SAMBUTAN HARI HAK ASASI MANUSIA 2018
PERANAN MEDIA
Peranan pengamal media sebagai wadah
penyampai maklumat kepada masyarakat
harus diteliti dan diamati. Media perlu
bertanggungjawab dan lebih berhati-hati
misalnya dalam penggunaan dan pemilihan
perkataan agar tidak menimbulkan salah
faham melalui laporan yang salah atau
tidak tepat sehingga boleh mencetuskan
ketegangan dalam masyarakat. Harus jelas
bahawa SUHAKAM tidak menganjurkan
“perhimpunan serupa perarakan” seperti
yang dianjurkan oleh NGO Ummah.
Program SUHAKAM juga tidak memerlukan
permit atau makluman kepada pihak polis
seperti perhimpunan Anti-ICERD yang
tertakluk di bawah Akta Perhimpunan
Aman 2012.

TWO BIG RALLIES SET
ON SAME DAY
PETALING JAYA: This weekend, two major gatherings
will take place in the Klang Valley, with both sides
rallying to uphold human rights in their own context.
As the anti-Icerd (International Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination)
protesters gather in downtown Kuala Lumpur at
Dataran Merdeka to celebrate the non-ratification
of the United Nations covenant, in Padang Timur,
Petaling Jaya, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad will be the chief guest in a celebration of
universal human rights.
The event in Petaling Jaya, which the organisers
contend was planned three months ago, is organised
by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia
(Suhakam).
The coalition of Malay NGOs Ummah, the key
organiser of the anti-Icerd rally, however, said they
were not aware of the event in Petaling Jaya.
Organisers of both gatherings, which have been
given the greenlight by the authorities, say they
welcome everyone to join.
