Activist Haris Ibrahim is returning to legal practice, despite his Stage 4 lung cancer, as he wants to bring the message that Malaysia was intended to be a secular nation.

He will be joining the firm of his fellow lawyer Ashok Kandiah and his partners, which will now be known as Haris Ibrahim Kandiah Partnership.

Haris said his health and the required medical treatments may not allow him to travel the nation to spread two key messages he believes are essential to saving the country.
