Annie Ooi Siew
Lan and Rosni Malan have pleaded with the king not to dissolve Parliament until
electoral reforms have taken place.
Rosni’s husband,
Baharuddin Ahmad, died from heart complications during the rally. Ooi, nicknamed
“Aunty Bersih” was seen being sprayed with chemical-laced water cannons and tear
gas during the rally.
They are asking
the king, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, to use his discretion to not consent to
Parliament’s dissolution anytime soon.
Speaking on
their behalf, their lawyer M Visvanathan said: “What we’re trying to achieve is
to put enough pressure on the powers-that-be, especially the Yang
Dipertuan-Agong, to invoke his discretion. He does have the discretion, it
should be exercised in this case.”
“It is not a
demand…(We ask) that the Agong use his discretion not to dissolve
Parliament.”
