A campaign to urge voters to petition lawmakers to reject the proposed amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, better known as Act 355, has been launched.
The campaign is organised by a group known as Bebas, which organised a small public gathering last weekend against the proposed amendments.
Bebas leader Azrul Mohd Khalib said it was important for voters to exercise their democratic role in holding lawmakers to account for laws passed in Parliament.
