PETALING JAYA:
Bersih 2.0 chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah says she is still “undecided” over the possibility of contesting in the 14th general election (GE14).

She was commenting on rumours that she would run under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) banner.

“I have, in fact, been approached to consider running so as to be a voice for civil society in Parliament.

“It is a serious matter that is still under discussion but one of the clear aims is to take the civil society agenda for justice, freedom, good governance, free and fair elections and human rights straight to Parliament,” she said in a statement.

Her statement did not state which party she would represent or the seat she would be contesting.

“Once a decision is made one way or another, I will inform the public,” Maria said.

Last week, speculation was rife that activist Ambiga Sreenevasan and Maria would be making their debut in politics as Pakatan Harapan candidates in GE14.

However, the two had quashed rumours that they would be joining the opposition pact.
