SOME weeks ago a businessman asked me if there is a future for race-based political parties in Malaysia. He's a Chinese and obviously apolitical. He must have been influenced by the emergence of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) or People's Justice Party, as a key player in national politics following the March 8 polls.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THE WHOPPING 41% petrol price increase announced by Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on June 4 was the deepest and ever delivered by any Prime Minister in history. No matter how noble and divine his intentions are, Abdullah's free market initiative will have far-reaching effects and consequences on the people and the country.

WINDFALL TAXES ARE striking fear into industries nowadays, even as the government tries to suppress such fears. It's certainly difficult to dispel them, given that the government is looking for additional revenues to boost its budget in the face of rising crude oil prices and weakening global economies. Further, the precedent has been set, with the plantation and independent power producers (IPPs) being levied with such `arbitrary' taxes recently. Is windfall tax a productive move to reallocate economic resources - shifting business profits to help society at large in times of economic hardship - or is it a short-term measure that will have immense negative repercussions on the long-term economic growth of the country?

THE GOVERNMENT'S DECISION to increase fuel prices may not have been popular, but was long overdue, given its long-term goals and rising oil prices. While the macroeconomic shock will be relatively mild, a range of companies will be assessing the potential impact on their industries. On June 5, the government announced that it would be slashing subsidies on fuel, lifting the pump price of petrol 41% to RM2.70 a litre, and that of diesel 63% to RM2.58 a litre. The move has been met by protests from the political opposition and a significant proportion of the general public.

DATUK SERI ANWAR IBRAHIM, claims he will revert, if and when he takes over as Prime Minister, to the previous fuel oil prices. If he fails to do so, he says, he will resign immediately. Anwar's latest pledge comes after the Barisan Nasional Government dramatically cut fuel oil subsidies on June 5. Anwar is probably on a new `high' since some quarters believe that the new fuel oil prices may hasten his supposed takeover of the government.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEW CABINET ON March 18 has only heightened the controversy surrounding the Barisan Nasional (BN)'s March 8 electoral debacle and the inability of the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, to keep the ruling coalition intact. No sooner after it was announced, a chorus of objections was heard from member parties. The most virulent opposition to his decision, interestingly, came from his own party, Umno.

AT a time of low public confidence, much is expected of the new Cabinet by the public and investor alike. Will it deliver?

PRESIDING OVER A DIMINISHED POWER BASE IN national politics, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is finding out how painful the proverb `caught between a rock and a hard place' can be. Following the poor, some call it disastrous, showing of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition in the recent general election, Abdullah is quick to learn the main lesson - that the people want change.
