  • Malaysia 2018 Human Rights Report
    MALAYSIA 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy. It has a parliamentary system of government selected through regular, multiparty elections and is headed by a prime minister. The king is the head of state and serves a largely ceremonial role; he serves a five-year term; the kingship rotates among the sultans of the nine states with hereditary rulers. In May parliamentary elections, the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition defeated the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, resulting in the first transfer of power between coalitions since independence in 1957. Before and during the campaign, opposition politicians and civil society organizations alleged electoral irregularities and systemic disadvantages for opposition groups due to lack of media access and malapportioned districts favoring the then-ruling coalition. Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over security forces. Human rights issues included: reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government or its agents; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; censorship, site blocking, and abuse of criminal libel law; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; corruption; violence against transgender persons and criminalization of adult same-sex sexual activities; child labor; and trafficking in persons. The government arrested and prosecuted some officials engaged in corruption, malfeasance, and human rights abuses, although civil society groups alleged continued impunity. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. According to the National Human Rights Commission (SUHAKAM), 521 persons died in prison from 2015 through 2016, while more than 100 individuals died in immigration detention centers.

Allen Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 24, 2017, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in City Planning ABSTRACT Land building is the infilling of littoral or wetlands systems with developable dryland. It has long been used by state actors to overcome territorial constraints and conquer "wastelands" for economic development, but is increasingly used for large-scale, privately-financed real estate development. For these projects, land building is especially advantageous to both state and development interests because it can bypass traditional land acquisition and because it is unencumbered by prior legal claims, uses, or ecological functions.

    Pasir Gudang: Darurat atau tidak? Malaysiakini 15 Mac 2019 KINIGUIDE | Ketika kejadian pembuangan sisa toksik di Pasir Gudang timbul sejak minggu lalu, cadangan mengisytiharkan kawasan itu sebagai kawasan darurat mula kedengaran tetapi tidak menjadi kenyataan. Anggota Parlimen Pasir Gudang, Hassan Abdul Karim menimbulkan isu itu dengan menggesa kerajaan mengumumkan darurat semasa perbahasan parlimen pada Khamis. Speaker Dewan Rakyat Mohamad Ariff Mohd Yusof membenarkan usul dibawa Hassan dibahaskan pada hari yang sama tanpa undian, tetapi Perdana Menteri Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata tidak perlu mengisytiharkan darurat. Apa yang berlaku di Pasir Gudang dan bagaimanakah darurat boleh mengubah banyak perkara? Ini adalah topik dalam Panduankini kali ini. Apa yang berlaku di Pasir Gudang? Selepas kakitangan dan murid di dua buah sekolah di daerah itu mengalami kesan akibat bahan kimia terbabit, punca bahan kimia itu dikenalpasti dibuang secara haram di bawah jambatan di sepanjang Sungai Kim Kim. Bahan kimia berkenaan digambarkan sebagai hitam dan berminyak. Akhbar Singapura, Straits Times memetik seorang penyiasat yang tidak dinamakan berkata ia dikenalpasti sebagai sisa minyak marin yang digunakan untuk melincirkan enjin kapal. Menurut Menteri Tenaga, Sains, Teknologi, Alam Sekitar dan Perubahan Iklim Yeo Bee Yin, ujian yang dijalankan oleh unit bahan berbahaya telah menemui metana, hidrogen klorida, acrylonitrile, acrolein dan benzena. Di samping itu, beliau berkata sampel diambil dari Sungai Kim Kim oleh Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) mengesan pelarut organik benzena, toluena, xilena, etilbenzena, dan d-limonene. Bagaimanapun, beliau tidak mengatakan sama ada bahan kimia yang terdapat dalam sampel JAS juga dikesan di tapak pembuangan haram itu. Siapa yang terjejas? Insiden itu mula dikesan berlaku pada 7 Mac apabila pelajar dan kakitangan di SK Taman Pasir Putih dan SMK Taman Pasir Putih mengadu kesukaran bernafas, mual, muntah dan bau yang tidak menyenangkan.

