The Malaysian Prime Minister Anhua took office for more than a hundred days. The political honeymoon period with voters has passed. All circles expect the united government (in fact the co -government) that he leads can do it as soon as possible, but everyone's definition of "actions" can beBut they are different, even contradictory.There is also the main reason why the new government is difficult to "move" here.
For Malaysian progressive elites and even people with reform thinking, Malaysian officials have adhered to the formulation of many policies with many racists because of more than half a century.Religious beliefs) instead of performance as the criteria for governance, coupled with these policies often colluded with officials and merchants, so that a group of people can be full of private sacs, resulting in the overall national potential of Malaysia.Wait for the country to enter the list of high -income countries.
The crown disease epidemic has made the Malaysian economy falling thousands of feet, and hundreds of wastes are treated. Everyone expects that the new government can have a large number of structural reforms, at least gradually abolishing some obvious racial discrimination policies, so that the whole country can go up and down.Regardless of the skin color, work together to fight the economy and boost the short -term economic development. In the long run, it can enhance the competitiveness of Malaysia in Southeast Asia and even the world, so that local merchants are more willing to leave development, and attract more foreign capital.
Anwar and its people's Justice Party, as well as the Hope Alliance, have not tried to cut off the deep -rooted racism policies for many years, but after all, performance and integrity are promoted.The fiscal budget launched by the Minister of Finance is looking forward to it.
But after the budget was announced, they might be disappointed.Anwar's budget is quite pragmatic as a whole. He did not decorate the current socio -economic situation of the Malaysian Kingdom, but pointed out the various severe challenges faced by the country as a treasure, including high government bonds, incompetent input, inflation, greedy, greedy, greedyRotten and so on.But he launched some measures such as luxury taxes.In the second half of the speech, we walked back to the old path of most of the previous budgets, explaining in detail the government's series of emergency money measures, and it was disappointing.
Anwar has not been able to make progressive reforms at present, and may have political pain to a certain extent.In addition to the Pakatan Harapan with innovative thinking, the united government he led, as well as UMNO with deep racism concepts.Anwar's budget and other policies must negotiate with friendly parties such as UMNO in advance. At least they must obtain their principled consent. Otherwise, once it is not supported in the votingThe government falls.
No matter how much Anwar or the Pakatan Harapan wants to implement a more reform and reliay, UMNO will never agree, because it will hurt the versatiles accumulated by UMNO for many yearsInterests will also cause the dislike of UMNO supporters, thinking that UMNO can no longer effectively defend their vested interests and the absolute political and economic dominant positions they should enjoy.
Since the last election, Malaysia's political opposite layout has undergone unexpected large shuffle.Umno, supplemented by the presence of the interests of the ethnic group and defending the religious status, apparently no longer won the favor of most Malay voters.Most Malay voters now choose to support the Islamic Party, which mainly supports religious status and defend the interests of ethnic groups, and the Iraqi Party's friendly party in the National Alliance and the Ugama Unity Party similar to UMNO.The seats won by the National Alliance are twice as many as UMNO. Among them, the Iraqi Party is doubled, and the National League was almost able to organize a government that is close to a single ethnic group at the time.Therefore, the current political opposite of Malaysia is the Pakatan Harapan of the Reformist, coupled with UMNO, which is the main racist, and the other side is the Iraqi Party, which emphasizes religion first, and the national alliance of the Turkish Party, which also focuses on racism.
Mu Yuding, the chairman of the former Prime Minister, was recently charged with corruption and was the second former Prime Minister who was picked up by Najib.How will this event develop in the end, which will bring the poor reputation for the Turkish Party Party, or it will inspire the more enthusiastic support of Muyudin as a supporter of political persecution and deserves close attention.
Most of the Malaysian support obtained by the government comes from UMNO, not a fair party with Malaysian party members.Therefore, if Anwar dares to launch a series of reform policies, the traditional supporters who originally chose to cooperate with the Pakatan Harapan in the above -mentioned mainstream factions in UMNO may simply support the national alliance.
Malaysia will usher in the states in the six states in the next few months. These may impact the election, so Anhua's current governance must be the camp.
