Continue to support M’sia in gaining stronger civil liberties, Suhakam tells agencies

National Human Rights Commission calls for all enforcement agencies to continue to support Malaysia’s ongoing journey towards stronger civil liberties.

“Police investigations against expressions of dissent may constitute a form of harassment and, if left unchecked, may create a chilling effect in which citizens self-censor or restrain themselves from fully exercising their right to freedom of expression in fear of threats of legal sanctions. Freedom of speech and expression are guaranteed by Article 10 of the federal constitution, they said, and action taken against those exercising these rights in expressing their dissatisfaction surrounding the appointment of Muhyiddin Yassin as prime minister may constitute a violation of those rights.

“Such disagreements should not be punished as they are often the sole avenue for citizens to express their feelings of disenfranchisement,” they said.
