Country suffering from political fatigue, says Kadir Jasin
The veteran journalist says if left unchecked, the repercussions could be detrimental to the country.
Veteran journalist A Kadir Jasin has warned that Malaysia is experiencing political fatigue, citing declining voter turnout and low attendance at party events as key indicators. In a Facebook post, Jasin pointed to a drop in voter turnout from 84% in 2013 to 74.5% in 2022. He also noted that only 51.2% of the DAP's 4,264 delegates attended a special congress held on Sunday.
Jasin believes that infighting within political parties, such as the controversies involving PKR leaders Rafizi Ramli and Nurul Izzah Anwar, is contributing to the fatigue. He warns that if left unchecked, political fatigue could lead to disastrous consequences for the country, potentially resulting in a kleptocratic or kakistocratic government.
