Reformasi For Real

Maha Balakrishnan, Parliamentary Consultant & Researcher

Reformasi For Real

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is Malaysia's 10th prime minister, 24 years after he was sacked as deputy by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Today, his Pakatan Harapan coalition is leading the new administration but only as a result of all MPs except those from Perikatan Nasional declaring their support, effectively giving him 148 seats or a two-thirds majority in Parliament. Maha Balakrishnan, Parliamentary Consultant and Researcher, talks to us about what reforms we can expect and what needs to be prioritised as the Reformasi movement gains new life.
