Veteran opposition MP Lim Kit Siang has called on all members of the cabinet to march alongside Bersih 2.0 come July 9, in support of electoral reform.

He also asked the inspector-general of police (IGP) to facilitate Bersih's march to Istana Negara on the day.

"Let July 9 be a historic day in Malaysia to celebrate the coming-of-age of 54 years of parliamentary democracy where political parties, both ruling and opposition, together with the civil society, can come together to address the major defects of our democratic system of governance," Lim told a press conference at the Parliament lobby today.

"The many serious flaws of the electoral system fail to give real meaning to the principle of 'one person, one vote, one value'; a clean, free and fair election process and elected government which commands unquestioned credibility, legitimacy and authority.
