A Human Rights Agenda for PM10 & The New Government

Pause

After a week of political drama and impasse following GE15, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was sworn in as Malaysia’s 10th prime minister last Thursday, with a coalition government led by Pakatan Harapan, with Barisan Nasional, Warisan, Gabungan Rakyat Sabah and Gabungan Parti Sarawak as partners. As we wait for the new cabinet to be unveiled, what should be on the human rights agenda for this new government? Will we see significant reforms being pushed through? We hear from Katrina Jorene Maliamauv, Executive Director of Amnesty International Malaysia.
