Some 41 NGOs and civil society organisations are urging for the restoration of Parliament to end nationwide anxiety caused by inadequate safety nets in the ongoing state of emergency and movement control order (MCO).

“Without effective checks and balances, the state of emergency has undermined parliamentary democracy in the country."

The group includes G25 Malaysia, IMAN Research, the Kuala Lumpur And Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, and Suaram.