  • Student Union a New Narrative of Student Activism
    KESATUAN PELAJAR DI MALAYSIA: NARATIF BAHARU GERAKAN MAHASISWA (Student Union in Malaysia: A New Narrative of Student Activism) Zulkifli Hasan Timbalan Rektor (Pembangunan Pelajar dan Penglibatan Masyarakat) International Islamic University Malaysia Abstrak Setakat pengetahuan penulis, sehingga hari ini, tiada karya ilmiah mahupun dokumentari khusus dan terperinci mengenai Kesatuan Pelajar di Malaysia. Sejarah Kesatuan Pelajar di Malaysia juga tidak direkodkan secara menyeluruh dan generasi hari ini dan akan datang pastinya tidak berpeluang mempelajari dan mengambil pengajaran pengalaman lalu yang amat berharga. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan perspektif baharu kepada aktivisme dan gerakan mahasiswa di Malaysia menerusi model Kesatuan Pelajar. Penulis menggunakan metodologi kaedah penyelidikan kepustakaan dengan menelusuri dan menganalisis literatur dan amalan-amalan Kesatuan Pelajar di United Kingdom dan pengalaman Kesatuan Pelajar zaman era 60an dan 70an di Malaysia. Penulis juga mengongsikan pengalaman secara langsung penubuhan Kesatuan Pelajar pertama di Malaysia di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia setelah Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti (Akta 30) diperkenalkan pada 1971. Artikel ini mendapati bahawa gerakan mahasiswa menerusi model Kesatuan Pelajar pada era 60an dan 70an di Malaysia adalah lebih efisyen dan berkesan. Idea mengembalikan penubuhan Kesatuan Pelajar boleh menjadi pencetus kepada naratif baharu aktivisme mahasiswa yang lebih progresif dan dinamik. Dengan kelebihan model Kesatuan Pelajar yang bergerak sebagai entiti sendiri dengan ciri-ciri yang unik membuka peluang yang lebih besar dan berpotensi memberikan impak signifikan kepada pembangunan pelajar, institusi dan masyarakat. Kata Kunci: Kesatuan Pelajar, universiti, generasi, naratif dan mahasiswa. Abstract As to the best of the writer’s knowledge, as of today, there is no specific and extensive academic writing or documentary about Student Union in Malaysia.

  • Astroawani[19November2019]Peralihan Kuasa Akan Berlaku Bila
    Peralihan kuasa akan berlaku bila tiba masanya - Tun Mahathir AstroAwani 19 November 2019 Khairunnisa Kasnoon, SEPANG: Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad berkata, pentadbirannya akan bertukar apabila tiba masa yang sesuai. "Kita belum tahu lagi keadaan negara sekarang ini, sama ada bersedia untuk beralih pentadbiran atau tidak. Bila sampai masanya kita tentukan," ujarnya. Dr Mahathir menjawab dakwaan punca kekalahan Pakatan Harapan di Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Tanjung Piai baru-baru ini disebabkan tiada garis masa yang jelas mengenai peralihan kuasa. Malah, beliau juga menerima tuduhan dari pihak tertentu yang menyalahkannya kerana kekalahan tersebut. "Mungkin saya salah, mana saya boleh tau," katanya lagi. Beliau berkata demikian ketika menghadiri Majlis Perasmian Penutup Program Multaqa Ulama Asia Tenggara 2019 di Pusat Konvensyen dan Hotel Movenpick pada Selasa. PRK Tanjung Piai 16 November lepas, menyaksikan calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng menang besar dengan majoriti 15,086 undi. Jeck Seng memperoleh 25,466 undi daripada 128 peti undi mengatasi lima pencabarnya yang lain. Calon Pakatan Harapan (PH), Karmaine Sardini, mendapat 10,380 undi, manakala calon GERAKAN, Wendy Subramaniam dengan 1,707 undi. Susulan keputusan PRK Tanjung Piai itu, bekas Timbalan Presiden PKR, Syed Husin Ali mendakwa ia adalah referendum terhadap kerajaan pimpinan Dr Mahathir. Beberapa Ahli Parlimen PH turut dilaporkan mendesak perubahan dalam kepemimpinan pakatan itu. Ia termasuk Ahli Parlimen Pasir Gudang, Hassan Abdul Karim yang dilaporkan berkata, Dr Mahathir harus mencontohi David Cameron, yang meletak jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri pada 2016, kerana gagal menghalang United Kingdom meninggalkan Kesatuan Eropah (EU). Pada Isnin, Dr Mahathir berkata, PH akan membuat 'post mortem' yang terperinci, serius dan jujur di semua peringkat parti bagi mengenal pasti punca sebenar kekalahan pada PRK Tanjung Piai.

