*Circumstances of Madani Government after Kuala Kubu Bharu By-election*
By Sandra Segaran Arumugam
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire population is awaiting a change in the political situation of the country after the by-election to be held soon.
There is no doubt that the fate of the Madani government will be determined by the outcome of the Kuala Kubu Bharu by-election to be held on May 11 next month.
There is no denying that the by-election is very important for the unity coalition Pakatan Harapan government, which has come under maximum criticism since they formed their coalition and for not implementing the reforms that they promised.
This Kuala Kubu Bharu by-election will be a measure of how much faith the people of the country have in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar's leadership.
When looking at past 70s and early 80s by-elections, if we examine the results, the chances of victory for the incumbent government have been bright. However, if asked whether that golden time will ever happen again, the answer is it has to be said that it has gone downhill.
It becomes a big challenge for the Madani government as today's technological development makes the government's activities instantly known to the people. Even though the current government can make full use of government machinery for their election campaign, it must be borne in mind that victory for them is not that easy.
Moreover, it cannot be denied that the lack of unity in the government has given the name of unity to keep the situation like this and has caused many doubts among the people.
However, it is at this crucial moment that Datuk Seri Anwar's government should be victorious in this Kuala Kubu Bharu by-election.
If the result of the election is not favorable to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, then the next step is the opposition Perikatan Nasional (PN) will pressure to go for a General Election on the grounds that the Prime Minister has no influence among the people.
So, the upcoming Kuala Kubu Bharu by-election is going to turn out to be a by-election that is going to change the political scenario of the country. Let's wait and see!
