PETALING JAYA: As the National Day approaches, outspoken lawyer Siti Kassim has launched an NGO in a bid to unite the moderate, liberal and progressive voices in the country.
Known as the Malaysian Action for Justice and Unity Foundation , the NGO would serve as a platform to connect Malaysians of all backgrounds, races and religion with a vision for a progressive society, said Siti.
Siti, who’s also a social activist, made this point during her opening remarks at the launch of Maju at Aman Suria on Wednesday . She stressed that Maju was an apolitical group, and anyone could join as a member, regardless of their ideological leanings or beliefs.
