Anwar- No need for a shadow cabinet...

The opposition pact does not need to form a shadow cabinet as its parliamentary committee set up previously is able to fulfil the criteria, says Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"The committee has already been looking into the issues according to the respective portfolios," he said after chairing a meeting of the Pakatan Rakyat supreme council and the menteris besar and chief ministers of states under opposition rule, here, today.

Anwar was responding to the recent statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, challenging the opposition pact to depict their cabinet through a shadow cabinet if they were so bent on governing the country.

Meanwhile, Anwar called on Muslim countries and the United Nations to stop the brutality and killing of civilians in Libya as anti-government unrest spreads in the North African country.

"We strongly condemn the actions of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi who continues to oppress his people and we pray that the Libyans will continue to rise against and reject the despotic leader," he said.

Libya is going through a turbulent time since thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets since a week ago, demanding Gaddafi to step down.
