Malaysia needs new blood as the Leadership of the country. The country should be willing to take the risk of a new leadership rather than believing that the old leadership would be able to make changes to the country. The old leaderships are not willing to take the risk that would jeopardizes their position and interest. It is very timely for Malaysia to develop a ‘Succession Planning’ of the country leadership. NOW is the right time when Malaysia is facing with the ‘Leadership Crisis’. We are not short of young leaders, but we need to give them the opportunity to rise to the occasion. We need them to challenge and be challenged.
Malaysia always known to create history in having the largest, longest, biggest, highest, shortest and include the latest one the most number of person vying and eyeing for the position of Prime Minister (PM) at any single time.
We have a sitting PM, we have the old PM that think his position was taken wrongfully from him. We have a waiting PM for the second time, in 1998 and in 2020. We have an ex-PM that think if he gets acquitted, the PM position is rightly his.
We have another guy that think as the President of the largest Malay party he has every right to be the next PM. We have another guy that think that in order Malaysia to be blessed, the PM has to be from an Islamic party. Finally, we also have one ambitious guy that believes that the current PM will not last due to his illness and he will be the best candidate as the most Senior Minister for the Prime Ministerial position.
We have 7 people that think they have every right for the Prime Ministerial post. In a constitutional monarchy parliamentarian system, the largest coalition party will decide the candidate as the Prime Minister with the blessings of the King. In the absence of that, the King can decide.
We wasted billions of Ringgit by trusting one PM to squander our country wealth. He is joined by his wife and his son-in-law.
We wasted few months of critical time during the early part of the Covid19 pandemics by allowing the backdoor takeover to take place. We have another new government after another new government.
The economy is definitely greatly affected with the uncertainties in the country leadership and further crippled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This has resulted in the World Bank slashing Malaysia’s 2020 GDP growth projection to negative 0.1%, a sharp downward revision from its previous expectation of GDP growth of 4.5%.
Malaysia needs new blood as the Leadership of the country. The country should be willing to take the risk of a new leadership rather than believing that the old leadership would be able to make changes to the country. The old leadership are not willing to take the risk that would jeopardizes their position and interest. It is all personal interest.
Malaysia needs a leadership that is willing to take risk in implementing new innovative and creative ideas of running this country. Leadership that have no baggage and skeletons in their closets.
Leadership that are willing to challenge and be challenged. Leadership that are willing to resign when ideas not respected and accepted. Leadership that are more than willing to step back due to scandals that affected the country’s image.
The Islamic history began with the uprising of the young leaders. Usamah ibn Zaid was made the General of the Muslim army against the Hercules of Rome Byzantium at the age of 17. Muhamad Al-Fateh conquered Constantinople at the age of 22.
In recent years there has been a surge of politicians in their 30s winning leadership roles, including Qatar 33 year-old Emir Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad, Haiti 39 year-old Prime Minister Fritz-William Michel, Ukraine's 35-year-old Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk, El Salvador's 38-year-old President Nayib Bukele, and New Zealand's 39-year-old Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Jacinda Arden, became the Prime Minister of New Zealand at the age of 37. She was voted the most popular leader in a century due to how she managed the Covid19 pandemic. Justin Trudeau became the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada at the age of 44. He is one of the most trusted Prime Minister to promote economic growth for Canada. At 34, Sanna Marin will soon become the world's youngest sitting prime minister and she was selected due to her progressive politics and dynamism.
It is very timely for Malaysia to develop a ‘Succession Planning’ of the country leadership. NOW is the right time when Malaysia is facing with the ‘Leadership Crisis’. We are not short of young leaders, but we need to give them the opportunity to rise to the occasion. We need them to challenge and be challenged.
If we do not give them the chance, they would not be able to display and prove their true capability. They will always be hiding behind the shadow of the old and outdated leaders and worst, one day they will also be behaving like the old leaders. The old leaders have lost their tricks especially in this social media era.
We need a new wave, energy and engineered by the new generation of leadership. We can’t be like the Mexican wave, re-circling and re-cycling around the stadium coming back to the same point. We need the wave of young leaders that can bring the country to a new destiny with a greater height.
NEW AND YOUNG LEADER IS OUR ONLY SOLUTION.
