COMMENT The Malaysian Insider chief executive officer Jahabar Sadiq has written an understandably well-received article headlined ‘100 days later, Malaysia remains stuck in Election 2013'.

I heartily agree with a good number of his observations regarding recent phenomena in Malaysian current affairs.

I would like to offer some alternative interpretations as to the reasons behind those phenomena, and begin the process of thinking what everyday citizens can do to arrest the slide down this slope.

Jahabar’s thesis is that we find ourselves in our current malaise because politicians are still stuck in GE13 mode.
