Maybe it's because I felt that he's a bit "cold" as a person.
Nonetheless, I actually like his people that I know. I had good times with them, particularly when I was in Japan, South Korea and India.
Still, I somehow never really warmed up to Muhyiddin despite meeting him many times over many years including at his home base in Pagoh.
I was not even exactly cheering when he took over as PM after the Pakatan government's collapse that day.
That despite him being the crucial person who got rid off DAP and the gang from Putrajaya.
Then the Covid-19 crisis started.
That's when I began to look at Muhyiddin differently.
Ya, it was just the past few weeks that I really think the guy actually can do the job.
As far as I'm concerned he is doing well under the circumstances.
His team was also not doing badly except for some minor fumbles.
There were criticisms, of course, but that's normal for any government.
Muhyiddin himself seemed to be going all out and the way he carries himself, I believe he does instill confidence that we can beat this Covid-19 enemy.
For me, he's doing and saying the right things, so far.
Not bad at all.
Bear in mind that the guy is 74 and a cancer survivor.
And today he did something which touched my heart.
Despite his tight schedule and pressure of fighting the Covid-19, he still took the time to post this,
Regular readers of this blog should know that I have a weak spot for those with autism and their caregivers.
I'm glad that Muhyiddin as the PM cares about them even during this time of emergency.
Personally, that's the sort of things that count for me.
Back then, I was also grateful to Najib as PM because he and his wife took the initiative to set up Permata Kurnia early intervention center for children with autism.
Well, I hope we all Malaysians could unite behind the current government in this fight against Covid-19.
Forget about politics for now, as we need to save our country first.
I also hope that Muhyiddin will continue to provide good leadership for us all, at least until the fight is over.
Cheers and stay safe everyone.
We will see how muhi handles recession next 2 quarters. Many will be retrenched. It is not what I wish but it is coming. How many can pn put people on government payroll. There will be dwindling tax collection from companies with dwindling revenue. Companies the business entity are also tax payer. If company close down then no tax collection from these companies. Workers with salary below 3k dont pay tax thus no money to government. Companies making profit pay taxes. Biggest collection of taxes are from companies. It is the interest of nation to help companies to survive in order to generate tax collection. Rich people pay more tax, when there are less rich people then less tax collection. You may not like to hear the fact but you cant address the problem without knowing the fact.
ReplyDeleteSave the people first. No people, no companies.
Deleteand where does this companies get their moneys from ?

DeleteProblem with communicating with malaysians where idiots numbers are quite large within the population, the notice need to be short and easy to be understood akin to addressing kids rather than adults.
Unless u read and hear the statement properly, im sure they add in words like "unless there is emergency" and stuff.
Otherwise people gets creative with their justifications.

ReplyDelete#muhyiddinisindeedmyPM
After a tumultuous week long of political twists and turns, finally we embraced our PM8, maybe not in a celebrative style nor ecstatic mood for some, but to many, that was the best solution to resolve the power struggle impasse. The deadlock had been overwhelmingly dragged for so long which could have created an unhealthy and dodgy situation for the nation at that spell. Thus, a poignant inscription says " better an ending with pain than pain without end," is so true. Grateful that our new PM is no green horn in politics. Hopefully, his vast experiences in administrative governance will help bring forth a better government despite encountering harsh criticism and skepticism. As fate would have it, he is henceforth, almost instantly, put to the test, a fierce one, the Covid-19 crisis to deal with. The outcome of it will definitely determine his future undertakings in the centre of political stage. Well, he may not be perfect, but just wait and see what he has in store for us.
ReplyDeleteIn his maiden speech, he vowed to be a PM for all the people regardless of race and religion background. That will be another level of challenge. Sometimes, said is easier than done when it comes to walk the talk. Whatever it is, the path that he has chosen will not be a walk in the park nor a bed of roses, or perhaps, the rough and tumble of politics awaits ahead. Only time will tell.
Truth to be told, thankfully that our PM8 turned out to be TSMY instead of the unbecoming and morally tainted laden person who is now striving hard to put on airs via social media to draw attention and gain support as if he is holier than thou.
wansee c,
DeleteI couldn't agree more. We must realize MY is the longest serving minister in his cabinet by only a 2 years break since fired by MO1. He is no rookie like Annie's friend menteri air panas but has been minister since mid 1980's. That's 35 years la.
By his appoinment to PM8 the sickly PH politics were locked in the trunk for a while. I am not fond of what has happened that brought about MY's appointment, but Sultan Abdullah knows better to zip the crisis and he chose a former DPM.
As for how MY handles the Covid-19 pandemic, I'd say he is doing ok. We see his concern for the people. People's lives and ability to weather the pandemic are first priority. Business & economy will be chaotic once the pandemic is over; no doubt. But that is to be dealt with when the time comes.
So what if Malaysia falls into deep recession ? We adapt la. Correct or not !

I had the same feeling as yours when comes to Muhyiddin but being an umno member for so long I have come to realised that no matter what you will always side with the winner. I admired Tengku Razaliegh but when Musa Hitam won I began to support Musa Hitam. When Musa Hitam teamed up with Ku Li I supported them but when they lost I moved my allegiance towards Mahathir. I have great admiration for Ghafar Baba but when he lost his position to Anwar you know who I supported. You see, it is a lot easier to console yourself to change side to the winner rather than wasting your time an effort supporting the loser. Making U-turns or changing sides takes a whole lot of principle. Always be with the winner, that's my principle.

Pematuhan PKP di pasar borong KL tidak memuaskan, kata menteri
Bernama -April 4, 2020 5:44 PM
Tahap kawalan dan pematuhan garis panduan yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) bagi kawasan kejadian positif Covid-19 di Pasar Borong Kuala Lumpur tidak memuaskan, kata Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan, Annuar Musa.
Pekerja pasar itu juga tidak memakai sarung tangan, ramai yang memakai penutup mulut dan hidung kain yang tidak memenuhi piawaian KKM
