Pakatan Rakyat MPs in Parliament currently castigated a supervision for presenting a some-more repressive law despite being globally panned after it resorted to difficult military measures to clamp down upon dissent.

The organisers estimated 50,000 people incited out for a rally, but central total put a total closer to 6,000 with nearly 1,600 arrested.
