Today is Human Rights Day!

This is Human Rights Day celebration - Malaysian Style..

Those overseas (including non-Malaysians), those sleeping, those who doesn’t care
(time to start caring) those not reading news, those who has been busy with life-work
or something else.. This was what happened over the weekend.

I’ve got this video off the same link above from Bar Council website.
Hope they don’t mind.

I will take it down if it is against your policy.

Under Article No 9 (Prohibition of banishment and freedom of movement) of our Federal Constitution under Part II (Fundamental Liberties),

Article 9, Clause(2)
Subject to Clause (3) and to any law relating to the security of the Federation or any part thereof, public order, public health, or the punishment of offenders, every citizen has the right to move freely throughout the Federation and to reside in any part thereof.

Article 9, Clause(3)
So long as under this Constitution any other State is in the special position as compared with the States of Malaya, Parliament may by law impose restrictions, as between that State and other States, on the rights conferred by Clause (2) in respect of movement and residence.

But it is sad that even though in Article 9, it states that we can practice freedom of movement we are still governed by Parliament and still can’t practice freedom of movement.

Article 10 (Freedom of speech, assembly and association) states

Article 10, Clause (1)
Subject to Clauses (2), (3) and (4) -
(a) every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression;
(b) every citizen have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms;
(c) all citizens have the right to form association.

This give us the basic rights to be in the position of freedom of speech and assembly.

Article 10, Clause (2)
Parliament may by law impose -
(a) on the rights conferred by paragraph (a) of Clause (1), such restrictions as it deems necessary or expedient in the interest of the security of the Federation or any part thereof, friendly relations with other countries, public order or morality and restrictions designed to protect the privileges of Parliament or of any Legislative Assembly or to provide against contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to any offence;
(b) on the right conferred by paragraph (b) of Clause (1), such restrictions as it deems necessary or expedient in the interest of the security of the Federation or any part thereof or public order;
(c) on the right conferred by paragraph (c) of Clause (1), such restrictions as it deems necessary or expedient in the interest of the security of the Federation or any part thereof, public disorder or morality.

This gives the government to stop you from doing so otherwise.
I’m lost in this.. someone care to help? It doesn’t make sense.

But, for a peaceful march, the police thinks that it may cause any problems in the
interest of security or public order?

50 years of independence must be a joke for Malaysia. Was this constitution created
with the help of the British when they were here while we proclaim independence? If it
is, I guess it is timely enough for us to start a movement called Malaysian Rights Action Force (MARAF) and claim our Malaysians’ misfortune in Human Rights and shall seek
RM50 Trillion in compensation! (in commemorative of 50th independence year -__-)

Oh wells… so much for a Human Rights Day eh?…
