Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to former law professor Gurdial Singh Nijar, president of the National Human Rights Society (Hakam).

Why are most elected represntatives of legislatures in many countries collecting high remuneration packages especially those who may not be functioning but just staying at home while tens of millions of workers in many countries may be unemployed or not allowed to work under the conditions imposed due to CIVID-19 and thus suffering?
Some may have agreed to have some deductions of their salaries but why are most appear to be keeping silent while those who voted for them may continue suffering?
WHY DO THOSE IN POWER CONTINUE TO BE PAID? BECAUSE THEY VOTED FOR THEMSELVES!!!
