Bersih 2.0 not involved in Pakatan rally


It will, however, support any party in favour of electoral reforms.
KUALA LUMPUR: Electoral reform watchdog, Bersih 2.0 today announced that it has no role in the upcoming rally organised by Pakatan Rakyat on Nov 3 at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
“We have nothing to do with that. It is entirely organised by a political party,” said Bersih 2.0 co-chairman S Ambiga at a press conference held in Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH).
Yesterday, PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu announced that Pakatan Rakyat is organising a rally on Nov 3 in Bukit Jalil stadium as a result of government’s failure to implement electoral reforms.
However Ambiga said that Bersih would support the calls for electoral reforms.
“All political parties should also do (rallies) because all that we want are free and fair elections,” she said.
Ambiga also revealed that Bersih steering committee received an invitation to attend the rally.
“Individually, we can go. We (the committee) haven’t met (to discuss) on the role that Bersih should play in this rally,” she said.
In a related development, Ambiga, who is a former Bar Council president, also questioned whether the Election Commission (EC) has began implementing the recommendations made by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Electoral Reforms (PSC).
“We’d like to know whether the EC has began implementing the recommendations,” she said.
The PSC had released its report on recommendations on electoral reforms in April.
