Pakatan Harapan and Amanah national youth chief Shazni Munir has succumbed to Covid-19.
He was reportedly in critical condition and was declared a Category 5 patient on Sunday.
In March this year, Shazni took part in the #Undi18 protest in front of the parliament, showing his solidarity to the young Malaysians who demanded for the implementation of the amendments to allow young people to vote.
I remembered last year, I invited him over to be my guest on Bicara Minggu Ini, and despite his busy time, he made sure that he would be there. Gone too soon, Shazni.
The last time I met him was during the #Undi18 protest in front of the Parliament.

Law says it must be revoked through YDPA.
YDPA has not consented.
So the Ordinances have not been revoked.
Yet you guys say they have been revoked.
So how can say you have followed the law?
