BANGKOK: Thailand and Cambodia exchanged fire on their border Thursday (jULY 24) in a sharp escalation of their conflict that killed at least nine civilians.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat proposed a comprehensive reform of the country’s prison and detention management system , including the development of humane standards to ensure effective rehabilitation and protect detainees' welfare through an integrated approach.
"I believe the government will not take this matter lightly, and I support efforts to enhance enforcement training through collaboration with Suhakam in developing human rights modules, which should be expanded. "Detention facilities such as police lock-ups, prisons and immigration depots that are in poor and dilapidated condition pose health risks to both detainees and staff. Overcrowding also accelerates the spread of infectious diseases,” she said.
During the debate, MPs also raised concerns about human rights and the social protection of gig economy workers, calling for the prompt tabling of legislation to safeguard their rights. Earlier, while tabling the motion, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said stated that the tabling and debate of Suhakam’s Annual Report in the Dewan Rakyat marked a vital democratic tradition.
