I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) shiny day ...

Jimmy Cliff, a Jamaican reggae musician, released the Johnny Nash number, I can see clearly now, in 1993 and it became an instant hit.

That upbeat song, the lyrics of which exhorts one to look forward towards brighter days after seeing through the obstacles and dark clouds mirrors what’s going on in Pakatan Harapan today, that is if those politicians inside are able to see what many of us, outsiders, can clearly see.

Oh yes, I can see clearly now that the "rain" is gone – all the obstacles (read traitors and turncoats) inside the Harapan coalition we voted into power in GE14 are now gone - and for the better.

I can see clearly now that the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration of Muhyiddin Yassin is shaky as his "backdoor government" clearly lacks the support of the majority of Malaysians. Its legitimacy is also seriously in doubt.

Even Muhyiddin can see that clearly himself as he is now considering the option of calling for fresh elections by year-end, as reported.

I can also see clearly now that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim is the new chairperson of the Pakatan Harapan Plus coalition and that it is very clear to me that he should be the prime minister candidate of the opposition group.

Unfortunately ...
