What is Malaysian govenrment's stand in upholding the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
953621
Malaysia is a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but the legislation that created the National Human Rights Commission (Suhakam), also restricts the application of the Declaration to those "fundamental liberties provided for" in the Constitution and to those provisions consistent with the Constitution. In 1999 prior to Suhakam's creation, opposition leaders and non-governmental organizations, including the Bar Council, criticized the definition of human rights as too narrow.\n\nHowever, following former Suhakam Chairman Musa Hitam's October 2001 statement that human rights would need to take a back seat in the fight against terrorism, the Commission has assumed a lower profile in carrying out its mission and has not often publicly challenged the government on sensitive subjects. The new Chairman of the Commission, former Attorney General Abu Talib, appears to favor a low-key, behind-the-scenes approach to promoting human rights.[1861]

Democracy is an important idea that should be spread across the world. Malaysians would benefit from democracy. Though I have to say, it is never good to be forced fed democracy by a foreign nation; it must come from within the nation, by the people.

Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights, or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction or other localizing factors, such as ethnicity, nationality, and sex. As is evident in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights, at least in the post-war period, are conceptualized as based on inherent human dignity, retaining their universal and inalienable character.\n\nThe existence, validity and the content of human rights continue to be the subject to debate in philosophy and political science. Legally, human rights are defined in international law and covenants, and further, in the domestic laws of many states. However, for many people the doctrine of human rights goes beyond law and forms a fundamental moral basis for regulating the contemporary geo-political order. For them, they are democratic ideals.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Human rights legislation \n2 History \n2.1 International bodies \n2.2 Regional legislation \n3 History of human rights \n4 Philosophy of human rights \n4.1 Types of human rights \n4.2 Justification of human rights \n5 Violations of human rights \n5.1 Monitoring \n5.2 Protection and promotion \n5.3 Non-governmental and multilateral organizations \n6 Notes \n7 See also \n8 References \n9 External links \n9.1 Human rights organizations \n \n\n\n[edit] Human rights legislation\nWhere it has been adopted, human rights legislation commonly contains:\n\nsecurity rights that protect people against crimes such as murder, massacre, torture and rape \nliberty rights that protect freedoms in areas such as belief and religion, association, assembling and movement \npolitical rights that protect the liberty to participate in politics by expressing themselves, protesting, participating in a republic \ndue process rights that protect against abuses of the legal system such as imprisonment without trial, secret trials and excessive punishments \nequality rights that guarantee equal citizenship, equality before the law and nondiscrimination \nwelfare rights (also known as economic rights) that require the provision of education and protections against severe poverty and starvation \ngroup rights that provide protection for groups against ethnic genocide and for the ownership by countries of their national territories and resources \nSee International human rights instruments.\n\n\n[edit] History\n \nEleanor Roosevelt with the Spanish text of the Universal Declaration in 1949Appalled by the barbarism of the Second World War, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. While not legally binding, it urged member nations to promote a number of human, civil, economic and social rights, asserting these rights are part of the "foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world". The declaration was the first international legal effort to limit the behaviour of states and press upon them duties to their citizens following the model of the rights-duty duality.\n\nMany states wanted to go beyond the declaration of rights and create legal covenants which would put greater pressure on states to follow human rights norms. Because some states disagreed over whether this international covenant should contain economic and social rights (which usually require a greater effort to fulfill on the part of individual states), two treaties were prepared.\n\nIn 1966 and 1976 respectively, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights came into force. With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights these documents form the International bill of rights.\n\n\n    ...recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world     \n—Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948\n \n\nSince then several other pieces of legislat

China is still oppressive.  It's a paranoid government.  They don't give two craps about the universal rights of anything.

A clear distinction must be made between human rights and civil rights. \n\nHuman rights are inherent and inalienable, and are defined by universal documents (these rights, however, are often mainly given lip service, particularly by dictatorial regimes).\n\nCivil rights are those rights citizens of a nation have as a matter of constitutional guarantee. They cannot be violated by the authorities, and depending on the particular right, by other people. Civil rights can be abridged or even abrogated following conviction of a crime, however. \n\nNations beset with instability grant fewer civil rights to its citizens than stable, established democracies such as  in the US or UK.

Well, I suppose you're talking bout History...\nHere's some info bout it (I have to learn bout it last year)\n\nOrang Melayu menentang Malayan Union kerana:\n1) Malayan Union akan memberikan faedah kepada pendatang (jus soli)\n2) Tindakan Sir Harold MacMicheal yang mengugut Raja2 Melayu untuk mendapatkan persetujuan\n3) Penghapusan kedaulatan dan kuasa Raja2 Melayu\n\nOR in other words:\n1) The nationality (jus soli thing) will benefit outsiders\n2) Sir Harold MacMicheal blackmailed the Raja2 Melayu to sign the agreement\n3) The Raja2 Melayu's power will be take over by the Malayan Union\n\nThey (orang melayu) (the civillians) also showed their dissaproval by protesting (bringing all those banners stating "NO TO MALAYAN UNION" or whatever and so, in the end, Malayan Union was there for about a few month's till it's been replaced by Persekutuan Tanah Melayu which stands till today.\n\nThat's all about it...\n\nGood Luck

DUH... i think u really can tell this one for urself. no offense there! anyways, it means "malaysians can do it!"\ni think it is a really popular slogan because there was a song, something on how we can do anything if we think we can! so that's my theory on how it started.. by the way, we had to put malaysia (the country) instead of malaysian (the ppl in the country) because in our language it would be "orang-orang malaysia boleh!" or something like that. hahahah! i hope this helps! have fun watching the commenwealth!
