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

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

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

Talk about SUARAM and me outside Parliament if you dare

Amer Hamzah Arshad demanded that MP Wee Choo Keong and the media retract the allegations and the stories thereon against him and SUARAM, or that Wee repeats the same outside Parliament and for the press to report them.

Fighting for those who cannot speak up

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.
