PKR founding member
The 87-year-old former Universiti Malaya associate professor was detained under the now-repealed Internal Security Act (ISA) from 1974 to 1980 for fighting for the plight of poor farmers in Baling, Kedah. He became a PKR deputy president after the merger of Parti Rakyat Malaysia, of which he was president, and Parti Keadilan Nasional in 2003. HE called on the government to apologise to all ISA detainees.
