KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 — Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs accused the federal opposition today of showing a lack of commitment to electoral reforms, saying Pakatan Rakyat (PR) had always wanted a third Bersih rally to score political points.
Lawmakers from the ruling coalition told reporters today the opposition should give the government and Election Commission (EC) a chance to implement recommendations by the parliamentary select committee on electoral improvements.
“We gave them a chance to participate in the select committee, we had public hearings but now they don’t want to give a chance for the recommendations to be carried out,” Umno information chief Datuk Ahmad Maslan said.
MIC’s P. Kamalanathan also said yesterday’s fracas over PR’s insistence that a minority report be tabled along with the panel’s findings was a “last-minute tactic after realising the committee was successful.”
“Fact is the recommendations have deadlines. If after two months the EC has done nothing, then you can have Bersih. But to do it now, they are showing they have never been serious about reforms,” said the Hulu Selangor MP, who sat on the polls panel.
