Don’t consider finance minister role at all, Bersih tells Anwar

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Electoral reform group Bersih has taken note of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s statement that he was not considering the role of finance minister “at the moment”, saying that instead he should not be considering it at all.

“He should not for a moment consider it as it would totally remove any semblance of check and balance in the inner sanctum of his own Cabinet.

“Have we not learned from the follies of (former prime minister) Najib Razak?” said the group’s steering committee in a statement, referring to Najib’s 1MDB scandal which took place while he was finance minister.