  • 'Muhyiddin Kekal PM Kerajaan Minoriti Selagi Tak Lepasi Ujian Di Parlimen'
    'Muhyiddin kekal PM kerajaan minoriti selagi tak lepasi ujian di parlimen' Malaysiakini 17 May 2020 Hassan Abdul Karim ULASAN | Esok, Isnin 18 Mei 2020 ialah tarikh yang penting. Istiadat perasmian pembukaan Mesyuarat Pertama, Penggal Ketiga, Parlimen Ke-14 akan dilakukan Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Parlimen adalah simbol bahawa demokrasi berfungsi di Malaysia, sebuah negara demokratik, bebas, berdaulat yang menjunjung kedaulatan undang-undang dan keluhuran perlembagaan. Menjelang sidang parlimen esok, ada persoalan yang masih menunggu jawapan iaitu: Bilakah undi tidak percaya terhadap Perdana Menteri Muhyiddin Yassin akan dibentangkan di parlimen? Selagi Muhyiddin belum lepas dan belum lulus ujian undi tidak percaya yang dikemukakan ke Dewan Rakyat dan diterima oleh speaker, maka status ahli parlimen Pagoh itu masih kekal sebagai perdana menteri kerajaan minoriti. Kabinetnya ialah kabinet kerajaan minoriti. Sebuah kerajaan minoriti mempunyai bersifat keabsahannya (legitimacy) sementara. Muhyiddin mesti - dalam masa yang segera pada peluang yang ada - membuktikan beliau mempunyai cukup sokongan daripada ahli parlimen untuk menunjukkan bahawa kerajaannya adalah sebuah kerajaan majoriti, hatta dengan majoriti mudah seramai 112 orang saja. Muhyiddin dilantik oleh Agong sebagai perdana menteri pada 1 Mac 2020 berdasarkan peruntukan Perkara 43 (2) (a) Perlembagaan Persekutuan iaitu "Yang di-Pertuan Agong hendaklah terlebih dahulu melantik sebagai perdana menteri untuk mempengerusikan jemaah menteri seorang ahli Dewan Rakyat yang pada hematnya mungkin mendapat kepercayaan majoriti ahli Dewan Rakyat itu." Ukuran standard yang diguna pakai dalam Perkara 43 (2)(a) itu ialah ukuran subjektif, bukannya objektif. Perkataan dalam peruntukan perlembagaan itu ialah "pada hematnya mungkin..." Muhyiddin selaku perdana menteri kerajaan minoriti mesti melepasi ujian objektif iaitu menghadapi dengan seberapa segera usul undi tidak percaya yang dibawa Ahli Parlimen Langkawi Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

  • PRM to Challenge PKR in Balik Pulau, PJS, Selayang Malaysiakini.Com November 14 ,2011 Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) Has Announced
    PRM to challenge PKR in Balik Pulau, PJS, Selayang Malaysiakini.com November 14 ,2011 Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) has announced it will contest in three parliamentary seats currently held by PKR in the coming general election. In a statement issued today, PRM said its newly-elected president Dr Rohana Ariffin (left) had announced it would contest in Balik Pulau in Penang, and Selayang and Petaling Jaya Selatan in Selangor. The three constituencies are represented by Yusmadi Yusof, William Leong and Hee Loy Sian respectively. Unless PRM can resolve the matter with PKR, therefore, there will be a three-cornered fight among the two parties and BN in the next general election, which some expect to be held early next year. It is understood that there is currently no deal between PRM and PKR. The latter is expected to issue a statement when its political bureau meets on Wednesday evening. PRM was said to have merged with PKR precursor Parti Keadilan Nasional in 2003 after protracted discussions between leaders of the two parties. A faction within PRM, however, claims a significant number of its members were against the merger, that it is still functioning as a political party, and is still recognised as a separate entity by the Registrar of Societies. However, PKR leaders, including those formerly in the leadership of the leftist party founded in 1955 by independence fighter and one-time MP Ahmad Boestamam, have insisted that PRM no longer exists. They pointed out that some of its leaders, such as former president Hassan Abdul Karim (right) and secretary-general SK Song - who were among those who insisted on PRM’s continued existence - had even contested the 2004 general election under the PKR banner.
