KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s views on the chairmanship of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee should be taken into consideration. Anwar, who heads the parliamentary caucus on reform and governance, said while the Pakatan Harapan election manifesto was unambiguous on the matter, the coalition must still hear out Dr Mahathir’s position.
“Those who asked did so because the PH manifesto is clear that the PAC should be chaired by an Opposition. “However, we have to straighten this matter through a discussion with the PM,” he said when met with reporters at the Parliament lobby, here today.
