Apparently bending to widespread criticism of a government crackdown on a July 9 march demanding electoral reform, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak said Tuesday that a parliamentarycommittee is to be formed to seek to reform the system. The announcement of the select committee, to be formed as soon as possible, Najib said, appears to answer a central demand of the reform group Bersih, a coalition of good-government organizations backed by opposition parties to clean up the electoral process.
