Former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has filed an originating summons seeking to declare the National Security Council (NSC) Act 2016 unconstitutional, following the act coming into force yesterday.
He is also seeking an injunction to prevent the NSC from exercising its powers under the act pending this case.
"Anwar, as the true leader of the opposition, has come and shown the way forward and the way we have to fight back to get our rights for our country.
"You see, even the Conference of Rulers actually objected; (they) actually asked for a review of this act before it was gazetted but the government didn't pay heed and went ahead.
"So now we have to take action and do something because it's important," Anwar's wife and Opposition Leader Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail told reporters after they filed the summons at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur today.
