    February 11, 2016 The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, As members of parliament from Southeast Asia, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, we write to express our desire for you to make discussion of human rights and the democratic aspirations of the people of ASEAN a priority during the upcoming summit at the Sunnylands estate in California on 15-16 February 2016. As you are surely aware, democracy is struggling in Southeast Asia. Many countries in our region have taken dramatic steps backward in the past two years. While Southeast Asia appeared to be on the cusp of a genuine political transformation only a few years ago, more recently the region has instead witnessed military takeovers, the rollback of fundamental rights, intensifying government-sponsored discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the increasing persecution of activists and opposition voices, including fellow parliamentarians. These setbacks constitute a fundamental threat to the future of the ASEAN Community and the US relationship with it. While we recognize and understand your administration’s desire to strengthen trade and security cooperation with Southeast Asian governments, we urge you to proceed with caution. Human rights, democracy, and basic dignity cannot take a backseat to economic or security prerogatives. Open dialogue on fundamental political and rights-based questions is vital to ensuring the sustainability of bilateral relationships and promoting broad-based benefits of trans-Pacific cooperation. When you sit down with ASEAN leaders in California, we urge you to press them on unfulfilled human rights commitments and to directly raise specific concerns with them.

  • Saiful Says Father 'Influenced' Into Apologising to Anwar Malaysian
    Saiful says father ‘influenced’ into apologising to Anwar Malaysian Insider May 2,2013 By Md Izwan PETALING JAYA, May 2 ― In an anticipated move, Saiful Bukhari claimed his father Azlan Mohd Lazim was swayed into apologising to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after the latter retracted his apology and maintained that his son’s sodomy complaint against the opposition leader was not a plot. Saiful (picture) also claimed to have sworn on the Quran for the second time, this time in before the Kaabah in the Muslim holy land of Mecca, to back his allegation that he was sodomised by the PKR de facto leader. The former aide Anwar said it was clear that his father was persuaded by PKR to make the public apology because the leader who arranged the closed-door press conference on March 8 was one of the party’s top leaders, Datuk Johari Abdul. “Is it not clear that the individual who arranged the closed-door press conference was PKR leader Datuk Johari. “I do not know who instigated my father but it is obvious that the party leader is close to my father,” Saiful told a press conference at The Club, in Bandar Utama here. Azlan claimed yesterday that “certain quarters” had influenced him to apologise to Anwar and say it was a political conspiracy in a closed-door press conference last March 8. “Today, I retract my apology to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and stress that my son’s sodomy case is true. “It isn’t a political conspiracy,” he told a press conference at a hotel in Kajang, adding he will now quit PKR.

Mr. Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General of the United Nations United Nations New York, NY 10017, U.S.A Fax: 1(212) 963 2155, 1(212) 963 1185 Via facsimile Your Excellencies, On behalf of 442 Members of Parliament from 29 countries around the world, we are writing to urge the United Nations Security Council to launch an investigation into crimes against humanity committed by the military regime in Burma (Myanmar) and to impose a global arms embargo on that regime. Such action is long overdue. Burma’s military regime has carried out brutal attacks on its own people for decades. According to the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), a humanitarian agency providing aid to Burmese refugees and displaced persons for 25 years, through these attacks, the regime has destroyed over 3,500 ethnic minority villages in eastern Burma since 1996. Here, at least 75,000 people were forced to leave their homes during this past year alone, and more than half a million people remain internally displaced. TBBC has described the situation in Burma as being comparable to the situation in Darfur. Furthermore, these crimes against humanity in Burma are well documented by various UN bodies, although none of them have taken effective action.

  • Pakatan Belum Utus Surat Kepada Agong Malaysiakini.Com Sept 23, 2008 Jimadie Shah Othman
    Pakatan belum utus surat kepada Agong Malaysiakini.com Sept 23, 2008 Jimadie Shah Othman Pakatan Rakyat belum mengutus surat kepada Istana Negara bagi menghadap Yang di-Pertuan Agong untuk menyerahkan senarai nama ahli parlimen BN yang menyokong gabungan pembangkang sebelum membentuk kerajaan baru. Anggota sekretariat Pakatan Rakyat, Johari Abdul yang diberi tanggungjawab menyerahkan surat itu berkata, beliau sedang menunggu arahan untuk berbuat demikian. Beliau yang juga ahli parlimen Sungai Petani menambah, apabila ketiga-tiga pemimpin tertinggi PKR, DAP dan PAS memberikan arahan, beliau akan menghantarnya. Johari berkata, beliau bagaimanapun tidak mengetahui isu kandungan surat itu. “Saya cuma tukang hantar, orang suruh hantar saya hantar,” kata bekas ketua perhubungan PKR Kedah kepada Malaysiakini hari ini. Mengulas sama ada surat kepada baginda menjadi sebahagian starategi Pakatan untuk mengambil alih pentadbiran daripada kerajaan BN, Johari berkata: “Ada sebab kita letakkan 23 September (sebagai tarikh akhir untuk panggil sidang khas parlimen). "Kalau (perdana menteri) Datuk Seri Abdullah (Ahmad Badawi) gagal – hari ini sudah berakhir – kita ada strategi selepas 23 September. Kita ada rancangan.” Ketua penerangan PKR Tian Chua ketika dihubungi enggan mengulas lanjut perkara itu. Tambahnya, tidak ada pemimpin Pakatan yang bercakap tentang perkara itu dan "persoalan ini tidak wujud." Mereka diminta mengesahkan kenyataan ahli jawatankuasa pusat PAS Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa yang dilaporkan menyebut Pakatan Rakyat telah mengutuskan surat rasmi bagi memohon mengadap Seri Paduka minggu lepas. Beliau yang juga ahli parlimen Parit Buntar berkata, Pakatan Rakyat bergantung kepada Istana Negara untuk menasihatkan perdana menteri supaya memanggil sidang khas Parlimen untuk berdepan dengan usul tidak percaya yang mahu dibentangkan oleh pembangkang.
