No. TSMY is not a good prime minister. Someone who allows the exclusion of opposition states’ CMs from a crucial meeting to discuss the pandemic response is not a good PM. Someone who brazenly uses GLC chief executive-ship to buy political support is not a good PM.
Someone who blatantly refuses to face parliamentary scrutiny is not a good PM. Someone who allows the blatant misuse of government resources by his appointed ministers during a pandemic is not a good PM.
He was an underperforming minister in the previous administration whose sole virtue was standing up to the kleptocratic culture that permeated BN. By embracing UMNO and replicating the culture he stood up against in GE14, his virtue is lost.
Maybe the fact that he is a malay male muslim who reads doa in live tv and has a tudung-wearing wife is enough for you. It’s not enough for me. Malaysia deserves so much better than him.
