  • By-Elections in Kuala Selangor No Ordinary Affair, Says Anwar
    27 MAY 1997 Anwar-Election BY-ELECTIONS IN KUALA SELANGOR NO ORDINARY AFFAIR, SAYS ANWAR KUALA SELANGOR, May 27 (Bernama) -- Acting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the by-elections in Kuala Selangor is not an ordinary by-election as it will elect the new head of the Selangor state government. As such, the Barisan Nasional (BN) machinery in the Kuala Selangor division, should work hard to woo support to ensure victory of BN candidates contesting in Permatang state seat and Kuala Selangor parliamentary seat. "If the federal government and party leadership showed continued commitment, I feel the locals should feel more responsible not only to ensure victory but to lend solid and total support," he said when addressing the Kuala Selangor BN by-election machinery here today. Anwar, who is also Acting Umno president, referred to the Permatang state seat contested by Datuk Abu Hassan Omar, who had been named as the new Selangor Menteri Besar and Datuk Jamaluddin Adnan fielded in the Kuala Selangor parliamentary seat. The by-elections are held when Abu Hassan and Jamaluddin resigned simultaneously on May 2 in a direct swap of seats when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad named Abu Hassan as Selangor Menteri Besar. Under the Selangor State Constitution, a Menteri Besar must be a member of the State Legislative Assembly. Abu Hassan, who also resigned as Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister on May 2, was then incumbent Kuala Selangor MP. Abu Hassan is locked in a straight fight with PAS' Haji Mohd Maskuri Haji Mardzuki while Jamaluddin is up against Ahmad Alang, also from PAS.

  • Pengorbanan Tokoh Melayu Dikenang (BH 27/06/2000)
    27/06/2000 Pengorbanan tokoh Melayu dikenang iewed by Salbiah Ani JUDUL: Insan Pejuang Bangsa Melayu Abad Ke-20 PENULIS: Khairul Azmi Mohamad dan AF Yassin PENERBIT: Yayasan Warisan Johor HALAMAN: 146 halaman BUKU Insan Pejuang Bangsa Melayu Abad Ke-20 merakamkan detik bersejarah dalam kehidupan insan yang menjadi peneraju Umno pada awal kebangkitan bangsa Melayu lewat 1940-an. Hambatan dan jerit payah yang terpaksa dilalui pejuang Umno dirakamkan dalam buku ini bagi membolehkan generasi muda berkongsi pengalaman dan menghayati erti pengorbanan. Semua orang Melayu di Malaysia biar bagaimana pendirian politik mereka, terpaksa mengakui hakikat Umno yang menjadi tonggak kepada usaha penyatuan bangsa Melayu bagi mengusir penjajah keluar dari Tanah Melayu. Selain itu, tidak boleh dinafikan Umno juga adalah perintis usaha pembaikan dan pembinaan bangsa yang selama ini diperkotak-katikkan tangan asing. Tokoh yang ditampilkan dalam buku berkenaan ialah Datuk Onn Ja'afar, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra al-Haj, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein, Tun Hussein Onn, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tun Dr Ismail Abd Rahman, Tan Sri Musa Hitam, Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba, Tan Sri Senu Abd Rahman dan Tun Sardon Jubir. Tidak ketinggalan Tan Sri Syed Jaafar Albar, Tan Sri Zainun Munsyi Sulaiman, Tan Sri Fatimah Hashim, Tan Sri Aishah Ghani, Dr Abd Rahman Talib, Tan Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, Tan Sri Sulaiman Ninam Shah, Tun Syed Nasir, Abd Aziz Ishak dan Datuk Ahmad Badawi Abdullah Fahim. Sesetengah daripada tokoh pejuang Melayu ini mungkin tidak dikenali sama sekali generasi muda kini kerana mereka lebih dulu menemui Ilahi tetapi sumbangan mereka terus melakari sejarah negara. Penulis buku ini, Dr Khairul Azmi dan AF Yassin, memilih tokoh untuk ditampilkan sebagai pejuang berdasarkan kedudukan mereka sebagai pemimpin tertinggi Umno.

While governments chose to tackle “the issue of prostitution” through punitive, rather than social measures by directly criminalizing sex workers, or indirectly punishing them by offences of drug use and possession, homelessness, hooliganism or vagrancy, aboitionist feminists mobilized and lobbied for the introduction of the criminalization of clients (also known as the Swedish Model). This model criminalizes the purchase of sexual services, at the same time it pushes sex workers into clandestine working environments, exposing them to health risks and violence.1 In Central-Eastern Europe and Central Asia (CEECA), similar abolitionist proposals so far have not reached legislative levels, but public debates surrounding sex work have intensifed. In the region, abolitionist feminists might not have very close ties to governments (yet), however, they shape public opinion through their platforms and media connections, and frequently (cyber-)bully sex worker rights activists. In order to prepare its membership for potential abolitionist campaigns, the Sex Workers’ Rights Advocacy Network (SWAN) initiated conversations with its members on topics related to sex work and feminism.

  • The Civic Origins of Progressive Policy Change: Combating Violence Against Women in Global Perspective, 1975–2005 MALA HTUN University of New Mexico S
    American Political Science Review Vol. 106, No. 3 August 2012 doi:10.1017/S0003055412000226 The Civic Origins of Progressive Policy Change: Combating Violence against Women in Global Perspective, 1975–2005 MALA HTUN University of New Mexico S. LAUREL WELDON Purdue University ver the past four decades, violence against women (VAW) has come to be seen as a violation of human rights and an important concern for social policy. Yet government action remains O uneven. Some countries have adopted comprehensive policies to combat VAW, whereas others have been slow to address the problem. Using an original dataset of social movements and VAW policies in 70 countries over four decades, we show that feminist mobilization in civil society—not intra-legislative political phenomena such as leftist parties or women in government or economic factors like national wealth—accounts for variation in policy development. In addition, we demonstrate that autonomous movements produce an enduring impact on VAW policy through the institutionalization of feminist ideas in international norms. This study brings national and global civil society into large-n explanations of social policy, arguing that analysis of civil society in general—and of social movements in particular—is critical to understanding progressive social policy change. iolence against women is a global problem. Re- is widely seen as a question of fundamental human search from North America, Europe, Africa, rights. Many national governments and international VLatin America, the Middle East, and Asia organizations have adopted a wide variety of measures has found astonishingly high rates of sexual assault, to address VAW, including legal reform, public educa- stalking, trafficking, violence in intimate relationships, tion campaigns, and support for shelters and rape crisis and other violations of women’s bodies and psy- centers.
