1 27 September 2012 Open Letter to HE Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato
27 September 2012 Open letter to H.E. Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Najib Abdul Razak; Honorable Chief Minister of Penang State Government Mr. Lim Guan Eng; Honorable Chief Minister of Selangor State Government Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, On the occasion of the global celebration of International Right to Know Day, on 28 September, we, the undersigned organisations, would like to highlight that access to information is a crucial part of an enabling environment in which the public and civil society organisations can participate in decision-making, and the media can report in the public interest and scrutinise wrongdoing and corruption in the public sector. It is, as a result, a key part of a sound development program, as well as being a human right. We are writing to ask the Federal Barisan Nasional coalition to make an election commitment, in the upcoming general elections, to adopt right to information legislation as soon as possible. The right to information has been recognised internationally as a fundamental human right and it is therefore incumbent on all countries to adopt legislation giving effect to it. To date, more than 90 countries around the world have adopted right to information legislation, affirming the global recognition of this fundamental human right, as enshrined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We are very concerned that the Barisan Nasional government has persistently rejected calls to enact such a law and has instead systematically targeted whistleblowers and individuals who have sought to expose wrongdoing and corruption in the public sector. The government’s persistent denial of this right is putting its credibility and popularity increasingly at risk. -

9mm NIK NAZMI AHMAD With a New Preface and Postscript by the Author For Review onlyNIK NAZMI NIK AHMAD The post-2018 order is an exciting time of possibilities for Malaysia. For the country’s Malay community to face new challenges of the 21st century and thrive, it has to look forward and forge ahead in a progressive manner. In this updated edition of Moving Forward, Nik Nazmi pushes for a paradigm that is comfortable with diversity and democracy. With the world changing and new problems to confront, Malaysia is brought to a crossroads. The choice is clear: a limbo of mediocrity with eventual decline looming, or to move forward “In search of answers to educationally, economically, politically and socially. the questions concerning Malays and Malayness, This edition of Moving Forward includes a new preface and postscript this young writer breaks to reflect on what Malaysians have achieved and cast an eye on the free from the stereotypical challenges that lie ahead. FORWARD MOVING mindsets that have plagued the discourse. This is the voice of conscience of a young Malay progressive. “Nik Nazmi represents a refreshing brand of Malay politics: ” middle-of-the-road, confident, unafraid and bold.” – Anwar Ibrahim – Karim Raslan, CEO of the KRA Group “Nik Nazmi is a refreshing voice. He has some profound observations and perspectives that belie his age and political youth.” – M. Bakri Musa, author of The Malay Dilemma Revisited Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad read law at King’s College London before becoming private secretary to Anwar Ibrahim. In the 2008 general election, he was the youngest elected representative when he won the Seri Setia state seat in Selangor. -
Kreativiti, Invensyen Dan Inovasi: Suatu Cadangan Matapelajaran Pada Peringkat Sekolah Menengah
KREATIVITI, INVENSYEN DAN INOVASI: SUATU CADANGAN MATAPELAJARAN PADA PERINGKAT SEKOLAH MENENGAH Mohd. Azhar Abd. Hamid Sanitah Mohd. Yusuf Esa Khalid Othman A. Kassim Fakulti Pengurusan dan Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Abstrak Kreativiti bukanlah suatu konsep yang bersifat konseptual dan teoritikal. Kreativiti boleh diterjemahkan secara konkrit menerusi produk konkrit. Ia juga boleh diterjemah secara konseptual seperti idea, konsep, metod, teori, hipotesis dan perkhidmatan. Aplikasi kreativiti untuk menghasilkan produk konkrit dan konseptual ini dikenali sebagai invensyen atau rekacipta. Invensyen akan mengalami proses modifikasi, adaptasi dan imitasi secara evolusi dan ia dinamakan inovasi. Inovasi menjadikan kreativiti dan invensyen bernilai dan boleh dipasarkan. Sasaran inovasi adalah kepada pengguna. Tarikan pasaran iaitu permintaan dan penawaran akan menjadikan inovasi suatu yang bersifat dinamik. Tidak hairanlah Guru dalam pengurusan dan pemasaran, Peter Drucker (1998) dalam bukunya On The Proffession of Management menyatakan bahawa persaingan pada abad ini memerlukan kreativiti dan inovasi sebagai kemampuan sesebuah organisasi untuk berjaya dan berdaya saing dalam dunia globalisasi. Malah kreativiti, invensyen dan inovasi amat penting kepada mana-mana organisasi dan negara di dunia untuk terus survive dan berdaya maju pada peringkat dunia. Justeru itu, dalam kepesatan ekonomi kreatif, invensyen dan inovasi harus diberi penekanan menyeluruh sejak di bangku sekolah lagi agar, Malaysia khususnya dapat bersaing -
Time Not Right for Hudud, Says Khalid Ibrahim Malaysian Insider April 24,2013 by Amin Iskandar
Time not right for hudud, says Khalid Ibrahim Malaysian Insider April 24,2013 By Amin Iskandar SHAH ALAM, April 24 ― Hudud law cannot be implemented in multi-racial Malaysia currently because the Federal Constitution bars it, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said today. The caretaker Selangor mentri besar said that although the controversial Islamic penal code was accepted as a principle of Islamic administration, its execution was precluded by the constitutional safeguards afforded to Malaysia’s various ethnic groups. “We must accept the fact that in Islam, hudud is accepted as part of Islamic administration,” Khalid (picture) told reporters at the Selangor exco housing here today. “But I feel that it cannot be implemented in the current circumstances,” he added. Khalid stressed that the consensus of the people must be obtained before hudud could be implemented, saying: “The implementation of hudud, which goes beyond what is determined in the constitution, needs to get the approval of all Malaysians.” PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said last November at the party’s 58th annual conference that it may never entirely abandon its plans to impose hudud for Muslims, but had only softened its approach as the Islamist party knew it could not rule without its non-Muslim allies in Pakatan Rakyat (PR). MCA-owned English daily The Star ran full-page advertisements recently ahead of Election 2013, warning Malaysians that a vote for the DAP was a vote for PAS. Malay daily Utusan Malaysia reported PAS deputy spiritual leader Datuk Dr Haron Din today as saying that the Islamist party was confident that the DAP would accept hudud law because it was willing to contest in the May 5 polls using the PAS logo. -

Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) is committed to defending and campaigning for human rights in Malaysia and other parts of the world.

Since then, it has evolved into the leading human rights organisation in Malaysia, committed to protecting, preserving and promoting human rights.

When he first came to power in 2009, Najib Razak introduced several reforms in an attempt to win back votes after the fiasco for the ruling coalition in the 2008 general election. This attempt at reform has been reversed after yet another debacle for BN in the 2013 general election, epitomized by the about-turn decision on the promise to repeal the Sedition Act, with the Prime Minister seemingly bowing down to demands of extremist groups for his own political survival and bent on teaching dissenting voters a lesson.
