The king is meeting each parliamentarian individually to assess his opinion, while Dr Mahathir, as the interim prime minister, engages political party leaders from all sides. From projections of a unity or minority government to snap polls — such troubling times but all in an environment of peace. This Leader can vouch that Malaysians are well-informed about the situation judging from the number of readers on news portals which had increased dramatically over the past two days. He also says the fact that Malaysian stocks and currency rebounded yesterday could have put Malaysians more at ease. This Leader applauds them for their calm disposition during these politically and economically trying times.
