I refer to the report MPs unite for Parliament shake-up, want PSA back.

I applaud the MPs for finally standing up against some of their peers to speak about democracy and the independence of Parliament from the executive. This includes the Barisan MPs.

At last we can see some democracy creeping in and our MPs bringing Parliament to the fore. Now the editors of newspapers, too, should stand up and report the misdeeds of the government. How else can those of us struggling to make a living not be oppressed by corrupted officials?

It is time to be brave and institutions which once cowered under the fear of oppression - especially on the political front - should now come forward and demonstrate our democracy with courage.
