Pakatan rule of Selangor – how has it fared?
Thanks goes to the newly formed Radio Free Malaysia (RFM) for interviewing me recently on the record of the Selangor state government over the past five years. The interview was conducted in Malay. Click here to listen to this episode of RFM.
Sure, the Selangor government under Pakatan Rakyat governance has performed well in democratic progress and economic performance as can be seen in the revival of local government elections in new villages at least, a historic first in a Freedom of Information Enactment, and the highest ever revenue in 28 years; but how have ordinary Selangorians benefited from their five-year governance? We ask former insider, Tricia Yeoh, who was research officer to the Selangor Menteri Besar’s office and is now research director with Institut Rakyat, a PKR-affiliated think tank.
