It is ironic that the reforms are now being pursued at great pace by the new Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who was also the old Prime Minister who had pursued Machiavellian policies and undermined some of the institutions during his previous rule. My generation remembers the damage caused by his pursuit of ethnocentric policies and ‘crony capitalism’ when he was a deputy prime minister. Secondly, the Federal Constitution should be amended to limit the office of the Prime Minister to two terms. > the office of the Parliamentary Opposition Leader should be given ministerial standing and necessary facilities especially for research. May 9 has given a lifeline to this country and if governed well, in no time Malaysia can emerge as one of the Asian tigers again.
