COMMENT | What would Harapan do differently if they were in power?

"It is rather disappointing that the government did not have the courtesy to consult 46 of our esteemed medical colleagues, who signed the open letter to the prime minister, to pick their brains as to how best to move forward."

- Dr Musa Mohd Nordin in his article.

COMMENT | The Perikatan Nasional’s emergency declaration has given Pakatan Harapan an easy emotional target, which is another distraction from the pandemic that is crippling this country.

When Harapan does comment about the pandemic, it is normally about how the current government - or should that be wannabe dictatorship - is mishandling the pandemic. This is fine up to a point, but if Harapan is really paying attention, people are beginning to ask, what would Harapan do differently if they were in power?

So far, the PN government has been more interested in grabbing power on the excuse of battling the pandemic but shown very little aptitude as to how to exercise such power beyond warning folks not to question their power.

All this plays out in the press and on social media but what is lost is the fact that the rakyat does not have an alternative strategy when it comes to battling this pandemic...
