Ensure strong checks and balances


THE Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) calls for strong and effective check and balance mechanisms to protect public interest as we begin a new chapter under the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his mixed coalition government.

However, Bersih notes with some concern Anwar’s remark that he is not considering the role of finance minister “at the moment”. He should not for a moment consider it, as it would totally remove any semblance of checks and balances in the inner sanctum of his own Cabinet.
