New laws needed to prevent abuse of GLC appointments, says Bersih 2.0


PETALING JAYA: The vacancies in government-linked companies (GLC) due to resignations by Umno members should not be used by Perikatan Nasional to fish for support, says Bersih 2.0.

"While the resignation of the two Umno politicians may be an act of protest against the Perikatan Nasional government, we are afraid their protest could be futile as the vacancy that they left behind will be quickly used by the PN government to win over other potential supporters to hold on to power while being a minority government," the electoral watchdog said in a statement on Monday (Aug 9).
