The conduct of our Executive and Legislative arms of government cannot escape the scrutiny of the Judiciary.

Edmund Bon, Representative of Malaysia to AICHR, said that it is time for AICHR to step up its efforts to advance its protection mandate. He added that AICHR’s Representatives must be bold, and hold fast to their terms of work to be independent yet consultative.
Edmund Bon urged AICHR to establish a procedure to respond to communications, consistent with ASEAN principles of unity, centrality and non-interference. He offered Malaysia’s services to draft a proposal to operationalise AICHR’s communications procedure for AICHR’s consideration.
AICHR sedang giat menggalakkan Negara-Negara Anggota ASEAN untuk meratifikasikan triti-triti antarabangsa berkenaan hak asasi manusia, dan membina pendekatan bersama berkenaan hal-hal hak asasi manusia yang berkepentingan kepada ASEAN.
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 country is lurching from crisis to crisis.
Jika kita berganding bahu, rakyat Malaysia boleh mencapai jauh lebih banyak.
Vote, give feedback, get involved. Young lawyers with a longer runway have a bigger stake in shaping our shared future.
Why do strategic litigation? Edmund calls on young lawyers to “build a just society where each individual can live with dignity and without fear”.

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 young lawyers continue to be the conscience of the Bar.
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?
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.
A no-holds-barred critique of the judiciary and the Bar Council.
