Langkah Sheraton in February 2020 has unfortunately set a precedent for change of government outside of the typical electoral process, exacerbated by the pandemic situation. How can we strengthen our parliamentary framework to prevent the democratic process being held hostage by the whims of politics? We discuss the Melaka state elections and parliamentary reforms with Thomas Fann of Bersih 2.0.
