Is Anwar Delusional on his Ministers’ Performance?

 

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has given all ministers in his Cabinet a solid ‘A’ grade for their midterm performance so far. He made the commendation during a town-hall event named Rancakkan Madani at Dataran Putrajaya recently. At the event, Anwar said the ministers’ effectiveness could be judged by whether national policies focused on human values have helped improve Malaysians’ overall well-being instead of solely relying on economic figures.

None of the ministers lagged behind. He analysed every ministry in detail.  Anwar also cited recent successes such as economic growth, the Ringgit’s appreciation, and organising the 46th and 47th ASEAN Summit as examples of his scorecard. 

Anwar’s comments come at a time where the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition experienced its worst electoral performance in history, with PKR winning a single seat while DAP was completely annihilated in the recent Sabah state election. The pressure was further amped up when MCA president Wee Ka Siong urged Anwar to remove Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek from her position. 

It is not just Fadhlina, there is the Home Minister, the Transport Minister and a few others who are in the C, D, E or F categories. No one scored a solid “A”. And he as the PM had only a “C” according to me. Why? Because no major reforms, no new initiatives, no change to race and religion policies and no major war on corruption. If the PM wants to win the next GE, he and his ministers have to do much better!
