I believe you're referring to "Tun Dr Mahathir described the [Malaysian] government as 'half-past six' with no guts after it scrapped a project to build a bridge to replace the Causeway because it could not secure the agreement of Singapore".

"Half past six" is an idiom on it's own, slang mainly used in Malaysia and Singapore.

In short though, it means: Careless, shoddy; incompetent, screwed up.
