KUALA LUMPUR: Political scientist Dr Chandra Muzaffar said that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's attempt to become the prime minister through the “back door” by instigating massive crossovers was both unethical and undemocratic.

“A Cabinet established through such an avenue will lack moral credibility. Parliament itself will be tarnished. Both the Executive and the Legislature, the two vital arms of governance, will be perceived by the people as institutions that are bereft of integrity,” he said.
