Pakatan Rakyat (PR) today announced the formation of committees made up of MPs to shadow the Barisan Nasional's (BN) 25 Cabinet ministers.

PKR vice-president Azmin Ali, who made the announcement, declared that the committees formed were not exactly a shadow Cabinet, but designed to improve the quality of debate in Parliament.

“For now these committees are sufficient to play an active role in the Dewan Rakyat in articulating issues concerning the people,” said Azmin.

But the Gombak MP said that the formation of the committees was a step towards forming a shadow Cabinet.

He added that the committees had already been performing their duties for a while but the announcement had to be delayed as the coalition “had to focus on more important issues.”
