During the briefing for Muslim UPRo (Muslim NGOs
in the UPR process) at Dewan Tun Rahah Memorial Tun Abdul
Razak in Kuala Lumpur, Uncle Azril briefed us about the
Universal Periodic Review (UPR) and the United Nations Human Rights
Council (UNHRC) declarations. The review process will be held at the
United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
Malaysia is a peaceful country where the minorities races
and religions are not been discriminated by our government. And Malaysia
has its own Federal Constitutions, Rules of Laws, Social Contract and National
Principles. This is very important to ensure the stability of our
country since the people in our country is multi racial.
Anyway a loose coalition of NGOs called COMANGO
(Coalition of Malaysian NGOs in the UPR process) made some false
accusations regarding human rights in Malaysia. It also demands Malaysia to
sign the UNHRC treaties that are against the Federal Constitution of
Malaysia, our Rukun Negara (National Principles) and the laws of our country.
COMANGO claims that it represents the majority of
Malaysian, but they are not. Actually COMANGO only represents a
minority of Malaysian citizens. They claimed to represent 54 NGOs but
only 12 of those NGOs are legal, meaning most
of the NGOs that COMANGO represented are illegal as they
are not registered under the ROS or SSM.
Some of COMANGO’s demands are:
·
Demands
Malaysia to sign the International Covenant on Civil & Political
Rights (ICCPR) which said,“The Committee observes that the freedom to “have
or to adopt” a religion or belief necsesarily entails the freedom to
choose a religion or belief, including the right to replace one’s current
religion or belief with another or to adopt atheistic views, as well as the
right to retain one’s religion or belief…”. ICCPR is against
Article 3 (1) of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia that says, “Islam is the
religion of the Federation” and Article 11 (4) that says that state laws and
federal law may control or restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine
or belief among Muslims and also against the first principle of Rukun
Negara (National Principles) that says, “Believe in God”.
·
Demands
Malaysia to sign the International Covenant on the Elimination of All Forms of
Racial Discrimination (ICERD). This is against Article 153 of the
Federal Constitution that gives special rights and position of the Malays and
the Bumiputras (indigenous people of the Sabah and Sarawak).
·
Demands
Malaysia to agree on the SOGI Rights (Sexual Orientation & Gender
Identity) which means they want Malaysia to legalised LGBTIQ (Lesbian
Gay Bisexual Transgender Intersex Queer). This is against Article 3 (1) of
the Federal Constitution and also the law of Malaysia.
·
Demands
some enactments of the Syariah Law to be abolished. This is
also against Article 3 (1) and against the second principle of
the Rukun Negara that says, “Loyalty to the king and country,”
because the king must protect Islam.
I do not agree on
everything that UNHRC declares as Human Rights because it is
against my Rights as a Malaysian citizen according to the Federal
Constitutions, Rukun Negara and the Rules of Laws of Malaysia.
COMANGO does not respect the Federal Constitutions, Rukun
Negara, Rules of Laws and the Social Contract of Malaysia. And COMANGO does not
respect human rights because it claims that it represent the majority of
Malaysian when it is not true. Cheating and making false accusations is a
crime. Can we trust criminals to fight for other people’s Human Rights?
