Before the 308 general election, both PKR and DAP had campaigned on the third vote or the reinstatement of local government elections.
I have a few questions for Pakatan leaders who are now going into the second year of their governance in Penang, Kedah, Selangor and Kelantan. Has the local government election bill been drawn up?
When the local government election bill is is expected to be tabled at the state assemblies for approval? When can the first local government election be held?
I hope this promise will end up like the ones (empty promises) we have seen and heard too often - against the law, hands are tied by the federal government or wait till Pakatan take over the federal government.
Pakatan should not harbor the thought of becoming the next Barisan. We want our two-party system and a healthy and competitive democracy.
