Apabila kita bersatu, perubahan menjadi nyata. Itulah mengapa advokasi awam itu penting. ✊

Melalui sokongan dan kerjasama yang erat, masyarakat sivil mampu menekan kerajaan dalam merujuk RUU Kebebasan Maklumat 2026 kepada Jawatankuasa Pilihan Khas Parlimen (JPKP) untuk pertimbangan selanjutnya.

Namun, semuanya belum berakhir. Kita harus tetap menuntut proses rundingan yang telus, menyeluruh dan komited daripada semua pihak dalam memperkasa RUU ini.

Ramai dalang kini bersandiwara tetapi untuk kebaikan siapa sebenarnya? Apabila kami sampai di saat gentar, kena buat keputusan penting, seperti di pilihanraya - kita kena ingat untuk bernafas dan bersabar dan ingat untuk memilih untuk semua dan bukan untuk mereka.
