Perikatan Nasional’s Failure to Develop Four States
Perikatan Nasional (PN) should demonstrate its ability to develop the four states it governs and improve their economy if it believes it can do a better job of governing the country, says PKR vice-president Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
Ineffective Governance
Nik Nazmi, a PKR vice-president, emphasized that the PAS-run states of Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, and Perlis have not seen any significant changes in terms of economy and development under opposition rule. He accused PN of failing to improve the economy of these four states, also known as the ‘state government four’ or ‘SG4’.
Disappointing Economic Performance
The SG4 Group Sdn Bhd, set up last year, was supposed to bring economic development to the four states, but it has proven to be impractical and ineffective in doing so, according to Nik Nazmi. As a federal minister, he pointed out that Muhyiddin Yassin’s short-lived tenure as prime minister was marked by economic shortcomings, and PN has also been ineffective and disappointing as an opposition bloc in Parliament.
Failing to Pose Intelligent Questions
Nik Nazmi accused PN’s MPs of failing to pose substantive and intelligent questions in the Dewan Rakyat, which would ultimately benefit the people. He also criticized the coalition’s shadow Cabinet for failing to perform as an effective check and balance, failing to offer an alternative budget for the people to evaluate against the government’s.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Perikatan Nasional has failed to demonstrate its ability to develop the four states it governs, and its economic performance has been disappointing. It is crucial for the coalition to improve its performance and demonstrate its commitment to the people if it hopes to be taken seriously as an alternative to the unity government.
