Abstract

This essay seeks to arrive at several generalisation on the nature and
implementation of the provisions under Pan Tho of the Federal Constitution
of Malaysia which codifies the essentially human rights provisions.
Given the objective the anicle will not confine itself to just the law but
will also look at the practice which includes the co un decisions as well as
the way the government agencies like the police force view and exercise
their powers. The problems and weaknesses of protecting human rights in
Malaysia are rooted in various reasons. These include the philosophical
foundations laid down by Reid Commission Repon as well as the attitude
of the people in general. The latter is imponant as it influences the way
the powers-that-be treat the provisions penaining to fundamentalliberties.
The establishment of National Human Rights Commission in 1999
underlined this although its functioning thus far has not been entirely satisfactory.
The position of Islam and the muslims is another concern of this
essay. This question has not been dealt with satisfactorily by the couns
and this may alarm the majority of the population who feel that Islam has
a special place in the constitutional structure.
