I wish to refer to the latest posting of Dr. Azly...
What I have heard from someone who had a discussion with the driver during his taxi ride from LCCT to Petaling Jaya, could possibly answer that question! This is because, taxi drivers seem to be the best when it comes to managing a country. They would give us the impression that they could have done a better job than any incumbent Prime Minister.
On the question of whether PR could rule Malaysia, he said something to the effect that when Britain granted Independence to Malaya, what experience did Tunku and his cabinet members have before that? They were given a chance to run the country, helped by the already efficient system of administration left behind by the British. They were lucky to have efficient civil servants who were willing to carry out their tasks, unlike now, where sabotage by them could seriously retard any well intentioned changes to inefficient and corrupt systems which they might have a vested interest in.
Barring trouble which could be created by sore losers and sabotage by uncivil civil servants, PR already has more than enough well qualified and experienced administrators which included an ex-DPM, some ex-Ministers, incumbent Chief Minister and Menteri Besars, state legislators and so on. What they lack is probably high level corruption which I hope most people are willing to give them a chance to prove themselves that they are capable of ruling without resorting to it. What the people giveth, they can taketh! Until they are given the power, nobody can tell what could happen, can they?
