The anti-stalking law is now in operation (as of 31 May 2023) in Malaysia. If you are being stalked (e.g. someone following you around, contacting you repeatedly - and making you scared), you can get help from @PDRMsia . Please help spread the word!

Jangan lupa apa yg berlaku bila AGC cuba menyiasat 1MDB, pada tahun 2015 semasa Najib PM. Peguam Negara Gani Patail dipecat, dan mayat prosecutor Kevin Morais ditemui dalam tong konkrit. Jadi maaf tapi susah untuk terima sentimen "kesian Najib" atau "Najib tetap menyumbang".

Malaysia's definition of "rape" is outdated. We must amend the Penal Code S.375 to equally recognise all rape survivors: -Delete "exception" that permits husbands to rape -Widen defn of rape to include rape by objects/body parts, into any bodily orifice -Make rape gender neutral

In Msia husbands can't legally rape their wives. So this isn't rape. This is "causing hurt or fear of death/hurt to his wife...in order to hv sex". The punishment: up to 5 yrs prison. For rape: up to 20 yrs + whipping. Why do we allow this? Marriage is not a license to rape.

Personally, I don't believe SS is corrupt. Though one may not agree with his every move, I think he has proven his integrity. But this situation shows the importance of proper organisational processes (with paper trail). Not having them is also wrong, and puts one at risk.

Since I'm not involved with the trial or politically involved with any party, think it will be helpful to explain Syed Saddiq's case. I think a lot of people know about the charges against him but not necessarily the facts and the stance taken by the defence.

We are asking the Malaysian government to introduce (at least) 7 days of paternity leave, for fathers working in the private sector. If you agree, please sign & share this petition!

When someone dies in police custody: - Media reports, get investigated - Public discusses, gets warning - MP speak outs, gets investigated Police investigates itself. No Parliament sitting. Zero oversight. #IPCMCnow #BukaPuasaBukaParlimen

Why am i under Police investigation for demanding for justice? I will give full cooperation to PDRM. They are not my enemy. They are my friends & allies. The FEW who disrespect the rule of Law are the true enemies.

I can't vote in state elections (KL voter) - but if I could, I'd still vote for PH. Combining competency, integrity, track record, and values - they are far ahead of any other coalition.

We need to #MakeStalkingACrime to stop dangerous behaviour before it escalates to this - and worse. Hope this man has been detained. The woman's life is in danger.

Tomorrow, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Bill is set to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat for its second (and third?) reading. Re-sharing this summary of WHY this bill (though it has some shortcomings) is important.

Yes, we need a Sexual Harassment Bill: 1. Sexual harassment is harmful to individuals & society 2. Sexual harassment is prevalent in Malaysia 3. Existing laws are inadequate to address sexual harassment 4. There is widespread support in Malaysia for a sexual harassment law

To anyone lodging police reports on stalking: Besides Penal Code section 507A (the new offence), good to mention Criminal Procedure Code section 98A "Protection Order in Cases of Stalking". This can stop stalkers from contacting/coming near you WHILE investigations are ongoing.

I have been in touch. For other victims in similar situation, please 1. Log all of the offenses + communication with date, location and evidence (screenshot/images) for police report 2. Highlight events after 31 May especially 3. Stress on Akta 507A to open investigation

Research suggests that after natural disasters, violence against women often increases. After COVID-19 & MCOs, Malaysia experienced a surge in domestic violence (maybe double). We must be prepared for another surge, following #daruratbajir . Here are some initial thoughts.

Mr Ewansiha came to Malaysia to study. He had a visa, but was still detained & held for days. Now he is dead. @imigresenmy boss reacts by victim-blaming Mr Ewansiha: "he fled, raising doubts abt his pass". A disgrace. @my_malaysia @AzisJamman must act.

Five years ago @womensaidorg was told a stalking law was not needed. From survivors' stories we knew this wasn't true–so we started an effort to #MakeStalkingACrime . It spanned 4 govts & involved many partners. Today the Dewan Rakyat passed the bills. Thanks all who supported us.

There has been concern that the Employment Act amendments would limit maternity leave (& other provisions) to those earning below RM2,000. I'm writing this primarily for those who are pregnant (and may be worried about their maternity leave).

Many are criticising the Minister - "wayang", "ini realiti" diorang cakap. The message is "tengok - mentah lagi. Kena toughen up. Be a man".Folks, this is toxic masculinity. The Minister did the right thing by reporting. Violence is a crime and you DON'T have to tolerate it.
