Law & Paneir

In this blog we observe the basic rights through the Malaysian Constitution. We just wanted Mlaysian know their fundamental rights. It's starts within a person and up to the nation's rights. About mee goreng issue that Matt as mentioned in his comments, well, the our basic rights. We earn our hard money and if we not getting what we wanted with our own earn money, then it's too bad. We should know our own basic rights to stand up. Let's we start from mee goreng issue. Doesn't matter. It's our money, remember that. With the latest development of course we are quite skeptical on rule of law. But this is the process or evolution of law that shows us as Malaysian maturing. Basically I adore natural law. We are live in this world and it’s a chain reaction. I not surprised if someone not agrees with me. We as the citizens of Malaysia need to know the system we are in to have a good understanding of ourselves. As I mentioned earlier in Situation A, if you don’t your ba...

By Lord Woolf The Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales Royal Holloway, University of London, Surrey In Brief 790 years ago, John, the King of England was having a little local difficulty with his barons. His attempts to defend his extensive dominions across the Channel, including Normandy and a considerable proportion of western France, had been a disaster. This was despite the exorbitant demands that he had made of his subjects. The taxes he had imposed were extortionate. There had been ruthless reprisals against defectors. The administration of justice for which he was responsible could with generosity be described as capricious. Instead of depending on the traditional establishment for his advisers and confidants, John looked to “new men”, who wielded immense power. Today no doubt the media would describe them as “John's cronies”. In the world of politics, little changes. John's barons became increasingly disaffected. They knew John needed their support for his further mi...

Tun Mohamed Suffian, described by Tun Mohamed Dzaiddin as "a person of unshakable principles", made an outstanding contribution to his nation. He occupied with distinction the office of Lord President (now "Chief Justice") of the Federal Court from 1974 to 1982. As the leader of the "least dangerous" branch of government, he guided the Malaysian judiciary along a path of rigorous judicial integrity and independence. In a Reference held at the Federal Court on 16 March 2001 in honour of Tun Suffian, the then Attorney-General of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Ainum bt Mohd Saaid, made the following succinct and apt comments pivotal to any assessment of Tun Suffian's role in the shaping of the Malaysian polity: One of his main concerns was the place of the judiciary within the constitutional framework. In various forums and in several ways, he spoke about the need for an independent judiciary. He regarded this independence as a cornerstone of our constitutional...

Malaysia is a beautiful country. But we Malaysian still realise our basic rights? I am not too sure about this. Why? For example, do we know our consumer rights? Situation A When you go to a stall and order 'mee goreng', the 'waiter' gave you plate of 'mee goreng' which is not cooked properly. What is your reaction? Normally we Malaysians paid the bill and complained to our friends. Right? Do we complain to the owner or refuse to pay the bill? We won't do that. Why? It's just RM4.00. That'a all. No issue and no problem. Right? This is a big problem with us. We never enforce our rights. When we become ignorant and engage with 'tidak apa' attitude, who are loser? We are the real loser. So, you don't talk about nation or the world. Try to change them. No use. The reform with ourselves must be prevailed. We should know our fundamental rights. We should uphold that rights first before we go to the bigger scene. This is my humble aspiration on...
