Malaysia



Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation.

Freedom from the oppression of big government; from the tyranny of controlled expression; from the shackles of organized religion; and from the dominion of intellectual orthodoxy.





Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
A right delayed is a right denied.





The bravest of the brave, Malaysians who lost their freedom fighting for all Malaysians' rights against tyranny. An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.

The ultimate measure of a man or woman is not where he or she stands in moments of comfort, but at times of challenge and controversy. An individual has not started living until he or she can rise above the narrow confines of individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.






Malaysia is a member of UN and also sits as a member on the UN human rights council that is tasked with protecting and preserving human rights. (It really puzzle me to see that how Malaysia 's government that consistently disregard basic human right of its own citizens can be trusted with the task that oversee the promotion and respect of basic human right in member nations and the world; while its own law and action often contradicted with the stated objective of human rights council? Is it the lack of eligible member in UN suitable for the above seat or it is just a "for show" council within UN where its member internal affair is an exception to the rule?)
