A modest proposal: A call for Malaysia to sign on to the ICESCR

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”.
LoyarBurok | Three million new voters had registered for GE13 — and they could tip the balance of power.
On the occasion of MyConstitution’s 3rd anniversary, LoyarBurok reproduced the Welcome Speech by Edmund Bon.
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.
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 LoyarBurok Defence Team called on lawyers and pupils to join “Team100″ to defend the Bar Council and MyConstitution campaigners in court.
Wujudnya pemikiran di kalangan rakyat Malaysia bahawa Perlembagaan Malaysia adalah isu undang-undang yang hanya perlu diketahui oleh ahli politik, peguam, dan hakim, dan tidak menyentuh kehidupan seharian mereka. Ini adalah persepsi yang salah dan perlu diubah.
Lirik lagu yang ditulis oleh Amer Hamzah Arshad untuk memperjuangkan hak asasi mereka yang ditahan di bawah undang-undang ISA.
The young lawyers continue to be the conscience of the Bar.
Many have expressed views, comments, and disgust on the Bar website pertaining to the VK Lingam video. What else can be done?
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.
