Back to the past with Ops Lalang

KUALA LUMPUR: A programme to remind the public about Ops Lalang and its impact on Malaysia is being organised by a coalition of civil societies in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the crackdown.

Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) executive director Sevan Doraisamy said they wanted to raise awareness, especially among youths, about the operation, describing it as “one of the most severe violations of human rights in Malaysian history”.
