Disturbing trend of the bad and ugly emerging in New Malaysia


Changes: Is the dream of a new, race-politics-free Malaysia that began with Pakatan Harapan’s win last year slipping away? — Filepic

WHAT an exciting week it was for Malaysians. It reminded me of the highly acclaimed 1966 movie The Good, The Bad And The Ugly which starred Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Elli Wallach playing the three characters with these traits.

The good that happened was the government’s decision to make voter registration automatic and lower the minimum age to 18 at the same time. While the minimum age is still being debated, the automatic registration is a great move, I believe.
