PETALING JAYA: The appointments of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob as Deputy Prime Minister and Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein as Senior Minister (Security) will provide the much-needed pause in politicking as the country battles Covid-19, say several analysts.
Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian said the appointments were timely as there was a leadership crisis that had led to political uncertainty.
“The appointments are timely and is one of the mechanisms to manage the leadership crisis. The way forward is to focus on the pandemic rather than continue politicking.
“The present leadership crisis has led to instability and uncertainty. There should at least be a ceasefire on political matters,” he said.
