Despite receiving no reply from caretaker Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to its invitation, pro-electoral reform group Bersih will go ahead with a planned forum to pit the BN chairperson and his Pakatan Rakyat counterpart and their manifestos against each other.
“I tell you now, we will proceed,” vowed Bersih co-chairperson S Ambiga at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
To date, she said that Pakatan de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has responded that he will take part in the forum, though Najib still maintains an elegant silence.
However, even if Najib decided not to attend and did not send a representative, Ambiga said that they will find a way for someone to deliver the BN manifesto during the forum.
The showdown, she believes, is necessary to allow the rakyat to hear from both sides so that they can better judge, prior to polling day come May 5.
