At the Save Malaysia roundtable discussion yesterday, PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli provided his diagnosis on reasons why the opposition lacked credibility.

The opposition, he had claimed, had been “out of touch with the people, to the point of being condescending”.

A large part of the opposition’s narrative, he added, had been irrelevant and sometimes condescending as opposition leaders had assumed that the people lacked understanding on certain issues.

This might have been the Pandan lawmaker’s personal observation, but his other party coalition colleagues seemed to agree with this, albeit to a certain extent.
