Parliamentary Select Committee Flap
by Stan Lee, Malaysia Chronicle
As expected, a Cabinet has put a Parliamentary Select Committee upon a back-burner, but even discussing it during a weekly meeting upon Wednesday (today), confirming open suspicion which Prime Minister Najib Razaks promise to purify up a electoral complement was never sincerely meant.
Neither did a Cabinet deliberate upon a 5 pre-conditions set by Pakatan Rakyat for a participation in a PSC.
The Cabinet did not plead them. They are not important, Malaysiakini reported Nazri Aziz, a Minister in a Prime Ministers Department as saying.
Mahathir a de-facto PM
The poll reforms row was announced upon August fifteen as a sop to open melancholy over Najibs mishandling of a Bersih 2.0 rally for giveaway as well as fair elections.
The Pakatan, led by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, has been in dual minds about a PSC, afraid to endorse it as it feared a cabinet would spin out to be a sham. Yet it wanted to perform electorate wishes of getting reforms to finally move.
On Tuesday, Pakatan asked Najib to pledge 5 conditions as a sign of his governments joining as well as seriousness. Without a guarantees, Pakatan would decline participation in a PSC, which is due to be set up during a subsequent Parliament sitting beginning October 3.
Among a 5 conditions was which Najib should decide a date of a subsequent ubiquitous choosing in conference with Pakatan, in sequence to concede a PSC enough time to perform a objectives.
However, former UMNO President Mahathir Mohamad came out to lambast a Pakatan
requests, which pundits pronounced meant which Najib would additionally reject a requests.
At 85, Mahathir is still a many feared power-broker in UMNO as well as some even say he has turn a de-facto PM of a country.
It is a prerogative of a government. If they wish to set a date, then form supervision first. When which happens, will they plead it with us? Malaysian Insider reported Mahathir as saying.
The Mother of all Cheating
However Pakatan leaders retorted which it was just an excuse as a BN never had any intention to purify up a electoral complement which has been on purpose lopsided to help a BN win as well as keep power.
This means which they will go on to cheat. They never were sincere about a PSC. Mark my words, GE-13 will be a scene of a biggest electoral rascal ever, PKR MP for Batu, Tian Chua told Malaysia Chronicle.
