Week Three of the 2019-2020 election campaign was Crazy Week. There always is at least one.
The ex-prime minister who steered the country - wildly but successfully - through the tom yang goong economic crisis said he wasn't yet old enough to pretend to be Mahathir Mohamad and run for office again. He wasn't being completely honest, because Chuan Leekpai is nowhere near mean and bitchy enough to be Mahathir Mohamad. The general prime minister, the only man permitted by military-enforced law to even have an election campaign, announced that he had not poached any professional politicians to help. Meaning he hasn't personally recruited any.
But he said that personally he believes to his core that reform is going great. His personal reform committee chief says it isn't going at all. Who will win that fight is obvious but who will win the argument isn't.
