KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia has come underneath glow for commendatory a Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) inform upon electoral reforms though debate.
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim also cursed Pandikar for not listening to Pakatan Rakyat's plea with regard to attaching a minority report.
"It has been authorised in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, a United Kingdom as well as Jamaica. He (Pandikar) does not wish to concede for a discussion.
"He challenged us 3 times to come up with a precedent. When you lifted this, he didn't wish to listen," a PKR Permatang Pauh MP told a press discussion in Parliament.
Anwar also indicted Umno of having a palm in a matter, as well as suggested which a Speaker was following a ruling party's demands.
"For me, it obviously shows audacity (by a Speaker, who) doesn't wish to hear or give space for us to explain, as well as bows to Umno's demands," he said.
Earlier this morning, Pakatan MPs tried to discuss a suit to insert a minority inform to a PSC's inform upon electoral reforms.
However, Pandikar pronounced which there was no precedent in any Parliament within a Commonwealth wh! ich auth orised for this.
