The Business Standard | Lawyer of former Bangladeshi High Commissioner, Edmund Bon, brought up the issue of immigration officers deporting Myanmar detainees last year, despite a court order barring the government from doing so. “I hope the immigration (department) doesn’t take matters into their own hands,” Edmund said.

Free Malaysia Today | In granting former Bangladeshi Ambassador Mohamed Khairuzzaman’s application for an interim order against deportation, High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said: “I don’t want to hear that he has been deported against this court order that I have granted.” Khairuzzaman’s lawyer, Edmund Bon, had brought up the deportation of Myanmar detainees last year despite a court order.
Malaysiakini | Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan allowed Mohamed Khairuzzaman’s interim stay application against deportation following lawyer Edmund Bon saying there was a risk of his client being deported at any time.

Bernama | Merujuk kes ibu kepada anak berstatus warga asing terpaksa berhati-hati melayani kerenah suaminya yang juga warga asing, peguam Edmund Bon berkata masalah besar perkahwinan pasangan berlainan warganegara ialah penceraian dan hak penjagaan anak. Jike kerakyatan ibu dan anak berbeza, ibu mungkin tidak dibenarkan menetap di negara yang sama jika berlaku penceraian.
Malay Mail | Human rights lawyer Edmund Bon said, with binational marriage and divorce, “citizenship plays quite an important role in how the courts decide (custody)”. Citizenship also involves the right to reside; should the mother and child have different nationalities, women may feel they have no choice but to stay in bad marriages so as not to lose custody of their child.
These proposed amendments to the ATIPSOM should be seriously considered if the government is committed to transforming the human rights protection landscape for victims and survivors of trafficking, smuggling, and forced labour in our country.
The Bar Council should be transparent on the LexisNexis story.
Action to prevent or avert serious harm to the environment should be taken now and immediately.
The Malaysian National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights cannot fall below what we already have, but must aspire to fulfil what we ought to have.

The Star | Edmund Bon observed that the PM need not resign now, unless he sought to dissolve Parliament for elections and the King disagreed, or if an MP stepped forward claiming majority and the King agreed. A new PM with majority support can be appointed regardless of whether the incumbent PM has resigned, according to the Federal Court decision in 2010 related to the Perak constitutional crisis.
New Straits Times | The country’s political conundrum will remain at a stalemate unless any MP can prove that he or she has majority support and is accepted by the King. Edmund Bon urged MPs to demand more reforms from the embattled PM.
Malaysiakini | Lawyer New Sin Yew opined that emergency ordinances can only be revoked if the Agong revokes it and a gazette is published, or both Parliament houses vote to annul it. He questioned if the revocation was valid and if Takiyuddin “misled” the Dewan Rakyat with his announcement.
