KUALA LUMPUR – The Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih) today objected to the appointment of any lawmakers with ongoing criminal cases to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s cabinet.

In a statement today, the organisation raised its concern with suggestions by certain parties to push for Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is facing corruption charges, to be given the post of deputy prime minister.

“Bersih strongly objects to the appointment of any person who has an ongoing criminal case against him/her to any cabinet position, as they would raise doubts about the integrity of Anwar’s government and tarnish the reputation of our country,'” said Bersih.
