RUNNING on empty. That’s how I feel about our 15th General Election (GE15). All I see and hear are empty promises and the stale old political parties twisting and turning in all directions to forge shaky alliances just to win votes.
As a voter, I don’t care to find out what these parties are dangling in their election manifestos. We found out that Pakatan Harapan drew up a very ambitious one in GE14 in 2018 because they didn’t think they would win and have to keep those promises. At least that’s what their then leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad admitted later, dismissing the manifesto as a mere guide.
