About 50 protesters marched to Parliament today, demanding that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak fulfils his promise to abolish the Internal Security Act (ISA).
The group led by anti-ISA coalition Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) gathered at the Lake Gardens at 11am and walked the roughly 700 metres to the gates of the Parliament building.A six-member delegation led by GMI chairperson Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh then entered the grounds to hand over two memoranda, one addressed to Najib and the other for Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
However, only Anwar came forward to accept the memorandum. He promised to send Najib's copy to the Prime Minister's Office, and to finalise a Private Member's Bill on the abolition of the ISA that he intends to file.
