HUMAN rights group Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) has criticised Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for the slow pace of institutional and legal reforms promised by him. Some of the criticisms are unjustified for many reasons.

The Prime Minister has been in office only since Nov 24, 2022; his Cabinet had its maiden meeting on Dec 5; and the 15th Parliament had its first sitting on Dec 20.
