COMMENT | When Azalina Othman Said said that reforms take time, she was right. No one expects institutional reform to happen overnight.

She stressed that policymakers must ensure every reform is not only ambitious but also implementable.

That sentiment is reasonable, but the public is no longer convinced by well-worded statements alone. They want to see results, not just reminders.

Because if the reform agenda is truly alive, it must look the part. It must move. It must deliver.
