'Non-partisan govt' a dictatorship by any other name, warns Bersih


PETALING JAYA: A non-partisan government could be “dictatorial”, says electoral watchdog Bersih 2.0 as it calls for fresh polls to be held in view of the current political crisis plaguing country.

Bersih in a statement on Thursday (Feb 27) said that while the motivation for interim Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's proposal for a non-partisan government was “noble”, it would give the Prime Minister absolute power.
