PKR members warned against abusing freedom of speech in party
The warning came from PKR vice-president Datuk Seri R. Ramanan, who stressed the importance of ethical and responsible expression.
Speaking to the media after launching The Changemakers at INTI International College Subang and a seminar by the National Entrepreneurship Institute (INSKEN), Ramanan emphasised that while freedom of speech is a fundamental right, it should not be exploited to spread falsehoods.
'This is the strength and greatness of PKR and the current government – that everyone has the right to speak. But I must remind you, do not resort to slander,' he said.
Ramanan clarified that expressing opinions is acceptable as long as it is based on facts and conducted with discipline. He warned that freedom is lost when it is misused to defame others.
The reminder follows recent concerns raised by a group of PKR MPs regarding the judiciary, including calls for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into alleged irregularities in judicial appointments. - Bernama

Rafizi could have been like Singapore's Goh Keng Swee in Anwar's Cabinet — Hafiz Hassan
JULY 9 — I respectfully disagree with former Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli who said the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) had inadvertently confirmed key concerns raised by nine PKR MPs regarding recent judicial appointments, adding that the matter warranted a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI). In a statement, Rafizi said the AGC's response to a press conference by the PKR lawmakers appeared to validate claims of procedural lapses and unresolved allegations involving a Federal Court judge. 'The AGC's own statement confirms three things: that there were delays in appointments, that some Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC) nominees were not acted upon, and that a JAC meeting was convened without the required 10-day notice,' he said. On the other hand, I agree with the AGC that 'discrepancies in timing or procedure related to appointments' are part of the process itself and do not automatically amount to a crisis, let alone a Constitutional one. On the allegation that some nominees were not acted upon, one has to be mindful of Sections 26 and 27 of the JAC Act 2009. Section 26(2) says that after submitting its report on who has been selected by the JAC to be recommended for the appointment to the judicial office concerned, the JAC shall provide any further information as may be required by the prime minister. Section 27 allows the prime minister after receiving the report under Section 26, to request for two more names to be selected and recommended for his consideration with respect to any vacancy to the office of the Chief Justice, the President of the Court of Appeal, the Chief Judge of the High Court in Malaya, the Chief Judge of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak, judges of the Federal Court and the Court of Appeal, and the JAC shall, as soon as may be practicable, comply with the request in accordance with the selection process as prescribed in the regulations made under the Act. Clearly, the selection of judges is a process that can take time. Lastly, on the allegation that a JAC meeting was convened without the required 10-day notice, I have explained this in 'Procedural flaw in JAC proceedings?' The calls for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) or a parliamentary select committee to investigate judicial appointments are respectfully misplaced and rightly rejected by the AGC. On a parting note, I thought Rafizi would serve the cause that he has now undertaken if he had stayed in the Cabinet. He could have been the Goh Keng Swee in the Madani Cabinet. Born in Malacca in 1918, Goh Keng Swee (Dr) was an economist who served as the second deputy to Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew between 1973 and 1985 and widely recognised as one of the founding fathers of Singapore. In his eulogy at the state funeral service for the late Goh Keng Swee, Lee Kuan Yew said: 'It was my good fortune to have strong men around me. Of all my Cabinet colleagues, it was Goh Keng Swee who made the greatest difference to the outcome for Singapore. 'He had a capacious mind and a strong character. When he held a contrary view, he would challenge my decisions and make me re-examine the premises on which they were made. As a result, we reached better decisions for Singapore. 'In the middle of a crisis, his analysis was always sharp, with an academic detachment and objectivity that reassured me. His robust approach to problems encouraged me to press on against seemingly impossible odds.' Rafizi could have done the same to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to reach better decisions for the country. But alas, there is only one Goh Keng Swee. *This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Freedom of speech must not be misused for slander
KUALA LUMPUR: Every PKR member has the right to express their views, but this must be exercised with discipline and responsibility, without resorting to slander or defamatory remarks, said its vice president, Datuk Seri R. Ramanan. He said freedom of speech is a core strength of both the party and the government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, but it must be practised ethically. "This is the strength and greatness of PKR and the current government, where everyone has the right to speak. But I want to remind everyone, do not spread slander. In Islam, slander is considered a sin worse than murder. "We have freedom of speech, but when it is misused to slander others, that freedom is lost. There is nothing wrong with voicing opinions, as long as they are based on facts and expressed with discipline," he said. He was speaking after officiating the launch of Changemakers IICS and a social entrepreneurship seminar organised by the Malaysian Entrepreneurship Institute here today. Present were the ministry's deputy secretary-general (policy and monitoring) Noor Afifah Abdul Razak, Insken's chief executive officer (CEO) Viviantie Sarjuni and Subang INTI International College CEO Dr Jane Lim. Ramanan, who is also Deputy Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister said PKR remains stable under the leadership of Anwar, who will continue to serve as the party's president and prime minister. "There will naturally be one or two individuals who voice their views. In politics, that is normal. So we must be open to everyone's perspectives," he added. Yesterday, nine PKR members of parliament called for a royal commission of inquiry to investigate what they claimed were alleged irregularities in the appointment of senior judges, including the Chief Justice. They also will formally request that proceedings and an inquiry be conducted by the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Human Rights, Elections and Institutional Reform, including top government officials to testify. Leading the group is Pandan MP and former PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli, who said they would write officially to the Chairman of the Committee, William Leong and all committee members.
