Prime Minister Najib Razak's recent announcement to set up a Parliamentary Select Committee to review the electoral process in the country took everyone by surprise. It was cautiously welcomed by the Pakatan Rakyat, Bersih and Transparency International, although many were also sceptical about its true motives.

Since 2009 when he took over from Abdullah Badawi, Malaysians have not seen his promised reforms being carried out or showing any result, except for 1Malaysia, which in the end was also found out to be another hollow trick.
