US Congress, Stand with Malaysians, Not Our Corrupt Government
November 28, 2016 US Congress, Stand with Malaysians, Not Our Corrupt Government By Nurul Izzah Anwar Earlier this month, tens of thousands of Malaysians took to the streets to demand free and fair elections and the end of status quo's endemic corruption. While our demands are not new, our protest demonstrated the remarkable fortitude of the Malaysian people in the face of mounting oppression by Prime Minister Najib Razak. In an attempt to prevent the rally, Najib took a page out of the dictator’s playbook and ordered the preemptive arrest of 11 opposition organizers. One of those detained is well known Malaysian activist, Maria Chin Abdullah, the 60-year-old chairwoman of the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih). She remains in solitary confinement under the draconian Security Offences Act — catering to hardcore terrorists, which vaguely criminalizes activities “contrary to parliamentary democracy.” Amnesty International has already designated those arrested as prisoners of conscience who must be released immediately and unconditionally. Abdullah joins my father, former Deputy Prime Minister and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, as one of many political prisoners in Malaysia. Currently imprisoned on politically-motivated charges, Anwar posed a threat to the ruling regime when he championed a multi-ethnic and multi-religious opposition movement that garnered 52 percent of the votes in the 2013 parliamentary election — a victory that was ultimately rendered hollow by the government’s gerrymandering. The United Nations has denounced my father imprisonment as arbitrary and in violation of international law. Dozens more have been targeted, harassed, or imprisoned under the false pretenses of national security simply because they dare to speak out against Najib’s authoritarian tendencies and corrupt practices. -

The War on Terrorism and the Internal Security Act of Singapore
Damien Cheong ____________________________________________________________ Selling Security: The War on Terrorism and the Internal Security Act of Singapore DAMIEN CHEONG Abstract The Internal Security Act (ISA) of Singapore has been transformed from a se- curity law into an effective political instrument of the Singapore government. Although the government's use of the ISA for political purposes elicited negative reactions from the public, it was not prepared to abolish, or make amendments to the Act. In the wake of September 11 and the international campaign against terrorism, the opportunity to (re)legitimize the government's use of the ISA emerged. This paper argues that despite the ISA's seeming importance in the fight against terrorism, the absence of explicit definitions of national security threats, either in the Act itself, or in accompanying legislation, renders the ISA susceptible to political misuse. Keywords: Internal Security Act, War on Terrorism. People's Action Party, Jemaah Islamiyah. Introduction In 2001/2002, the Singapore government arrested and detained several Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) operatives under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for engaging in terrorist activities. It was alleged that the detained operatives were planning to attack local and foreign targets in Singa- pore. The arrests outraged human rights groups, as the operation was reminiscent of the government's crackdown on several alleged Marxist conspirators in1987. Human rights advocates were concerned that the current detainees would be dissuaded from seeking legal counsel and subjected to ill treatment during their period of incarceration (Tang 1989: 4-7; Frank et al. 1991: 5-99). Despite these protests, many Singaporeans expressed their strong support for the government's actions. -
4 Comparative Law and Constitutional Interpretation in Singapore: Insights from Constitutional Theory 114 ARUN K THIRUVENGADAM
Evolution of a Revolution Between 1965 and 2005, changes to Singapore’s Constitution were so tremendous as to amount to a revolution. These developments are comprehensively discussed and critically examined for the first time in this edited volume. With its momentous secession from the Federation of Malaysia in 1965, Singapore had the perfect opportunity to craft a popularly-endorsed constitution. Instead, it retained the 1958 State Constitution and augmented it with provisions from the Malaysian Federal Constitution. The decision in favour of stability and gradual change belied the revolutionary changes to Singapore’s Constitution over the next 40 years, transforming its erstwhile Westminster-style constitution into something quite unique. The Government’s overriding concern with ensuring stability, public order, Asian values and communitarian politics, are not without their setbacks or critics. This collection strives to enrich our understanding of the historical antecedents of the current Constitution and offers a timely retrospective assessment of how history, politics and economics have shaped the Constitution. It is the first collaborative effort by a group of Singapore constitutional law scholars and will be of interest to students and academics from a range of disciplines, including comparative constitutional law, political science, government and Asian studies. Dr Li-ann Thio is Professor of Law at the National University of Singapore where she teaches public international law, constitutional law and human rights law. She is a Nominated Member of Parliament (11th Session). Dr Kevin YL Tan is Director of Equilibrium Consulting Pte Ltd and Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore where he teaches public law and media law. -

