Three prominent Muslim NGO leaders met with Dr Mahathir Mohamad last week with the hope that he would pressure Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak into acting on their concerns.
Speaking to Malaysiakini, Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) chairperson Dr Farouk Musa described the meeting held last Tuesday as a private initiative.
He clarified that the trio, who are also members of the G25, did not represent the group's agenda.
He said that hudud was the main thrust of the meeting, which was also attended by Sisters in Islam (SIS) founding member Zainah Anwar and Movement for a JUST World (JUST) chairperson Chandra Muzaffar.
"It was not an G25 agenda, it was a private initiative between the three of us. We wanted to voice out our concerns about what is happening in this country – the rise of extremists' voice and all the Isma (Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia) and Perkasa issues.
"They are doing whatever they think it right, and nobody is saying no to them," he said.
