Bersih: EC must stand firm against PM on campaigning by ministers


PETALING JAYA: The Election Commission must stand firm in restricting election campaigning by ministers, even if the Prime Minister calls for a relaxation of such guidelines, says electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0.

The Bersih 2.0 steering committee said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's lament that he could not use government assets during campaigning due to curbs by the EC was not in line with international resolutions against corruption.
