KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim may risk being labelled the “worst prime minister” Malaysia ever had if he does not make concerted efforts to implement the changes and amendments he preached when he was in the Opposition, human rights watchdog Suaram said today.
“If we compare the PM now and before I want to say Anwar is the better choice due to his reform agenda and background. But with that baggage, if he fails to deliver he would be the worst prime minister as the previous prime minister didn't promise much in the form of reforms," he said while launching Suaram's report here.
Earlier this month, the Parliament passed a Bill that proposed to make the death penalty an option and no longer mandatory. It was passed via a voice vote after it was tabled for its third reading, and would now need to be approved in the Dewan Negara as well before being presented to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for royal assent.
Sevan recalled in the past a group of MPs fighting the Sedition Act and called for it to be abolished, but with those MPs now in the government, Sedition Act is not even on the list of laws that need amendment or to be abolished.
