The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) has welcomed the speech by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, on the occasion of His Majesty’s birthday last Saturday. Its Vice-Chairman Tan Sri Simon Sipaun said Tuanku Mizan had spoken in some concerns relating to human rights, like the establishment of the Judicial Appointment Commission and the amendment to the Printing Presses and Publication Act 1964. “Suhakam welcomes this statement from His Majesty which reflects the King’s concern for human rights in Malaysia,” he said in a statement. Sipaun said these issues had been part of Suhakam’s recommendations as contained in the Commission’s various annual reports tabled to Parliament. - Bernama
