SUHAKAM: Education, Promotion and Publicity* SUHAKAM: Education, Promotion and Publicity* SUHAKAM he Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (suhakam) has come a long way since its founding. It has made huge strides in improving the human rights situation in Malaysia, always working Twith the Government, ministries, Civil Society Organizations and activists to further its goals. Suhakam will continue to carry out its work diligently and purposefully to achieve its vision of a “Malaysian society where human rights are fully respected, protected and enjoyed equally by all” in the not too distant future. Human Rights Education The ultimate purpose of human rights education is to empower the peo- ple with human rights knowledge so as to ensure the protection, respect and fulfilment of human rights of every individual. Recognizing the im- portance of human rights education, suhakam through its Education and Training Division conducted several human rights education and training programs. suhakam collaborated with local and international organiza- tions such as the Judicial and Legal Training Institute (ilkap), Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (unhcr) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization unesco( ) to or- ganize programs during the year. Suhakam also expanded its target group to include the Immigration Department, National Anti-Drug Agency, par- liamentarians and private entities. In 2018, University Utara Malaysia, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with suhakam to undertake several joint programs pertaining to human rights and education. To further realize suhakam’s vision for human rights education to be taught in schools by 2020, su- hakam organized several strategic meetings with key actors in educa- tion. Suhakam met with Education Minister YB Dr. Maszlee Malik on 11 December 2018, Deputy Minister of Education YB Teo Nie Ching on 22 October and Director General of Education Datuk Dr. Amin Senin on 25 Human Rights Education in Asia-Pacific | Volume 9, 2019 HURIGHTS OSAKA 171 172 HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION IN ASIA-PACIFIC · VOLUME 9, 2019 June. suhakam briefed them on suhakam’s Human Rights Best Practices in School Programme (atham) and Human Rights Modules for post-Pri- mary School Achievement Test (UPSR) and post-Form 3 Assessment (PT3) students. Suhakam’s idea to introduce human rights education in schools was well-received. Suhakam was requested to cooperate with the Ministry of Education (moe) to develop a human rights training module for the Teachers Training Institute and to give its input on human rights education to moe’s Curriculum Division. In order to gauge how well its training sessions were conducted and the level of knowledge the participants gained, suhakam introduced a more structured evaluation using an online form as well as a pre- and post-tests approach. Human rights modules for post-UPSR and PT3 students As highlighted in the 2017 Annual Report, suhakam completed two human rights modules for post-upsr and post-PT3 students in June 2018. Each module contains thirty activities. The objective was to educate stu- dents in primary and secondary schools on human rights through fun ac- tivities. Though the modules were developed for Standard 6 and Form 3 students, who would have had more free time in school after their upsr and PT3 examinations and before the school break at the end of the year, the activities are suitable for all primary and secondary students irrespective of their standard and form. Suhakam appreciates the contributions of moe officers as well as teachers from several schools in finalizing the modules during the two workshops which were held on 3 May and 28 June 2018, respectively. Following the completion of the modules, suhakam organized three Training of Trainers (tot) sessions to ensure that the teachers from atham schools could carry out the activities, as well as equip them with sufficient knowledge of human rights, particularly on the rights of the child. About sixty-two secondary school teachers and fifty-one primary school teachers attended the tot, see Table 1. Although the moe did not make the modules compulsory, it was in- teresting to note that several schools, among others, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (smk) Sentul, smk Gombak Setia and smk Taman Seri Kluang, carried out the activities with their students this year. Suhakam also dis- tributed compact discs of the modules to all atham schools to encourage them to utilize the modules. SUHAKAM: Education, Promotion and Publicity 173 Table 1.

Moving forward, suhakam plans to publish and distribute the modules to all atham schools in hardcopy; expand tots to other atham and non- atham schools; and develop a mechanism to monitor the implementation of the activities in schools in the next two years to ensure that the objective of introducing the modules has been met. Awareness program on a Child’s Right to Safety Due to the good feedback from twelve mara Junior Science Colleges (mjscs) on the Child’s Right to Safety Awareness Program last year, su- hakam organized a similar program at another ten mjscs during the year, 174 HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION IN ASIA-PACIFIC · VOLUME 9, 2019 which involved about 5,000 students, as well as follow-up programs at a few mjscs that were visited in the previous years. During the year under review, programs were held in the following mjscs: Table 2. No. Location Date 1. Jeli MJSC, Kelantan 10 March 2. Kota Putra MJSC, Terengganu 9 April 3.

Pengkalan Chepa MJSC, Kelantan 3 September The follow-up program was basically a continuation of the introductory program in which the students were divided into small groups and asked to prepare a chart based on one of the following themes: 1. What has your school done (activities or programs) to educate the students on bullying? 2. Senior vs Junior, who normally does the bullying? And how to over- come bullying from always taking place? As suhakam has conducted the program at all mjscs nationwide over the past three years, suhakam plans to shift focus to atham schools next year.

Apart from raising the awareness of the newly elected Members of Parliament (MPs) on international standards with re- gards to freedom of expression, freedom of information and press freedom, the roundtable also served as an opportunity for lawmakers to have an in- depth discussion with local and international experts in order to identify the weaknesses of domestic laws with a view to narrowing the gap with interna- tional standards.

Kajian ini juga dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti segala kelemahan-kelemahan yang perlu diperbaiki sepanjang proses pembelajaran serta mempertingkatkan kualiti kursus dalam bidang undang-undang. Berdasarkan keputusan ujian penilaian asas undang-undang yang di jalankan terhadap pelatih-pelatih kursus asas konstabel pada Jan 2020, saya dapati keputusan tersebut tidak mencapai tahap yang memuaskan. Melalui kajian ini saya dapat merumuskan, terdapat beberapa kelemahan yang diperolehi sepanjang proses pembelajaran. PDRM perlu merangka beberapa kaedah yang boleh memperbaiki segala kelemahan yang terdapat semasa proses pembelajaran tersebut. Proses pembelajaran asas undang-undang ini disampaikan dengan menggunakan bahasa Melayu kepada pelatih-pelatih konstabel yang berlatar belakangkan pelbagai kaum. Yang pastinya, pengguanan bahasa Melayu bukan menjadi satu punca kepada kelemahan dalam proses pembelajaran undang-undang tersebut.

  • 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.
