Surviving the sedition season

Work in Progress by Hwa Yue-Yi

August 12, 2013

It seems sedition season is upon us again, with accusations flying back and forth about insulting religions and destroying national unity. Our leaders seem intent on engaging in divisive rhetoric, but how should Malaysians respond?

Seditious Malaysia: More to come

By Ding Jo-Ann

November 29, 2010

HARDLY a month goes by in Malaysia without someone being accused of sedition. And now, the government wants to introduce new sedition guidelines for the internet even though the Sedition Act already clearly undermines freedom of expression. Just what is the government up to?

Promoting the constitution = seditious?

By Ding Jo-Ann

September 13, 2010

A POLICE report was lodged recently by a society, of which the prime minister is the patron, against the Bar Council’s MyConstitution campaign.

Seditious Malaysia

By Ding Jo-Ann

Will the police respect opposition?

By Azril Mohd Amin

August 21, 2009

A PRIMARY principle of democratic government that can and should be imported into the Muslim ummah is self-regulation by means of dialogue with opposition and political parties. Political opposition, accomplished through the right channel and by reasonable means, is not the same as “sedition”. Therefore, blogs and other forms of detraction from majority party views […]
