Malaysia “gutless”? No but “brainless” sometimes..

The present leadership has been accused of being “gutless” with the sudden cancellation of the “crooked bridge” project.

One cannot be gutless to cancel a mega-project connected to the rich and powerful. It is more probable that the leadership was “brainless” to embark on an international project before the ink was placed on the bridge agreement.

Without an agreement signed by both countries it was really a no-brainer that the new CIQ should not have been started in the first place.

This is not the first time that we create policies out of thin air and then rescind them after a few days or weeks. Some of the “brainless” events that come to mind:

1. The sudden clampdown on illegal immigrants that created havoc in many local companies. Today one hardly reads about such operations.

2. The hand-phone OK and then outright ban for school children.

3. The refund of the restricted passport was only given to those without international passports. Someone in Immigration got inspired and now everyone gets the rebate.

Do you have other “brainless” acts to add?
