KUALA LUMPUR: Civil society should hound Pakatan Harapan ministers and politicians for civil rights reforms, says Attorney General, Tommy Thomas.

He cited the moves by the government not to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court , as examples where Pakatan had failed to deliver.

Thomas said ministers like Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo and Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran were lawyers and could help push for reforms in the Cabinet. "I think of all of us have become complacent after May 10 and expect the government, or even me, to perform miracles.Thomas added that civil rights groups should also focus on bringing about changes through the law, rather than seeking constitutional amendments.

Thomas assured civil rights groups that his office would act swiftly to draft changes to the laws, once the government decided to amend them.
