The Arau MP says it is time for Malaysia to consider implementing the ‘group representation constituency’ system.
Shahidan Kassim said the Indian community makes up 6.6% of the population and they should be entitled to at least 16 seats.
He said it was time for Malaysia to consider a different electoral system, given that the existing one was determined in 1957 when the Federal Constitution came into force.“For example, the Indian community makes up 6.6% of the population and they are entitled to 16 seats . But if you look at the number of seats they currently have, it’s not enough,” he told the Dewan Rakyat.
Under Singapore’s system, the electorate in the GRC will vote for a group of individuals to be their MPs, who must be from the same political party or all independents.At least one of the MPs in the group representing a GRC must belong to a minority community, either a Malay, an Indian or another minority.
