Pada 25 November 2013, salah sebuah media utama Barat, Reuters, telah melaporkan pandangan yang dikemukakan Heiner Bielefeldt, Jurulapor Khas Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu bagi Kebebasan Beragama, yang menggesa agar kerajaan Malaysia mengubah keputusannya melarang penggunaan nama Allah bagi menterjemahkan maksud Tuhan di kalangan penganut agama Kristian. Menurut beliau, hal-hal berkaitan beragama tidak sewajarnya dikawal kerajaan sesebuah Negara. Di dalam kenyataan beliau, disebutkan “…It cannot be the business of the State to shape or reshape religious traditions, nor can the State claim any binding authority in the interpretation of religious sources or in the definition of the tenets of faith.”Continue reading “Campurtangan isu kalimah Allah cemar kedaulatan negara”

COMANGO’s siege mentality
It is now less than 8 hours before Malaysia goes under review of her human rights record in the UPR process at the Human Rights Council, Geneva.
I have read an article by Honey Tan of COMANGO’s secretariat (here’s the full link) and, as has happened before, was initially impressed with her commendable writing skills. Then, as has also happened before, I watched her unravel a bit as she descended into ‘emotional’ remarks.
Notes from Geneva – 19th October 2013
From Geneva, Switzerland, I bid you Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Alhamdulillah, we have safely arrived via Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport, after a 13-hours flight from Kuala Lumpur.
Friday afternoon was just a chance to settle down with the hotel check-in and visit the registration desk to collect the security pass for entry into the United Nations Building, or popularly known as Palais Des Nations. Security is strict for entry to the building for the session.

Pertahankan kedaulatan Islam di sesi Semakan Berkala Sejagat (UPR) 2013
Mereka yang mengikuti perkembangan proses Sesi Semakan Berkala Sejagat (UPR), Majlis Hak Asasi Manusia Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (UNHRC), pasti pernah membaca berita yang dilaporkan beberapa media Barat mengenai tindakan Israel menarik diri seketika dari proses UPR pada bulan Januari 2013 yang lalu. Israel telah mendakwa wujud sikap “double standard dan berat sebelah”, yang menyebabkan proses tersebut “dieksploitasi” kumpulan-kumpulan seperti Liga Arab, Pertubuhan Kerjasama Islam (OIC) dan NGO-NGO tertentu untuk menekan dan mensasarkan rekod buruk hak asasi manusia (HAM) Israel, khususnya berkaitan penganiayaan dan penzaliman mereka terhadap masyarakat awam Palestin.Continue reading “Pertahankan kedaulatan Islam di sesi Semakan Berkala Sejagat (UPR) 2013”
Malaysia’s 2nd Evaluation under the Universal Periodic Review, 24th October 2013
Malaysia is fast approaching the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) session, to be held on October 24, 2013 at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. There were some reports sent individually to the Council by bodies such as the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Bar Council, the International Commission of Jurists as well as other human rights-based NGOs. However, the contents of the COMANGO (a coalition of Malaysian NGOs in the UPR process) report form the bulk of the demands contained in the documents used as a point of reference for Malaysia’s human rights record this time around.Continue reading “Malaysia’s 2nd Evaluation under the Universal Periodic Review, 24th October 2013”
