Abdullah Badawi and transparency
August 4th, 2008 by MM2H
One or two more things we need to look into…
Students queried prime minister Seri Abdullah Badawi at the Malaysian Student Leaders Summit in Kuala Lumpur. try to find one fact in PM’s answer:
Question: How do you feel about the promises that you have made to us but haven’t kept?
Answer:
…. The reform of the police force has already started but we still have one or two more things that we need to look into, so we’ll continue with that.
The reform of the financial and education sectors has already started.
There are challenges we have to face.
I’ve chosen a very important agenda, which is transparency and accountability…
As an observer I would love to see some transparency into:
- which one or two things need to be looked into?
- what has been done in the reforms and how do you evaluate these reforms so far?
- which challenges are you still facing and didn’t address yet?
- what is in your very important agenda?
Did you get any wiser with this answer?
We know this political strategy very well in Europe. It can be used to gain some time when politicians get delayed a bit in executing promises. But after 4 years, this strategy looses its power and credibility.
