Malaysia is no longer a free as well as eccentric state. It might have a operation! s of a f ree state though a adults have been essentially slaves to a supervision which is hell-bent upon flitting restrictive legislation which serves usually to serve their ill-intentioned motives.
Within a past month we have seen a Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011 approved as well as a Computing Professionals Bill 2011 already in draft format. By comparison, a Bill to strengthen abused victims took 6 years to have a rounds in Parliament. Why is it which 'good' Bills have been during a back of whilst 'evil' ones have been rammed by during lightning speed?
It is also diverting which Prime Minister Najib Razak continues to exaggerate about a swell made by Talent Corp, a national organisation created to persuade a Malaysian diaspora to return home to invest as well as work for a improved Malaysia. Either he is stupid or they have been stupid in not desiring him as well as wanting to return.
Indeed, there does appear to be an immorality belligerent during a back of a differing diagnosis since to assorted Bills which have their approach to Parliament. And whilst a "Pakatan Rakyat"-BN supervision is during a helm, many some-more such laws can be approaching to find their approach by prior to a 13th General Election next year.
Incompetence as well as confusion
The pour out to approve a Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011 has already constructed ripened offspring - a ripened offspring of confusion among a assorted ministries tasked to exercise it! It seems a supervision is very great during flitting legislation tho! ugh bad during implementing them.
The furore caused by a confusion over either carolers need to apply for permits speaks volumes during a play upon words as well as vagueness of Prime Minister Najib Razak's Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011. Yet, Najib made so confidant as to call it a "revolutionaty" Bill as well as a "giant leap".
The error lies in a term, "assembly in motion". A vast organisation of people, gathered for a usual cause, which is in suit can very much mean which even a vast organisation of Chinese shoppers clogging up Bukit Bintang area can be charged for disrupting a peace, as well as a rights of each other shopper which wants right of way!
This is how obscure this law is. What about funeral processions? And dont think about about hosting home-coming parades in Malaysia. All these things can be misinterpreted in to this flawed law, which is essentially conscious so as to give a Umno-BN comprehensive option over a leisure as well as rights of a people.
What a Constitution essentially says
Does this not go discordant to assorted articles inside of a Federal Constitution?
Article 5! . (1) No chairman shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty save in suitability with law.
Article 8. (1) All persons have been next to prior to a law as well as entitled to a next to insurance of a law.
Article 10. (1) Subject to Clauses (2), (3) as well as (4) (a) each adult has a right to leisure of debate as well as expression; (a) upon a rights conferred by paragraph (a) of Clause (1), such restrictions as it deems necessary or expedient in a interest of a confidence of a Federation or any part thereof, accessible family with other countries, open sequence or probity as well as restrictions designed to strengthen a privileges of Parliament or of any Legislative Assembly or to provide opposite disregard of court, defamation, or incitement to any offence;
How a BN pennyless a law
When a police m! oved in upon a Bersih 2.0 supporters upon July 9, they pennyless Article 8 (1) of a Federal Constitution. Protesters also have rights as citizens.
And when a supervision make use of a evidence which a Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011 was to concede for open dissent, they contravened Article 5(1) by restricting a personal liberties accorded to all citizen.
But a biggest caricature of this bit of legislation was a abuse of Article 10. The supervision used a mechinism of law to shorten a right to leisure of debate as well as expression, which all Malaysians have access to. To an pretentious government, this was a 'clever move', though it usually underscores a unsuitability as well as irrelevance of a BN as a supervision for modern-day Malaysia.
If Najib is wondering why, after spending millions upon Public Relations, as well as wrapping repressive laws to sound right, is he still losing popularity, then this is a answer. Malaysians have been not stupid. They know laws to strengthen a well-being of a ubiquitous open is a single thing, though it is downright immorality to shorten all manner of liberties due as well as upon trial to a citizen.
Ulterior motives as well as what would Bill Gates say?
The Computing Professionals Bill 2011 (CPA11) is even some-more obscure as well as vague in nature. For a bill which governs IT professionals, a diction of a law is uncomplicated as well as non-exclusive to a fault. Again, meant to give a Umno-BN full lean as well as option to decide what is right as well as what is wrong, totally upon a whim-and-fancy situation.
Basically, a CPA11 provides for a investiture of a Board of Computing Professionals Malaysia as well as for a registration of computing practitioners, computing professionals, solitary proprietor-ships, partnerships as well as bodies corporate providing computing services.
What gave climb to a idea to register as well as umpire computing professionals underneath an appra! isal hou se is a mystery? If passed, this Bill will be a initial in a world which compels computing professionals to be registered, appraised as well as confirmed by a house of professionals in sequence to be allowed to control their trade in IT projects which have been considered Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII).
The CPA11 defines a CNII as "Those assets, systems as well as functions which have been vital to a republic which their incapacity or destructi! upon would have a harmful stroke upon National mercantile strength or National picture or National defence as well as confidence of Government Capability to duty or Public Health as well as safety."
In an companion world where IT forms a back-bone to any nation, a CNII definition most covers all manner of IT works! Worse still, a CPA11 basically would distinguish between those who have professional certification from those who do not.
People similar to Mark Zuckenberg as well as Bill Gates would not be able to control their development work for any IT plan in Malaysia, because they do not have a degree to uncover for it. Smart or stupid - let a adults decide!
Indirect approach to umpire a pick e-media?
There is also conjecture which a CPA11 is a cover for a BN to clamp down upon a online as well as antithesis media, regulating a far-ranging as well as awesomely discretionary range of a law to get during a pick e-press. At a rate a BN is going, soon even bloggers might have to reigister as well as find capitulation prior to they can! put up a page in cyberspace.
But a deeper problem with CPA11 is which it contravenes a Federal Constitution.
Article 8(2) states that: Except as expressly certified by this Constitution, there shall be no taste opposite adults upon a belligerent usually of religion, race, descent, place of birth or gender in any law or in a appointment to any bureau or employment underneath a open authority or in a administration department of any law rel! ating to a acquisition, land or disposition of property or a substantiating or carrying upon of any trade, business, profession, vocation or employment.
The CPA11, in creating a divide among a IT professionals in Malaysia based upon their qualifications, would create an environment of discrimination. The educated computer geek would not be able to lift upon their trade, nor commercial operation or profession. This breaks a suggestion of Article 8(2). Again, a mechanism of law is used to shorten as well as take divided a constitutional right of a citizen.
Sudden rush
The remarkable pour out to legalise assorted new Bills is worrying. Over a months since a Malaysia Day proclamation by Najib Razak which a ISA will be revoked as well as a Emergency Ordinances be removed, legislation after legislation is making a approach to Parliament for approval. Why a remarkable pour out to get legislation by a Lower House?
There is a simple answer to this. Legislation is being passed during an shocking rate whilst a "Pakatan Rakyat"/BN supervision can still stand. It will not be so easy, after a 13th General Election. This is a reserve measure, used by a Najib administration department to safeguard which when they remove their infancy in Parliament, it will be hard for a antithesis Pakatan Rakyat supervision to repeal them.
At an age where reduction legislation is needed, Malaysia is in a precipitate to install some-more as well as to serve encircle a hearts as well as minds of a people. No wonder, a nation is upon a threshold where a decrepit as well as proven-to-be-rotten complement is about to be kicked out as well as a new emergence due to begin.
The usually approach to ever prevent themselves from descending in to a crutches of such immorality dictators is for Malaysians to mount up for their own rights as well as never concede themselves to a puppets of a politicians. The people have been a boss, not a governments as well as this is a initial thing Malaysian! s must s et right if their nation is not go on sliding in to a guts of bankruptcy as well as social doom.
