COMMENT | A parliament vote against Muhyiddin just won’t do
COMMENT | P Gunasegaram makes a number of good points in his latest opinion piece. But there’s one by him with which I fundamentally disagree.
It’s on the idea that Parliament, which sits (laughable) on Monday, should be allowed to endorse Muhyiddin Yassin’s tenure as prime minister as indeed it should his Perikatan Nasional (PN) regime.
Given the manner in which the PN regime snatched power at the end of February from a perfectly legitimate Pakatan Harapan regime – never mind all of its ills and faults – the Muhyiddin regime has resoundingly, undeniably zero legitimacy.
On this, I am at one with Gunasegaram.
But you can't metamorphose an illegitimate regime into a legitimate one by a sheer show of hands in Parliament.
It is too far gone...
