Dewan Negara speaker Abu Zahar Ujang today declined to meet activist Ambiga Sreenevasan, who was at Parliament to call for a delay in the debate on the National Security Council Bill in the Upper House.

PKR Senator Syed Husin Ali said Abu Zahar did not want to meet with the National Human Rights Association (Hakam) president because he “does not want to be influenced” .

He was also short of time, Syed Husin told reporters after meeting Abu Zahar on the NSC Bill for 20 minutes this morning.
