Our Federal Constitution provides a rights-based framework regarding life and liberty, movement, speech, assembly, association, religion, property, and others.

We must open new channels of constructive communication, and embrace a shared vision of purpose and progress.

In January 2004, a 5–member panel of the Federal Court struck down a revolutionary COA decision. By affirming the constitutionality of section 72 of the Danaharta act, which provides that the courts cannot give an order to restrain the powers or actions of Danaharta Urus Sdn Bhd, the Judiciary also affirmed its impotence. If the Judiciary is not willing to protect the people, who is left to save us?
