COMMENT | Caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has called for a general election. The opposition and even PAS opposed the calling of the election now. The pandemic is still ongoing and we are in flood season. The opposition is not ready.

Many among the electorate have become disillusioned and cynical about politicians. Whom to trust? Who are the leaders they can rely on to carry out their pledges and the mandate given? How do they make sure corruption stops?

It is not possible for the opposition to come in without a high voter turnout. It is also not possible for the opposition to win without substantial Malay support. So how do we get a high voter turnout?

And how do we get the Malays to vote for non-Malays or for Harapan Malays?
