Manifesto promises cooked up like roti-pau

“They should have studied everything before drafting the manifesto. I’m just wondering, in the first place, why did they came up with such promises if they know they cannot deliver? I don’t think promises are cooked up just like that,” he said.
Economist Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam said it was highly unlikely that PH would fulfill all their promises, claiming that the coalition had promised “too much too soon” in its bid to win votes.
“The manifesto was strongly, politically-motivated, like all other manifestos. But they promised too much too soon. My only hope is they will stick to the manifesto and accomplish them all, albeit slightly longer,” he said.
“They have to make promises which may not be very practical in terms of the timing (to gain votes), but they must still be fulfilled even if it is not within 100 days.”
