BN win in Cameron a reminder to Pakatan – Anwar

“I believe this result will be a reminder to the leaders of Pakatan that we must be aware of the people’s frustrations with regard to the economy and cost of living…” – Anwar Ibrahim

 

While Barisan Nasional’s (BN) recent victory in Cameron Highlands by-election could be a good moral booster for the coalition, Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) loss should serve as a ‘wake up’ call for the government to re-evaluating their performance especially in terms of fulfilling their promises to the people.

While the Prime Minister himself is a number 3 with 103 statements, behind Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

 

Nevertheless, no one in the Government seems to be bold enough to defend the plights made by Pakatan Harapan for the past general election.
