Governing while sleeping

Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang calls Pak Lah’s rule as a “somnambulant governance”.

What is somnambulant governance? Oxford Dictionary defines “somnambulism” as “sleepwalking”.

Merriam-Webster provides this definition:

1: walking or having the habit of walking while asleep
2: resembling or having the characteristics of a sleepwalker : sluggish

Wondering why Kit Siang is making such a drastic attack? Read his reasons in his blog entry here.

But I don’t think this is a somnambulant government for this reason alone.

Look at what’s happening in this country today. Listen to the grouses from the grassroots. And compare that to what the government is doing to solve these problems.

And you will know that we do have a somnambulant government.
