Pakatan Rakyat today gave the prime minister and the Election Commission
one last chance to prove their commitment to electoral reform before
the coalition decides whether or not to boycott the parliamentary select
committee on the matter.
Speaking to reporters today, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said, "The final decision will be made by October. We
have not made a decision to boycott, but are making it clear that it is
the onus of the government to show good faith, with the Election
Commission taking immediate measures, and the PM categorically showing
that he means business by guaranteeing that elections will only be held
after the EC has taken the necessary measures. We
have a few weeks, after Ramadan, with the goodwill of Aidilfitri... one
or two weeks to consider. By next month, we will decide once and for
all."