A Police State
Headline M'sia won't become a police state: IGP MediaTitle Daily Express (KK) Date 22 Sep 2016 Language English Circulation 25,055 Readership 75,165 Section Nation Color Full Color Page No 2 ArticleSize 162 cm² AdValue RM 835 PR Value RM 2,504 M'sia won't become a police state: IGP SINTOK: The laws and regulations in the coun try that have been around since a long time ago will not make it possible for Malaysia to become a police state as claimed by DAP Sec retaryGeneral Lim Guan Eng. InspectorGeneral of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pic) said such a claim was baseless as the police were also subjected to the laws and regulations as enshrined in the Federal Constitu tion. "Our country can never be a police state because if we flout the laws, action will be taken against us. How can this country be a police state when we are also subjected to the laws and regula tions under the Constitution? So, are the Members of Parlia ment," he said. Khalid was speaking at a press conference after attending the 'Dialogue with IGP: Undergraduates' Role in Overcoming Na tional Security Threats' at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), here, Wednesday. He was responding to Lim's commentary in an online news portal in which he questioned whether the country had turned into a police state, claiming that Khalid was seen as someone who could not be criticised. Lim also claimed that Khalid had arrogantly warned Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching to keep mum after Teo insisted that the police in vestigate immediately the alleged threat received by Bersih 2.0 rally chairman Maria Chin Abdullah. -
A Study on Interruptions by the Chairperson in the Dewan Rakyat
ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PARLIAMENT OF MALAYSIA: A STUDY ON INTERRUPTIONS BY THE CHAIRPERSON IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von Nor Azura binti A Rahman aus Johor, Malaysia Bonn 2021 Gedruckt mit der Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Zusammensetzung der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Stephan Conermann (Vorsitzende/Vorsitzender) Prof. Dr. Christoph Antweiler (Betreuerin/Betreuer und Gutachterin/Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs (Gutachterin/Gutachter) Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26 November 2020 i ABSTRACT The election of the chairman of the House of Representatives, a chamber of the Malaysian parliament, has always been determined by the ruling party. The centralization of executive power has also absorbed the function of the chairman, so that the chairman acts partisanly in parliamentary debates. Also, the chairman has developed into an institution that carries out agenda-setting within the framework of the parliament. This raises the conceptual question of whether legislation in Malaysia is still performed independently by the parliament. The observed patterns require an attempt to re-conceptualize the roles as well as the assigned meaning of various expressions of parliamentary routine, including those that are unwritten and informal, for instance those which can also be termed “subjective forms of rule” at one's own discretion. In my doctoral thesis, I apply an interdisciplinary analytical framework that relates to accountability studies, as well as micro- sociological direct interaction, the interpretations of procedural interactions in conversation, as well as studies of political discretion in parliamentary operations. My main research question asks how the Speaker of Parliament fulfils his responsibilities by disrupting ongoing parliamentary debates. -

Constitutional Documents of All Tcountries in Southeast Asia As of December 2007, As Well As the ASEAN Charter (Vol
his three volume publication includes the constitutional documents of all Tcountries in Southeast Asia as of December 2007, as well as the ASEAN Charter (Vol. I), reports on the national constitutions (Vol. II), and a collection of papers on cross-cutting issues (Vol. III) which were mostly presented at a conference at the end of March 2008. This collection of Constitutional documents and analytical papers provides the reader with a comprehensive insight into the development of Constitutionalism in Southeast Asia. Some of the constitutions have until now not been publicly available in an up to date English language version. But apart from this, it is the first printed edition ever with ten Southeast Asian constitutions next to each other which makes comparative studies much easier. The country reports provide readers with up to date overviews on the different constitutional systems. In these reports, a common structure is used to enable comparisons in the analytical part as well. References and recommendations for further reading will facilitate additional research. Some of these reports are the first ever systematic analysis of those respective constitutions, while others draw on substantial literature on those constitutions. The contributions on selected issues highlight specific topics and cross-cutting issues in more depth. Although not all timely issues can be addressed in such publication, they indicate the range of questions facing the emerging constitutionalism within this fascinating region.

The APPGM-SDG
The APPGM-SDG (All Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia for Sustainable Development Goals): Towards Mainstreaming SDG in Issues and Solutions of Parliamentary Constituencies Danial Mohd Yusof* and Zainal Abidin Sanusi** Abstract This paper looks into the creation of the APPGM (All Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia) in various fields as one of the 14th Malaysian Parliament Reform Agenda. It will explain the origins and rationale of APPG in relation to the need for multilevel and multi-stakeholder engagement over themes and issues with parliament for interaction, documentation, transparency, education and reference. It will then describe the guidelines and rules for the creation of APPGM, and more specifically, the proposal, formation and set up for the APPGM for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) from the meeting minutes of the House Committee of the Dewan Rakyat. This also includes a discussion of the pioneering parliamentary constituencies involved in 2020 and the outcome of research on identified themes and issues mapping, proposed and ongoing project solutions and dynamic partnerships taking place in implementing the program. It will also highlight the favourable decision to continue with the APPGM-SDG and the proposal for the involvement of additional parliamentary constituencies in 2021. The paper will conclude by stating the importance of the APPGM-SDG in advocating and incorporating sustainable development as a practical model for parliamentary constituency issues and solutions. Keywords: Parliamentary Reform, APPGM-SDG, Constituency Issues and Solutions, ESD (Education for Sustainable Development), Multi-stakeholder Engagement * Dr Danial Mohd Yusof is Associate Professor at ISTAC (International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation), IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia).
