NSTleader: We think having local government elections isn’t the only way to ensure good governance. Even if other democratic countries have them. Elections cost money. Big money, in fact.

Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin thinks the best way to do it is by having elections at the local government level. And one unique to Malaysia.

Also, it must be remembered that local elections are not something we can pilot. Many things need to be put in place before one takes place. Enacting laws is just one of them. Should the pilot project fail, no government would want to be caught unwinding dead-letter laws and many things else. Like it or not, we have to have general elections. But local government elections? We like to think, we can elect out of it.
