Rashid: We need to change the electoral system
- 6 years ago
The 14th general election could be the last using the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system as the Electoral Reform Committee (ERC) is looking into the possibility of replacing this with another system to ensure proportionate representation.
"There are a lot of complaints about FPTP being unfair. So we are studying a more proportionate system.
"Basically if you get 60 percent of votes, you (should) get 60 percent of seats," committee chairperson Abdul Rashid Ab Rahman told a press conference in Putrajaya today.
