Press Statement by H.E. Mr. Edmund Bon Tai Soon, Representative of Malaysia to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) on the occasion of Malaysia Day

Edmund Bon September 17, 2016

Our Federal Constitution provides a rights-based framework regarding life and liberty, movement, speech, assembly, association, religion, property, and others. In charting our shared future together, the Constitution and the AHRD serve to aid us in navigating the emerging challenges. We must open new channels of constructive communication, and embrace a shared vision of purpose and progress.

The BON con: A call to action

Edmund Bon October 7, 2015

Why do strategic litigation? Edmund calls on young lawyers to “build a just society where each individual can live with dignity and without fear”.

Fighting for those who cannot speak up

Edmund Bon May 22, 2012

Police brutality is a violation of a human right. An injustice perpetrated by even one from an institution set up to serve the cause of justice deserves the harshest condemnation. There cannot be any restraint in condemning abuse of power.

The God–provision

Amer Hamzah, Edmund Bon, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad and Fahri Azzat May 19, 2005

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?

A clarion call for young lawyers

Edmund Bon December 16, 2004

Once we realise that change is within us, the power to change is within reach and we can take action to change things; only then will we start living our lives a little bit more, and hopefully, with less fear.
