As an outsider, it's easy to see that the Madani government could easily collapse with some minor shifting of alliances. Is this why Anwar has become a 'do nothing' PM? Is he desperately trying to hold on to power, so much so that reforms--eagerly anticipated in the lead-up to his administration--have now been completely discarded? I think so.
But it's not easy to dump Anwar in favor of someone else. The UG has a shallow bench. There is no talent waiting in the wings and the opposition has a mindset from the middle ages. Malaysia is in trouble.
