With Johor and Negeri Sembilan soon to have state elections (and maybe Malacca also), Malaysia feels like it is having a general election. As i Capital said 3 issues ago, before Malaysians allow themselves to be swept into another electoral storm, they would do well to reflect on the country's present political economic condition, especially since the Anwar administration came into power in Nov 2022.

In Part 1, i Capital reminded Malaysians what they had suffered from 2018 to 2022, all of which were unnecessary, especially the chaotic consequences arising from the betrayal of Malaysians by the 7^th prime minister in Feb 2020. Remember the broken promises by three prime ministers (7^th to 9^th), the backdoor governments, the pandemic mismanagement, the empty EPF accounts, the white flags outside homes in a country that could not feed its own people and the falling Ringgit. We asked whether Malaysians wanted to go through that again. We can be sure that the next time, the situation in Malaysia will be worse, more severe and most likely irreversible.

Should Malaysia experience another bout of poilitical turmoil and political greed and short-termism, we can gurantee that Malaysians will face a bleak and dark future. Part 3 of this special series will examine these possible painful consequences. i Capital hopes it will help shake up the complacency so pervasive amongst Malaysians.
