To: The Government of Malaysia

In order to ensure the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, United Nations (OHCHR-UNOG) functioning under its related UN Treaty, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) are able to intervene on the abuse of ISA, we shall raise a petition online to persuade the government of Malaysia to become a party to ICCPR, by signing and ratifying it.

"But i'm in confusion now... Adakah Mak Cik Fatimah dari Kampung Paya Jakas dapat membaca ICCRP atau Amnesty International Report? Nyatanya para aktivis kita masih belum merentas dari Kuala Lumpur ke Kampung Paya Jakas sedangkan akar umbi inilah kunci yang memainkan peranan penting dalam proses pembangunan sosial di Malaysia!"

I doubt (and i afraid) i don't really believe in it, i'm just playing the devil's advocate. =(

What About Now (Daughtry song) Music Video

Courtesy of Sony BMG Music

This Music video is a social commentary, depicting several people and places affected by poverty, natural disasters, and war, as well as other world issues. Several comments are made about these issues, and the video also asks introspective questions to the viewer. Certain people who are working to help these problems are shown throughout the video, with their names and what they're associated with listed. The video features a light bulb that has not yet burned out, which symbolizes that it's not too late to make a difference. The video concludes with one final question to the viewer, "What About Now?", shown next to the burning light bulb. A few shots of the band playing the song live are also shown in the video.

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:

• Take out a gift subscription for someone close to you.

In solidarity,
Aliran
