The huge mandate they won in Selangor had been squandered. That was probably the point when the penny dropped – the new politics is not very different from the old politics. Kluang assemblyman and Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong is known for his boy scout approach to politics – always eager to paint a silver lining to every dark cloud. But his recent Merdeka message had a rather solemn tone. He said Malaysian politics had entered a phase of stagnation, voters were disappointed with both coalitions and had opted out from the political discourse. He reminded Pakatan that it needs to re-invigorate in order to be a party of choice and not just a default option against Barisan. Reality had sunk in and it sucks.
