“Every ministry will be scrutinised by only a shadow minister who would be paid half the ministerial salary and provided policy staff but no other perks. It also said Anwar should not take up the post of finance minister as it would remove any semblance of check and balance in the inner sanctum of his own cabinet.Bersih also praised Perikatan Nasional chairman Muhyiddin Yassin for rejecting Anwar’s offer to be part of his unity government.
“It should also be expedited so that the resources for these additional committees and shadow cabinet can come directly from parliament instead of the Finance Ministry. “A key appointment commission to shortlist candidates for the relevant PSSCs to further scrutinise them would ensure that only independent and qualified candidates are shortlisted for the prime minister to recommend to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for appointment.”
It also wants to see a free press, which is integral to a vibrant democracy as the media shines the light on corruption, failures and shortcomings of the government, and Bersih calls for it to be unshackled from restrictive laws so that it can report without fear or favour.
