All were well aware of the sensitivities of the meeting and they did not want to send wrong signals. Nazir said great ideas from the meeting were made available, including to the Government, at that time. While Nazir first proposed the NCC2 in October 2015, the Oxford meeting debated and agreed to push for it. Nazir also believes the peaceful transition of power was a sign that Malaysia is moving towards a healthier, more mature democracy. “Democracy is not just about the votes, it is equally about strong, independent institutions,” Nazir stresses, adding that the Oxford meeting’s recommendations were also passed to Pakatan Harapan leaders.
