‘Unprecedented and indefensible’: Anwar blasts move to appoint MPs as GLC heads
Tuesday, 14 Apr 2020 01:52 PM MYTDatuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim described the measure as ‘excesses and nonsense’ which must be stopped, especially in light of the near-economic emergency that Malaysia is facing due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. — Picture by Miera Zulyana
“I am of the view that if you have one or two MPs with exceptional credentials, then it can be considered . I do not think it will become a major issue,” Anwar said during a Facebook Live session. Likewise, when asked if PN and the former Pakatan Harapan administration differed in this respect, the Port Dickson MP said he will not defend any excesses on either side of the political divide.
His opinion was also sought on whether legislation can be changed or amended to allow the government to borrow for operational and development expenditure, given his background as the finance minister from 1991 to 1998, to which Anwar said he agrees if it means more space can be given to help alleviate the problems of the poor.
