KUALA LUMPUR: Civil society should hound Pakatan Harapan ministers and politicians for civil rights reforms, says Attorney General, Tommy Thomas. He also lamented that civil rights groups had become complacent, after Pakatan took over as the government. Thomas added that civil rights groups should also focus on bringing about changes through the law, rather than seeking constitutional amendments. Thomas assured civil rights groups that his office would act swiftly to draft changes to the laws, once the government decided to amend them. On the issue of arrests of offences related to civil liberties, Thomas said the decision to investigate came under police jurisdiction.
