COMMENT | There is always a time for some serious reflection or some prefer to call it recollection.

Each one of us must have gone through that process of reviewing our achievements and failures in life at one time or another.

It has been said that “time spent in self-reflection is never wasted; it is an intimate date with yourself”.

Three months into the job, perhaps it’s worth his while for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to do some serious reflection. There must be a lot going on in his mind.

Now on 14-day quarantine at home and over the joyous Hari Raya season, Muhyiddin must have plenty of time to do that.

It helps to be in a familiar environment at home, surrounded by family and loved ones. It’s even better if you are quarantined alone – staring blankly at the four walls of your room will surely help in motivating you to dissect your life intimately. It’s just you looking at yourself in the mirror.

When you are in self-isolation in your room, the trappings of power and the world outside no longer exist. Being prime minister also seems no longer relevant.
