Coal use has NO place here in a #DaruratIklim & only exacerbate climate disasters like #BanjirMalaysia

The communities living near these power plants have been left behind as they suffer the health, economic, and environmental impacts of #coal

After the coal-fired #Jimah Power Plant fired up, #fishermen nearby have been struggling. Less fish in the sea; no prawns even. Incomes dropped by 75%. Communities across #Malaysia tell @nicolefws the high price they pay for living near 'cheap' #coal.

The May 13 1969 Victim Burial Site was once set to be turned into a carpark in 2017 - but thanks to lobbying efforts from cultural workers and the public, it is now gazetted.

Last weekend, me and @yeeshan_13 attended the annual memorial service at the burial site in Sungai Buloh

Not on a single western news outlet covering this‼️

For International Workers Day, I wrote about Malaysia’s recent attempt to ban 3 books related to communism in Asia, the erosion of democratic norms under Anwar’s government, and the lingering legacy of anti communism in SEA: https://t.co/JuMJqGgZqn

Singapore’s government must immediately halt the execution of Omar bin Yacob Bamadhaj, who has been convicted for trafficking just over one kilogram of cannabis, considered a Class A controlled drug under the 1973 Misuse of Drugs Act, to the country in 2018. His execution is scheduled to take place tomorrow, April 16.

Singapore’s continued use of the death penalty for drug-related offences is a violation of international human rights law and standards. Everyone deserves the right to life and to live free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. This execution must not go ahead.

Three activists arrested for holding up a placard while Azam Baki is speaking. This reminds me of the balloon girl who got charged for "insulting behavior" (she dropped yellow balloons at an event attended by Najib during 1MDB/Bersih 4). Are we back to pre-2018 or we never left?

#Malaysia: Extremely worrying that in the last 24 hours the @anwaribrahim government has targeted at least two civil society organisations - BERSIH and C4 - for their activism. This is clearly an effort to intimidate & silence them and must stop!

Malays spewing the most vile, racist shit online with little to no repercussions, yet believe that the law somehow is against them. You gotta wonder how that works.

My statement on MACC’s public search notice as a wanted man. I’d like to iterate that I’m not Jho Low nor am I in Macau. This is plain and simple using the largesse of the state against a nobody like me. I’m not a politician, tycoon, or an influencer. Read here:

Calling people ‘deviant’ does not uphold morality — it normalizes hate and discrimination. The Malaysian government must end its attack against LGBTI people.

#Malaysia: Anwar Ibrahim's so called 'reformist government' is now going after @Bloomberg journalists for their reporting om abuse of power by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption agency. This is a disturbing attack on the media. It is unacceptable & must end.

DAP lawmaker Ramkarpal Singh has fired a salvo at Saifuddin Nasution Ismail after the home minister said the patrons of the health club that the police raided recently were involved in immoral activities.

Taking his Pakatan Harapan colleague to task, Ramkarpal reminded Saifuddin that the case had not been investigated properly.

“Such comments, without the benefit of proper investigations, are clearly an affront to the principle of one being innocent until proven guilty.

“Saifuddin should know better before making such remarks, which can be detrimental to the integrity of the investigation process,” the Bukit Gelugor MP said in a statement today.

Over 200 people were arrested in KL and Penang raids targeting those perceived as LGBTI.

Amnesty International Malaysia calls for an end to discriminatory policing and for all investigations to be dropped.

Human rights for all!

[aidil @climateaidil]

Again, the timing of this raid/crackdown of queer people is so convenient while one of the biggest corruption scandals in Malaysia this year is taking place. Our community is constantly treated like scapegoats & dehumanised for political diversion.

Amnesty International Malaysia warns of growing authoritarianism and increasing repression in the country.

"The Madani government’s actions in 2024 have not only failed to reverse long-standing restrictions on free speech but have actively escalated threats to such rights."

A welcome moment of relief and hope—today the Court of Appeal of Singapore granted a stay of execution for Pannir Selvam. Every moment of hope counts as we continue the fight for justice and for the full commutation of his death sentence #AbolishTheDeathPenalty
