The Muda president seems to be the only person brave enough to question this unity government’s backtracking on institutional reforms.
The Muda president and its sole representative in parliament has declared that from now on, he will be sitting in the opposition bloc. And on his first day itself, he pulled no punches, and called the unity government “hypocritical” for rejecting the emergency motion filed to debate the conditional discharge that Ahmad Zahid Hamidi received in his corruption case.
The prime minister has repeatedly taken the position that the government did not have a role in the discharge not amounting to an acquittal or DNAA for the corruption alleged deputy prime minister. But this decision is subject to intense debate and acrimony in the country. But Syed Saddiq has been receiving brickbats and vitriol, and it just demonstrates that in Malaysia, speaking truth to power is a terribly volatile and perilous thing to do. Activists and civil society leaders will tell you that when they unearth some misdemeanour, or call out the powerful, they get hauled up by the authorities.
Doesn’t this sound like a fairly accurate assessment of how things work here? The mess Malaysia finds itself in, is mainly due to the fact that the authorities have deployed race, religion, and other draconian ideas to quell and suppress the freedom of expression. At school, at college, and early on in our careers, the philosophy of putting our head down, being deferential, and listening explicitly to our teachers, lecturers or bosses is hammered home, isn’t it?
We tried it in the 2018 general elections, and again in 2022. But we seem to be fed a steady diet of the “same old, same old.” Our politics is a zero-sum game. If you call out the present government, it is automatically assumed that you are against them.
