ASA 28/06/98 EXTRA 23/98 Fear of Forcible PUBLIC AI Index: ASA 28/06/98 EXTRA 23/98 Fear of forcible refoulement of Acehnese asylum-seekers / Fear of excessive use of force during repatriaton of asylum-seekers and immigrants / Medical and health concerns 27 March 1998 MALAYSIA Amnesty International is concerned that asylum-seekers, from the Aceh province of Indonesia, may be forcibly returned to Indonesia as part of a current wave of deportations of illegal immigrants by the Malaysian Government. Acehnese are at risk of serious human rights violations in a province where incommunicado detention, torture, extrajudicial executions and “disappearances” continue. There are also concerns about the levels of force used by the Malaysian authorities during the deportation process. On 26 March 1998, at least eight Indonesian detainees at the Semenyih detention camp died and dozens were wounded when Malaysian police officers, reportedly armed with batons, water cannon and tear gas, prepared to forcibly repatriate hundreds. One policeman was also killed. Following this, Indonesian government officials have reportedly confirmed that 545 illegal migrants and asylum-seekers - including Acehnese - left Malaysia on 26 March 1998 in an Indonesian naval ship. They are expected to arrive in Aceh next week. According to Malaysian police reports four of those wounded during the disturbances have since died during the deportation. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), though it has gained access to some asylum-seekers, is calling for full access to the detention camps. This is crucial, particularly following the above incident but also in the light of reports of riots breaking out at other detention camps and the denial of adequate medical care and food supplies. Lim Kit Siang, the Secretary-general of the Democratic Action Party of Malaysia, has called on the government to allow for an independent investigation into the camp deaths and for there to be a review of the repatriations. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The deportations are part of an on-going operation by the Malaysian Government to stem the tide of economic migrants from neighbouring Indonesia, fleeing escalating unemployment, food shortages, rising prices and social unrest. According to press reports, about 17,000 alleged illegal immigrants, the majority from Indonesia, are currently held in overcrowded detention camps throughout Malaysia. More than 6,000 are believed to have been deported in March and last week the Malaysian authorities announced plans to deport a further 10,000. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send telegrams/faxes/express/airmail letters in English or your own language: To the Malaysian Government: - urging the Malaysian authorities to put a halt to the current spate of repatriations until they can guarantee that all Acehnese seeking asylum have full access to a fair and satisfactory procedure to determine their refugee status; - ensuring that all those seeking asylum have full access to the UNHCR; 2 - calling for a full investigation into the deaths of Indonesian detainees at Semenyih detention camp during the deportation process on 26 March 1998; - urging that independent monitors be allowed access to the camps; - asking them to clarify the whereabouts and medical condition of the illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers. To the Indonesian Government: - urging the government to lift the restrictions on access to Aceh for human rights monitors and foreign journalists; - urging the government to ensure that those returning are not at risk of human rights violations.

  • Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania
    Malaysia: the 2020 putsch for Malay Islam supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Many people were surprised by the sudden fall of Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government on 21 February 2020, barely two years after winning the historic May 2018 general elections. This article argues that the fall was largely due to the following factors: the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu Islam (Malay Islam Supremacy); the Mahathir-Anwar dispute; Mahathir’s own role in trying to reduce the role of the non-Malays in the government; and the manufactured fear among the Malay polity that the Malays and Islam were under threat. It concludes that the majority of the Malay population, and the Malay establishment, are not ready to share political power with the non- Malays. Introduction Many people were shocked when the Barisan National (BN or National Front) govern- ment lost its majority in the May 2018 general elections. After all, BN had been in power since independence in 1957 and the Federation of Malaysia was generally regarded as a stable, one-party regime. What was even more remarkable was that the person responsible for Malaysia’s first regime change, Mahathir Mohammad, was also Malaysia’s erstwhile longest serving prime minister. He had headed the BN from 1981 to 2003 and was widely regarded as Malaysia’s strongman. In 2017, he assumed leader- ship of the then-opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH or Alliance of Hope) coalition and led the coalition to victory on 9 May 2018. He is remarkable as well for the fact that he became, at the age of 93, the world’s oldest elected leader.1 The was great hope that Malaysia would join the global club of democracy but less than two years on, the PH government fell apart on 21 February 2020.

  • The Issue of Islamic State in Malaysia
    The Journal of Political Science G. C. University, Lahore THE ISSUE OF ISLAMIC STATE IN MALAYSIA Dr. Ibrahim Abu Bakar Introduction There have been six prime ministers of Malaysia since her independence on August 31, 1957 as the Federation of Malaya, and then since September 16, 1963 as the Federation of Malaysia. The six prime ministers are Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra (Aug. 28, 1957 to Sept. 21, 1970), Tun Abdul Razak Hussein (Sept. 22, 1970 to Jan. 14, 1976), Tun Hussein Onn (Jan. 15, 1976 to July 16, 1981), Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad (July 16, 1981 to Oct. 31, 2003), Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Oct. 31, 2003 to April 3, 2009) and then Dato‘ Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak (April 3, 2009 up to the present day). After the independences of Malaya and Malaysia, respectively, the issue of Islamic state in Malaysia has been up and down or merged and submerged. During the premierships of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein Onn, there was the idea of making Malaysia an Islamic state but they did not pay attention to this idea. However, during the premiership of Dr Mahathir, he paid attention to the idea of making Malaysia an Islamic state. In September 2001, Dr. Mahathir publicly declared that Malaysia is already an Islamic state. He disagreed with some Malaysian politicians who upheld that Malaysia was not an Islamic state1. These Malaysian politicians were in the Malay- Muslim opposition party named PAS in Malay or Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PMIP) in English, and those in the dominant non- The author is an Associate Professor at Department of Theology and Philosophy, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (National University of Malaysia), Selangor, Malaysia.

