COMMENT | Can Harapan move on from Anwar Ibrahim?

Yet it's not for want of future that I'm here, he thought. It's for want of a present.”

- John le Carré, The Honourable Schoolboy

COMMENT | The problem with Pakatan Harapan’s leadership issue is that nobody is stepping up and challenging Anwar Ibrahim for the top job. Folks complain and moan about his leadership, but nobody wants to step up and offer an alternative vision.

Mainstream Harapan dogma, compromises of bromides like “reform agenda” and challenging the status quo but everything that Harapan has demonstrated so far is politics as usual for the opposition.

How can the base evaluate if someone is capable of leading the opposition charge when nobody wants to put their political careers on the line?...
