AUGUST 27 — The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections staunchly rejects the push by certain quarters in Umno to have an early 15th General Election to save kleptocrats from justice in court. Bersih calls upon all parties to instead support a new convention of ‘fixed term parliament’ by allowing the 14th Parliament to stand dissolved only on July 15, 2023.
If the supporters of Kleptocrats get their way, then the “two-class” phenomenon would be institutionalised — government politicians would be spared from any legal consequences for breaking laws and robbing the people, as long as they can win elections. To protect Malaysia from kleptocrats, the Prime Minister must implement key reforms. First and foremost is the separation of Public Prosecution Office from the Attorney General’s Chambers , to eliminate selective prosecution and impunity by Attorney General who is a political appointee and whose decision may be influenced by political considerations.
The other pressing reforms include a political finance law that would provide sufficient public funding to political parties to reduce their dependence on slush funds, appointment of standing select committees to scrutinise every ministry and reform in absentee voting for out-of-region and overseas voters to raise turnout rates.
