Tough job given the circumstances, but I thought he did OK. A bit of this, a bit of that. He reacted instead of responded- but better than being the lawful evil that would literally hold of the parliament.

Some of his policies were decent. I did some checks.

Had some time, and I cross checked against Tawaran Harapan, which was @anwaribrahim's led party's manifesto for #GE15.

Now, this is normal. It's normal for certain groundworks to have been done by the previous PM, for the new PM to continue.

I just absolutely hate it when a policy is dubbed as new because we don't have a tracking system. Like, fuck- we're dependent on recent bias most of the time, aren't we?

Anyway, in a gist, here's what I found was done during DSIS term-

You can find Tawaran Harapan here: kitaboleh.my/tawaranharapan/

I had the time to check from Cost of Living - Combatting Corruption.

Not bad, DSIS worked with JAKIM in Nov-2021 to address the halal supply chain.

theborneopost.com/2021/11/23/new…

There's more to it, but a good start. What's new on this?

Cost of Living- Sufficient Supplies.

DSIS government granted 10 years of tax free incentives for agriculture investments.

Highway Concessions:

DSIS gov had plans to restructure the 4 highways concession companies to reduce the toll (AKLEH, GCE, LKSA, SILK) fares, but I know DSAI wanted to abolish several tolls.

businesstoday.com.my/2022/10/13/ism…

Agriculture Land Reform.

Best I can find is Keluarga Malaysia Agrofood Financing Fund (DPAKM). 200 million.

malaymail.com/news/malaysia/…

Modern and Smart Farming.

DSIS gov launched National Agro-Food Policy 2.0 (DAN 2.0) back in Oct. 2021; and the inclusion of 5G through pilot project Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA).

Malaysia as an Agriculture Exporter.

Malaysia had already been a net exporter for agriculture. So, it's maintenance then.

Investors and Young Agropreneurs.

DSIS gov did worked with Youth and Sports (KBS), and Agriculture, and Food Industry (MAF) to get 8,000 young agroprenuers to develop.

nst.com.my/news/nation/20…

B40 Scholarships.

There were announcements for special discount for B40, but to M40 as well. The system exists, and DSIS made it more inclusive. There is no need for a redundant scholarship system.

utusan.com.my/nasional/2022/…

Biasiswa Perintis.

There were previous works with Youth and Sports (KBS), and Agriculture, and Food Industry (MAF) to get 8,000 young agroprenuers to develop.

nst.com.my/news/nation/20…

Career Progression System.

This one is interest. DSIS actually recognized "Under-Employment" and not just "Unemployment".

isis.org.my/2022/08/26/und…

Entrepreneurial Growth?

Social Entrepreneurship Action Framework 2030 (SEMy2030); & additional funds for micro entrepreneurs through PEMULIH NewBiz.

malaymail.com/news/malaysia/…; dailyexpress.com.my/news/197164/is…

Housing Provisions?

Housing Loan Guarantee Scheme for the application of housing loans.

thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…

Access to Sports and Recreation?

National Sports Vision 2030 (VSN2030).

malaymail.com/news/sports/20…

Skills Training Account?

The platform already exists and announced by prev. gov. back in December 2021. One-Stop Platform by HRD Corp and further include more youths. Is this still functional?

nst.com.my/news/governmen…

Solving Period Poverty?

They were still working on it when I jotted this down.

thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…

Empowering Syariah Courts?

DSIS had said that the government was already in the works to enhance Syariah courts' jurisdictions - and further tweaks can be done to assist women and children.

freemalaysiatoday.com/category/natio…

What's new on this?

Overcoming Causes of Child Marriage 2025?

Ha. Good one. DSIS was clear in his voice to call on other states to follow Kedah's footsteps to address the issue of underage marriage.

thestar.com.my/news/nation/20…

Something we have started to budge since 2018. Even Wan Azizah struggled.

Freedom of Information Act?

My favourite: How about OSA1972: Reclassification by parliamentary committee?

DSIS calling double standards over Pakatan's declassified report on ex-AG Thomas; and DSIS declassified LCS documents.

malaymail.com/news/malaysia/…; nst.com.my/news/nation/20…

Start declassifying. Can't say this enough.

Freedom of Media?

Well, let's see how this goes.

malaysiakini.com/news/635825

Ombudsman System?

DSIS gov been working on this bill since September 2021.

freemalaysiatoday.com/category/natio…

There should be some continuation.

How about 10 year term limit?

DSIS government agreed to the limit back in September 2021.

themalaysianreserve.com/2021/09/10/gov…

So long DSAI by 2032 then?

Political Funding Act?

This is something that's been in the works since May 2022.

malaymail.com/news/malaysia/…

Lets see them papers for GE15, yo.

Equal Constituency Allocation?

DSIS gov had started the movement since September 2021- although there could be more improvements.

malaysiagazette.com/2021/09/23/equ…

I'd love to see this one given what DSAI just mentioned about marginalization.

This one takes the cake for me. I don't remember a Malaysian leader not capping on China over the situation in South China Sea.

asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Inter…

Now, lets see what DSAI would do, possibly with the balancing with B3W from U.S.

I be you can you see how useful it would be if we have the parliament hansard to be in an Excel format. lol.

We'd be holding our policymakers by their job's notice.

Also, this is to point out that sometimes, we don't see the policies imposed because of the racial and religious lenses.

Grow 👏 The 👏 Fuck 👏 Up.

We hired policymakers. Judge them by their policies. 👏👏👏

Thanks Portugal v Ghana for this thread.

Also, I didnt cover the whole Tawaran Harapan. There’s a lot more.

Hold them accountable, please.
