Aliran : A letter to all concerned Malaysians

Dear fellow Malaysians

For over 30 years, Aliran has been a beacon for Malaysian society in
many important ways. Aliran provides a rallying point for citizens and
civic organisations concerned with freedom, justice and democracy.
Aliran defends civil liberties and human rights, and promotes
inter-ethnic and inter-religious respect. More than that, Aliran
advances the causes of marginalised communities, disadvantaged groups
and persecuted individuals who are too often bereft of any opportunity
to speak for themselves.

To carry out these tasks, Aliran depends on limited financial resources
derived from Aliran Monthly subscriptions and sales as well as donations
made by our members, subscribers and other well-wishers. Our writers,
members and other supporters receive no payment for their tireless
services.

For our operational expenses, we receive no funding whatsoever from any
government or opposition political party, corporation or foreign source.
We intend to keep things that way to safeguard our autonomy.

The cost of producing Aliran Monthly, disseminating information and
publications, networking with other civic organisations, and organising
public talks and forums has risen considerably. In truth, we are
incurring deficits every month.

To maintain our crucial public service, we sincerely appeal to you to
respond in any of the following ways:

• Make a donation to Aliran. How to make a donation:

In solidarity,
Aliran
