Not a correct clause - or a matter of perception or prejudice?



Malaysian Government is formed by a coalition of political parties voted into power.

Malaysia is one of those countries that guarantee all bank deposits in their respective banking systems to contain the effect of the global financial crisis.

Besides, oil prices have been reduced four times by the Malaysian Government who has been fighting for price reduction of goods especially essential goods by fixing lower ceilings and calling traders to effect reduction of the prices of their goods.

Unless there is a need to find out which leaders, politicians or political parties have done the above jobs, I would rephrase the following sentence in the article Please grow up, will you?

"Ahead of the bad times, Malaysians are looking to our politicians for leadership and assurances – which seem to be lacking."

at the worst (not that I back any leader, politician or political party but to present a fairer assessment) to be

"Ahead of the bad times, Malaysians are looking to our politicians for leadership and assurances – which do not seem to be adequately provided."

Nonetheless, there are further goodies announced by the government for the people after publication of the said article, which may have been one of the vital catalysts for such early follow-up announcement.
