In a Facebook post, Wan Saiful said NGOs typically make appeals to ministers.
"But it seems Pakatan Harapan (PH) ministers have forgotten that they are ministers, to the extent that ministers are now making appeals to NGOs," he said.
Wan Saiful said if Mohamad was serious about the proposal, then as a minister, he could raise the idea directly with the Cabinet and seek its agreement to instruct the attorney-general to prepare the bill accordingly.
