Media Report that Undermines Malaysia’s Sovereignty

09 Jul 2020284 Views0

MACSA follows the polemic recently panning out in the media with regard to the mass detentions of undocumented migrants, including refugees with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) Registration Card. There appears to be a major confusion in the public domain on the status of refugee leading to unwarranted prejudice and derision against the refugee community. The public have been misled by the inability of our mass media to distinguish between illegal immigrants entering the country for economic motivations with refugees who enter illegally to escape persecutions in their homeland and this has resulted in an erroneous demand of similar treatment. For illegal immigrants seeking economic recompense, MACSA fully acknowledge the right of the state to detain and deport th...

Defining Liberal Fascists Let’s be clear. Being Leftist does not inoculate you from behaving like a Fascist; just as authoritarianism is not the exclusive vice of the Right Wing. The Nazis, after all, were Socialist and lest we forget, Joseph “Dictator” Stalin and Chairman Mao Zedong were Communists, while Francisco “Fascist” Franco in Spain was, in fact, a Left Wing Socialist. The most archetypal examples of Totalitarianism in the 20th Century were incarnated by Left Wing ideologues and simply, using Liberal jargon with the aim to appeal to compassion and tolerance in order for you to advance a deeply authoritarian agenda does not make that agenda less offensive. What makes a movement Fascist is the degree, to which it does not accept dissent, its refusal to tolerate other opinio

Political correctness has revealed itself in the West to have been a liberal Trojan horse carrying a battalion of neo-Fascists in its belly, who emerge at the slightest perceived offence. They triumph at browbeating any and every differing opinion into silence. Not surprisingly, this Trojan horse has begun to appear in Malaysia over the last few years, using many of the same tactics adopted in the West. They promote “tolerance” for “alternative lifestyles” or for “marginalised people;” usually referring to homosexuals and transgender individuals. But this “tolerance” means, in practice, compelled speech (forcing people to use particular gender neutral pronouns, etc), suspension of legitimate debate (over definitions of gender, for example) by classifying it as “hate speech,” and g...

10 Disember adalah Hari Hak Asasi Manusia, bersempena tanggal 10 Disember 1948 apabila Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) menerima pakai dan mengisytihar Deklarasi Sejagat Hak Asasi Manusia (UDHR), deklarasi pertama menyentuh hak asas seorang manusia. Cuma, dalam menentukan hak asasi manusia, adakalanya UDHR gagal mengambil kira konteks keagamaan dan budaya setempat dalam peradaban manusia, khususnya peradaban Islam. Malaysia tidak terkecuali apabila beberapa artikel UDHR bercanggah dengan Perlembagaan Malaysia dan syariat Islam. Antara Julai hingga September 2017, Kementerian Luar (Wisma Putra) mengadakan rundingan bersama pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) bagi menerokai isu hak asasi manusia di Malaysia. Amalan hak asasi manusia di Malaysia mendapat sorotan berikutan pembabitan M...

Between July and September 2017, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia (Wisma Putra) held consultations with several local civil society organisations (CSOs) primarily to explore a variety of human rights concerns in Malaysia. Human rights practices in the country had come under scrutiny following Malaysia’s participation in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), a process for regularly evaluating the human rights practices of UN members initiated by the UN General Assembly in 2006. Throughout the consultative sessions, the progress and implementation of human rights measures in Malaysia were discussed and the various CSOs in question were encouraged to be forthright about their concerns and to identify current and future challenges. We laud and thank the Malaysian government for i...