  • Lim, Don't Forget Dad's Robocop Campaign Malaysiakini.Com March 16, 2012
    Lim, don't forget dad's Robocop campaign MalaysiaKini.com March 16, 2012 YOURSAY 'BN may not the choice of most Penang folk, but it is really not necessary to go overboard in rhetoric. Just deliver the results.' Pakatan must beware the dangers of hubris your sayFerdtan: I agree LGE (Penang CM Lim Guan Eng) got it wrong. Rhetoric or not, it is bad taste to sound too confident to wipe out the opposition in the state. He should come out with another statement - to correct the perception of arrogance before the real war, the GE13, begins. With all the mainstream media they controlled, and at the right time, they are sure to spin on this. Please don't forget the failure of party supremo Lim Kit Siang in the 1995 'Robocop' debacle with the DAP's attempt to capture Penang in the Tanjung III project. Begging permission to use the word of an ex-DAP MP, James Wong - in his blog in 2008, he reminisced: "One of the most outrageously meaningless, unintelligible and surreal electoral campaign I have ever seen, without doubt, was Lim Kit Siang's Robocop, which led to the ignominious end of the party's Tangung III project to capture the Penang state government and the supremo's defeat." Please don't take the people for granted. Be humble always. Onyourtoes: I concur with what Terence Netto wrote. No to ‘pembangkang sifar' (zero opposition) although LGE might have stated it rhetorically. In terms of policies and intention, I have no doubt of Pakatan Rakyat's resolve to bring changes to the country.

We had earlier decided to accept the instructions by the ROS, under protest. Since the last National Conference on 4th December 2016, we lost two of DAP’s most important national leaders, the former Secretary-General and my university mate Sdr. Kerk Kim Hock and the former Perak Chairman and one of the earliest DAP members Sdr. Lau Dak Kee. Both of them were detained under the Internal Security Act during the Ops Lalang in 1 987. Let us pay tribute to Sdr Kerk and Lau for their contributions to the Party and to Malaysia, especially during difficult dark years. 1. Crisis and leadership Before I proceed into the details of this special meeting, let us together express DAP’s solidarity with the people of Penang for the recent unprecedented natural disaster of worst flood and storm in history that befell upon us on 4th and 5th November. No words can fully grasp the unexpected calamity. On behalf of DAP, let me express my sincerest gratitude to Penangites and Malaysians that have helped our people during the tumultuous time, and those who continue to assist us till this very moment. Your precious assistance, contributions and donations will forever be appreciated.

  • Ramkarpal to Continue Dad's Legacy of Coffee Shop Meetings If DAP
    Ramkarpal to continue dad’s legacy of coffee shop meetings if DAP wins in Bukit Gelugor Malaysian Insider May 14, 2014 BY LOOI SUE-CHERN For Ramkarpal Singh, a fitting tribute to his father would be not only to win the Bukit Gelugor by-election, but to continue his legacy in using the humble coffee shop near the Air Itam market to raise issues of national interests. The Ju Huat Cafe played host to Karpal's weekend press conferences in Penang, which he would have after 11am on Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays. Ramkarpal, 38, said his father would make the trip there to meet the press and his constituents, regardless if it was rain or shine. And reporters were always guaranteed of a good story from the veteran politician, who won the Bukit Gelugor parliamentary seat after the 2004 general election. "This coffee shop holds many memories. The 'Ah Ee' (auntie) who runs the place has agreed to let us continue the practice if we win again," Ramkarpal told reporters at Ju Huat this morning during his visit to Air Itam for the by-election campaign. He said it was like a homecoming affair for him visiting Air Itam and the coffee shop because his father loved the place. "He would have his breakfast here and give his press conferences before going back to his office. We hope these memories and tradition will continue," he said. State DAP chairman Chow Kon Yeow said the Penang party committee kept a keen interest in Karpal's press conferences at the coffee shop.

Schejter Associate Professor of Mass Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Richard D. Taylor Professor of Mass Communications Jorge R. Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.

  • 'DAP's Opposition of Malaysia As an Islamic State'
    Political Managements and Policies in Malaysia ‘DAP’s Opposition of Malaysia as an Islamic State’ R. Sivaperegasam P. Rajanthiran Abstract e brave and controversial declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state by YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on the 29 September 2001, was vehemently opposed by the DAP. is paper analyses and explores the justifi cation of the said declaration as well as the pattern and rationale for DAP’s oppositionism. e DAP had specifi cally highlighted and protested via its “929” campaign that YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad’s declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state was unconstitutional, undemocratic and arbitrary. e DAP party stalwarts maintained that Malaysia was a secular state since Independence and ought to continue remaining so in the best interests of a pluralistic Malaysia. e primary focus of this paper therefore is to identify and discuss the fl aws in the DAP’s said claim, and instead highlight the fact that Malaysia is rightfully an Islamic state from Independence and beyond. YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir’s declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state is the climax of the Islamisation policy conducted throughout to put Malaysia back on the world map as a reputable Islamic state just as how it had been during the days of the pre- colonisation era. Malaysia was declared as an Islamic state by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad on the 29 th September, 2001 at the Gerakan national 39 th delegates’ conference with the consensus of all other BN component parties present. ! is brave and controversial declaration of Malaysia as an Islamic state by Tun Dr.
