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 would 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 " Anwar said said.
