PETALING JAYA: Seemingly ignored for the 16th consecutive year by the august house that established it, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) is calling on Parliament to “own” the human rights issue.  

“This is the 16th consecutive year that Suhakam has not had its annual report debated by Parliament,” its chairman Tan Sri Razali Ismail (pix) said in the commission’s 2016 report.
