Looks like the business fraternity is now into the guessing game as well.
Not knowing the date for the GE is counter-productive to business development and growth in the country,so says William Cheng of the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCIM).
He predicts it is too soon to expect the GE in May or June. The likely date according to William will be October.
By his musing, PM is away in the USA in June and July is the fasting month. No, not on Raya. So, by deduction-October.
He believes the earlier the elections is held the better for entrepreneurs. This is crucial as a new business climate may emerge after the elections which will allow business community to plan accordingly as early as possible.
As on outstanding issues, he said the NFC, Lynas, education and fair treatment to the Malaysian Chinese need to be addressed and solved quickly.
He also recommended that there must be a political will to stamp out corruption,improving public safety and security and checking runaway inflation.
Than you, William. You have covered most of the issues.
Any party who wants to be the next government ought to listen to their hearts and their minds.
We hope they do.
