Whistleblower Protection Act: Don't Let it be Misunderstood



Notes:The sender of this minute says a persisting case involvingRafiziRamlivis-a-vis theNational Feedlot Centre (NFCorp) emanate should not deter Malaysians from blowing a alarm upon wrong-doers since a Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 [Act 711] does provide safeguards ..."The whistleblower protection mechanism in a Act obviously states a sorts of disclosures which can be made, to whom it's to be done to, how a single qualifies for whistleblower insurance as well as how he might remove it, a coercion procedures, acts which volume to offences as well as their penalties. It's all there, all clear.Nothing hidden, no diabolical devise at a back of it."


Dear Rocky,
Good intentions arealways misunderstood, especially if a single already has prejudices clouding their minds, as well as opposes every great goal of a Government. Any new thought or policy introduced is more often than not met with sneers, gibe as well as straight-out critique everything is seen as a tool for a Government to tighten a ranks as well as strengthen a own.

The aim of a Whistleblower Protection Act, even prior to it came in to being, has always been really transparent - to strengthen those disclosing report upon wrongdoings from being victimized for creation a disclosure. The insurance is lengthened indiscriminately to every citizen from every walk of life, be it in a public or private sector, so prolonged as a avowal is done in suitability with a mechanism encapsulated inside of a Act.The approach this Act functions is a same approach in which alternative whistleblower legislation functions in countries which have prolonged provided for whistleblower protection, which, incidentally, were referred to in drafting a Malaysian legislation.

The whistleblower insurance mechanism in a Act obviously states a sorts of disclo! sures wh ich can be made, to whom it's to be done to, how a single qualifies for whistleblower insurance as well as how he might remove it, a coercion procedures, acts which volume to offences as well as their penalties. It's all there, all clear. Nothing hidden, no diabolical devise at a back of it.

Unfortunately, when a single is blinded by his myths as well as prejudices, he chooses to see usually what he wants to see as well as believes usually what he wants to believe. Had it been any Tom, Dick orRafiziwho did a "whistleblowing" as well as a bungle disclosed of not connected to a small former Cabinet Minister, things would substantially not turned out a approach it did. However, with a players in this small story being who they have been as well as what they represent, fingers were automatically forked as well as accusations hurled but any one bothering to do a small homework prior to putting their foots in to their mouths.

Graphic by Beruang Biru Yes, a dear Mr.Rafiziblew a whistle. Is he a whistleblower inside of a textbookdefinition of "whistleblower", then? Not quite, as many dictionaries define a whistleblower asan employee who reports of employer misconduct. Is Mr.Rafizian employee of NFCorp? That fact is really much doubted. The kind people who drafted a Malaysian legislation didn't wish to be confined to a textbook clarification of whistleblower as well as instead broadened it to be any personwho creates a avowal of crude conduct. Does this have Mr.Rafizia Malaysian whistleblower, then? Not utterly either. Read a clarification of whistleblower in territory 2 of ! a Act as well as a magic words"to a coercion agency"towards a finish of a sentence gives we a answer. Unless a two people which he disclosed a report to can, by any widen of a imagination, fall inside of a clarification of "enforcement agency" additionally found under territory 2, afterwards a dear Mr.Rafiziis additionally sadly denied a pretension of Malaysian whistleblower. If he can't even alarm blow a Malaysian way, how can he be protected?

If he's not a textbook whistleblower as well as he's not a Malaysian whistleblower, who is he then? A great Samaritan intending to put right a wrong which has prolonged been starting upon but any slightest care to strengthen or gangling his informer, a chairman described as any alternative chairman namedin a avowal of crude conduct who would humour any risk or loss if his identity is disclosed as described in a clarification of "a whistleblower" in Act 711, or a chairman with a dark bulletin who is not on top of using unscrupulous equates to to grasp thatagenda? It's for a justice to decide. Either way, with a demeanour as well as clouded intent in which he done a disclosure, he does not deserve whistleblower insurance legally or otherwise.
Thank you.
