern without the worry of being overthrown.
