The Appointment Of The Chairman Of The Parliamentary Accounts Committee Is The Prerogative Of Parliament Not The Pm's

Bolehlanders are looking to Anwar to provide the leadership that will show that he is the right man to take over from Mahathir.

However, Anwar is now so afraid of offending Mahathir lest he got by-passed again for the Pm post, that he dare not call a spade a spade or speak to the point unlike his own daughter who has no qualms about being upfront.

That is so disappointing of someone whom the country looks to for leadership.

What has the appointment of the Parliamentary Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman got to do with the Pm? It is Parliament's prerogative whom they want to head the committee.

Neither the Speaker nor Parliament itself needs to refer to nor get the approval of the Pm whom they want to appoint as the PAC chairman.

If the Pm is the one who has the prerogative or final say on the appointment of the PAC chairman, that would make Parliament subservient to the Executive.

Parliament is, after all, the third branch of a triumvirate of equal standing in a parliamentary democracy. Subvert this and you subvert democracy itself like how Bolehland has largely been seen by others as a sham democracy than a true one.
