The formation of a new government post-GE14 was a series of regrettable incidents. They surely tested Malaysians’ patience and tolerance.
Ballot papers were really taking their own sweet time to be tallied and winners announced.
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Razak was extremely shy to make an appearance to concede defeat to his opponents in Pakatan Harapan.
But it wasn't just that – he tried one last trick. That no party has a simple majority, he said. He was splitting hairs. PKR are Pakatan Harapan and everybody knows it.

And for much of the day, PM-designate Mahathir Mohamad could not be sworn in to office despite his PH bloc getting the majority to form the federal government.
A swearing-in ceremony at the palace in the morning was aborted.
On the same evening, Mahathir was finally installed as the seventh prime minister of Malaysia.
Now the actual business of governing the country can start.
