Famed lawyer cum activist Syahredzan Johan posted something worth sharing:
In the aftermath of the historic general elections which swept BN out of power, we have seen various quarters already taking the fledgling new Pakatan government to task for being too slow on this or that or failing to prioritize this or that.
Like Syahredzan my view is that we need to give these folks some time to get things running smoothly. Already as it is Dr M is working at breakneck speed. While he wasn't able to announce all 10 cabinet members, he did quickly name three key ones. Yet even that earned him some brickbats from PKR's Rafizi who said he was acting too fast.
There are many things the new government has to do and in all likelihood it's gonna take more than 100 days to achieve all that it has promised to do. Dismantling GST for example will probably take longer than 100 days. But former Bank Negara Governor (now in the council of elders or eminent persons) Zeti Akhtar has said the council will reveal the steps and measures being taken to dismantle the much-disliked tax.
Frankly, as long people know it is going to be done, they won't mind if it takes a little longer than usual. And Zeti has promised that, saying:

"We will make an announcement of what we want to do within this 100 days. [....] the people will know what is going to be done and how it is going to be done."It's taken over 60 years to see a change in government. We shouldn't be so impatient after just six days of a new government in place.
