PM should be more 'authoritarian' in implementing human rights reform - activist

A human rights activist has urged Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his government to be less "ultra-sensitive" and more firm in seeing through human rights reforms including signing international treaties.

At a forum in the capital today, Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights (MCCHR) director Edmund Bon commended Pakatan Harapan’s more consultative approach to governance as compared to BN.
