Adib’s case: Tommy Thomas should not manipulate facts

Administrator

05 Feb 2021326 Views0

MACSA and PPMM view the writing by former Attorney-General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas, regarding the series of incidents that resulted in the death of the late Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim as manipulating the actual facts established by the Shah Alam Coroner's Court on September 27, 2019. Thomas in his memoir 'My Story: Justice in the Wilderness' has said, among other things, that: i. The injuries suffered by Adib was when the fire engine was reversing, "pushing backward the vehicle Adib was travelling in. Adib was apparently trying to reenter his car when he was pinned down. It was therefore an accident". ii. the findings of coroner Rofiah Mohamad are extraordinary because the police have informed Thomas that the possibility of foul play has been set aside as the cause of Adib's death. ...

Gabungan Pertubuhan Masyarakat Sivil Malaysia bagi Proses Semakan Berkala Sejagat (MACSA) dan Persatuan Peguam Muslim Malaysia (PPMM) memandang penularan penulisan oleh bekas Peguam Negara, Tan Sri Tommy Thomas, berkenaan dengan rentetan insiden yang mengakibatkan kematian Allahyarham Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim sebagai sesuatu yang menyeleweng dan terpesong daripada fakta sebenar yang telah diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Koroner Shah Alam pada 27 September 2019. Tan Sri Tommy Thomas dalam buku memoirnya ‘My Story: Justice in the Wilderness’ telah mengatakan, antara lain, kononnya: Kecederaan Adib adalah diakibatkan pengunduran kenderaan Bomba dan kenderaan yang dinaiki Adib. Adib dilihat cuba memasuki kenderaannya dan ketika itulah beliau dihimpit (“pinned down”). Maka ia tidak disengajakan...

MACSA supports Tightening of Legislation in Strengthening The Family Values

MACSA heartily thank Ahmad Marzuk Shaary, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, for his valuable feedback regarding the gaps in Syariah legislation pertaining to ‘transgenders’. His two recommendations, to tighten legislation in view of preventing disruptive behaviour, are on point and very much welcomed. His feedback was given as a response to the recent fiasco involving Muhammad Sajjad Kamaruz Zaman, popularly known as Sajat, who was recently charged under Section 10(a) of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Selangor) 1995 for dressing as a female at a religious event. It is obvious that a tougher law is needed to prevent these infringements from continuing as this is not the first time the social media influencer has committed this offence. Earlier last ye...

Percepat Akta Gangguan Seksual – Nur Farihah Meor Mazli

Administrator

15 Jan 2021318 Views0

PERIBAHASA ‘kerbau dipegang talinya, manusia dipegang janjinya’ bagai tidak membawa apa-apa makna kepada penggubal undang-undang yang masih teragak-agak untuk meluluskan Rang Undang-Undang (RUU) Gangguan Seksual. Tahun 2020 yang seharusnya melihatkan pembentangan terperinci mengenai Akta tersebut menjadi tergendala akibat kemelut politik yang tiada penghujung ditambah pula penangguhan persidangan berikutan bencana Covid-19. Apa lagi rakyat mahu harapkan daripada mereka di tampuk kepimpinan selepas bertahun lama aktivis kemanusiaan lantang memperkatakan tentang kekurangan peruntukan khas namun tiada tanda persetujuan dari pihak Menteri? Penulis yakin dan pasti bahawa percambahan kes gangguan seksual baik secara fizikal, lisan dan bukan lisan serta psikologi adalah disebabkan oleh ket...

The US democratic institutions need to be reformed

Administrator

09 Jan 2021282 Views0

The Malaysian Alliance of Civil Society Organisations in the UPR Process (MACSA) views developments in the US with great alarm. For a democracy to thrive, it's imperative that an election be conducted in a fair and transparent manner, the election result be valid and accepted by all and a peaceful transfer of power to the eventual winner ensues and be respected. As at the date hereof, notwithstanding President's Trump disagreement with the election result, it is a relief to the rest of the world that Trump has come out publicly stating he will honour a peaceful transfer of power. We hope with the many in America and around the world, that President Biden's swearing in on the 20th proceeds smoothly without much untoward incident. Unfortunately the events enveloping in the US for the p...

Usul naikkan bantuan JKM munasabah (Berita Harian 31 Ogos 2020)

Administrator

31 Aug 2020323 Views0

KUALA LUMPUR: Syor menaikkan bantuan bulanan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (JKM) kepada RM1,000 sangat berasas khususnya bagi masyarakat miskin bandar. Presiden Pertubuhan Pembangunan dan Inovasi Wanita Malaysia (WADI Malaysia), Sukmamurni Abdul Manaf, berkata usul Perdana Menteri itu sangat dialu-alukan kerana ia sejajar kenaikan Pendapatan Garis Kemiskinan (PGK) pada Julai lalu. "Umum mengetahui kadar bantuan JKM sedia ada adalah sangat tidak munasabah terutama bagi penerima yang menetap di bandar. "Keputusan ini sangat dialu-alukan kerana ia seiring dengan pengumuman PGK dari RM980 yang dinaikkan kepada RM2,208. "Ini menunjukkan iltizam politik daripada pemimpin untuk membuat keputusan yang sukar tetapi mustahak," katanya ketika dihubungi BH, di sini, hari ini. Sukmamurni

03 Dec 2019366 Views0

DECEMBER 3 is observed worldwide every year as International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilise support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. Even though the Malaysian government has affirmed its commitment to respect the vulnerable PWD group, there is still much groundwork to be covered by our country in ensuring that PWD are accorded their due rights. Malaysia signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) on April 8,2008 and ratified it on July 19,2010. The provisions and ...
