KUALA LUMPUR, Apr 2 — Lawyer and human rights activist Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan today said that it was time for the civil society to pressure the government to reopen Parliament and challenge the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government for delaying the implementation of Undi18.

She also urged Opposition MPs to form a shadow cabinet and respond to new laws, policy and decisions made by the PN government.

“Civil society must speak up, also the parliamentarians...parliamentarians should form shadow cabinets and they should be responding to what the government is doing,” she told reporters during a press conference outside the Dang Wangi police district headquarters today.

Ambiga is one of the four individuals including three MPs that had their statements recorded from the police today for protesting in front of the parliament last Saturday over the delay in the implementation of Undi18.
