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”.
