#WorldDayAgainstDeathPenalty A day to reflect on human dignity and the right to life for all. The #deathpenalty is incompatible with the right to life, risks wrongful executions and doesn't deter crime. Together, let’s work to end killing as a form of punishment.

Ravi Chandran (Co-Chairperson, Criminal Law Committee, Malaysian Bar Council) An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. We must look beyond just the death penalty and address the broader issues.

Kasthuri Patto (Former MP) emphasizes that the fight to abolish the death penalty is deeply tied to equality. The journey may be long, but every step counts in the pursuit of justice.

In today's budget announcement - The Drug Treatment & Rehabilitation Act 1983 to be amended, so people who use drugs are not sent to prison. Looking forward to the provision of evidence based treatment and rehabilitation and NOT more compulsory detention. @ramkarpal @KDNPUTRAJAYA

Dozens of police officers blocked the #LawanLapar farmers’ march to Parliament.

These were mostly elderly, small town farmers, travelling to Parliament for their voice to be heard, to save their farms.

More content to come on this.

💔Plantation workers who reach retirement age do not have any form of protection, they can be kicked out of their homes just like that. 📽️Watch full video by JSML : https://t.co/XFdaoaBzTb

[Azalina Othman Said @AzalinaOthmanS]

I wholeheartedly agree with @DrZalihaMustafa @KKMPutrajaya - a treatment and rehabilitation approach instead of an imprisonment approach must be prioritised in handling drug addiction.

In an effort to treat drug addiction as a medical issue instead of a criminal issue, @BHEUU_JPM is in the midst of studying the establishment of a council to review drug-related laws and existing sentences, and to provide guidelines and promote rehabilitation and restorative based approaches in addressing drug addiction.
