Sign in if it is a Clear Human Rights Violation
Dear readers o this blog:
I would like to get your attention to the attachment letter.
A friend of mine who studies in one of the universities in South Korea was threatened by our government by pressuring the university unprofessionally.
I would like you to sign the protest letter and send it to the embassy.
It is also possible to return the letter to me if you feel that it is clearly a violation of human rights. I will publish your endorsement and submit to the respective department in Malaysia.
Yours sincerely
Faisal Mustaffa (Malaysia)

We regret on the pressure that was put to a student, Badrul Hisham Shaharin, a post-graduate student from Malaysia who is under scholarship of Inter-Asia Graduate School of NGO Studies at Songkonghoe University, Seoul, South Korea.
As a member of a political party who believes in freedom of expression, People’s Justice Party (KeADILan), Badrul Hisham was never in any position to create disorderly manner in South Korea where studies much less to bother Malaysian Embassy routines especially at time of promoting Visit Malaysia Year 2007.
We also with belief that cultural exposure among people of the world will provide better understanding and gain mutual respect.
Unlike what has been quoted referring to article published in Harakah Daily dated 20 March 2007, it is politically bias and repressive for Malaysian Embassy to call the Sunghonghae University to identify a Malaysian student who allegedly have written an article regarding the recent visit of Deputy Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak to South Korea to meet with Malaysian students.
Our purpose of writing this letter is to explain about the unprofessional method used by Malaysian Embassy to have called the university yesterday, 19th March 2007. It is known that the University is one of the prestigious in South Korea and gain international reputation for its education system and balance of political views.

Badrul Hisham was called by the Executive Director of the Institute today and explained to the institute whether he is a problem to the state.
It was understood that the Institute was showered with questions regarding the organization who sponsored Badrul Hisham and place of residence.
More importantly, the University is the centre of Human Rights learning where pro-democracy believers and intellectuals gain knowledge hence restored democracy in South Korea in 1987. Students stand to belief that justice and freedom will prevail and that's what happened to Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo Hwan regimes.
Fortunate for the Institute that upholds human rights did not entertain to such questions which clearly unprofessional and threatening.
However, Malaysia under Barisan Nasional administration, it's unfortunate that not just education system being put under constant scrutiny but university students are subject to UUCA (University and University College Act) and other oppressive Acts.
Knowing how the Barisan Nasional would function, I won't see any changes taking place unless the people demand for real change and my piece of advice, having put my belief and centre of thinking at real democracy is people democracy - stop treating Malaysian students as your object of politics of fear and stop threatening Malaysian students who favors democracy and non-guided cheap scheme by pulling their from scholarships. For your record, the Malaysian student who attended Sunghonghae University is an international student sponsored fully by the university for his good will and sincerity for change.
In 2003, Korean activists protested in front of the Malaysian Embassy urging Malaysian government to release all the ISA detainees. This peaceful protest has gain international momentum and creates news around the globe. Image of Malaysia through its embassy in South Korea will further be tarnished should the embassy fails to back off from interfering with individual rights to freedom of expression.
It's a long way for Visit Malaysia Year 2007 to be warped up like this simply by few ignorant and fear driven Malaysians. As a Malaysian citizen, as much as I care about my country, I write to you with great sense of morality and responsibility and that creating a culture of fear outside Malaysia is simply childish and unprofessional.

We hope that the institute will not influenced by any undemocratic rights of a citizen even from the Government of Malaysia where they are popular in practicing infamous draconian laws.
We also hope that the Government of Malaysia respect the rights to privacy and stop threatening its citizen with such unprofessional way.
Yours sincerely,
