I think there are already too many checks and balances in Malaysia to pull that of. And that's why I think the current government should stop its paternalistic behaviour. It's indeed an insult to Malaysians to come up with these kind of statements (and many others from other ministers). @John: fortunately, I don’t see that happening in Malaysia soon.
