On Wednesday night, at least 40,000 supporters of Malaysia’s opposition held a rally to protest against alleged fraud in the country’s recent elections. Anwar Ibraham, its leader, has vowed to expose the cheating in the polls. But whether the results were manipulated or not the opposition coalition has gained ground. Not only did it win the popular vote, it also won 89 seats in parliament compared to the ruling coalition’s 133, reducing the ruling coalition’s majority.: s/ I& g$ m* }% {( V9 ~# y

This week, legislators supported a Legco inquiry into the conduct of former ICAC commissioner Timothy Tong. Twenty five councillors backed a petition put forward by Cyd Ho and Dennis Kwok to set up a select committee. The DAB said it opposed the inquiry, but won’t refuse to take part. However, a Legco House Committee recently rejected a proposal to invoke the powers and privileges ordinance to investigate the allegations against Mr Tong, and that means the select committee won’t be able to use the ordinance to force witnesses to give evidence. Meanwhile, the government has also set up an independent review to investigate the ICAC’s spending system. 6 L4 M( S( l/ \% _tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb7 b! a% f/ I0 L" r# W9 m* I
