I said it, Merdeka Centre Polled It ; Hilang sengat, hilang seri, hilang seru, hilang merdu

ON the 9th of May 2023, I already  foretold that the lackadaisical attitude on how the Madani Government communicates, is bound to have its toll on the Prime Minister. READ:  WHAT does the Prime Minister reap from the negative user experience on the Madani Malaysia site? He reaps loads of user distrust and suspicion at a personal level

CONSIDER, the following, when i last visited the website, there were a maximum of  135818 visitors, since the 201 days that had passed us by, VIEW : There are now 310456 visitors in total, meaning over a 201 day period, there were an additional 174618 additional visitors or about 868 visitors per day

THOSE numbers are not pathetic,  solely because the content on the website, remaina a sorry excuse , and  miles ahead in the pathetic stake.

ALTHOUGH,  I agree with Rafizi Ramli, that the PM's popularity had picked up READ : since the Merdeka Centre poll in October, I believe that among the Muslims, Anwar Ibrahim's hawkish stance in the Palestinian  crisis ,may have earned him some browny points.

SO why has Anwar Ibrahim's popularity fallen? Is it because he is not doing his job? I believe the Prime Minister has been doing his job, but those tasked to communicate to the public are down right incompetent.

INSTEAD of being the news makers, they have become reactors to the news, with Khairy Jamaluddin running circles over them.

FOR example Khairy Jamaluddin  VIEW : have slowly started to convince the general public that the Malaysian Ringgit is in a very bad place.

THE numbers though state a very different story, , a story that the Madani communication apparatus had failed to narrate to the Malaysian public.

CONSIDER the following ; VIEW : the average RM to USD dollar in 2020, when Muhyiddin Yassin was the Prime Minister was at RM4.4418 against the US Dollar.

UNDER  Anwar Ibrahim's watch, VIEW : the average value of the Ringgit against the US Dollar is RM4.54.⁷⁷

THIS 9.8 sen depreciation, is hardly a crisis considering that in Anwar Ibrahim's ongoing tenure, the US Federal Reserve has been increasing interest rate hikes rapidly, and there are two major wars  taking place, one in Ukraine and the other in Gaza distrupting supply chains. 

THAT, being said, READ : now is not the time for silly jokes, especially from the likes of Rafizi Ramli.

MALAYSIA is still waiting for Rafizi Ramli to deliver a progressive wage model and a detailed plan on how to abolish APPROVED PERMITS
