Gobind defends PH govt's 'flip-flop' on electoral promises

Apr 23, 2019

The Pakatan government is always accused of flip-flopping on electoral promises because they lack experience and have money problems, says Gobind Singh Deo.

The Communications and Multimedia Minister said the new government is also sometimes hampered by existing structures and legal issues.

He adds, the government spent the first 11 months in power trying to set things right, and is hopeful that by next year, it will be able to carry out more of its promises. 

This comes ahead of the Pakatan government's 1-year anniversary in power next month.
