THE Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) congratulates Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on his appointment as the 10th Prime Minister of Malaysia, and welcomes the formation of a unity government led by Pakatan Harapan with the support of Barisan Nasional and the Borneo blocs. This brought to an end five days of political impasse due to a hung Parliament following the 15th General Election (GE15) on Nov 19.
The hung Parliament signified the maturing of Malaysian democracy where politics is no longer dominated by just two coalitions; voters could choose among several options and a post-election coalition was formed peacefully and successfully.
