Know your Constitution
THE campaign to improve knowledge of the Federal Constitution among the public is heading north to Kedah.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak will launch the state-level campaign at Kolej Universiti Insaniah in Alor Setar on Sunday.
A talk on the Constitution will be held at Universiti Utara Malaysia a day earlier but only 80 seats are available. To book a seat, call the Kedah/Perlis Bar Council (04-7308305), which is jointly organising the campaign with the state government.
Council committee chairman Ahmad Taufik Baharom said the campaign, mooted by the Bar Council of Malaysia, was aimed at educating the people about the Constitution and their rights as Malaysians.
“Many people do not know their rights under the Federal Constitution except on certain matters such as their right to vote to select a government.
“We hope to improve their knowledge so that they can become better Malaysians,” he said on Sunday during a joint press conference with state Health, Non-Governmental Organisation, Human Development, Science and Innovation, Information Technology and Communication Committee chairman Dr Ismail Salleh.
Ahmad Taufik said the council and the state government would distribute a rakyat guide on the Constitution, known as the My Constitution booklet, to the public during the campaign which will be an ongoing affair.

ReplyDeleteApabila dimaklumkan kepada saya tentang majlis ini, saya amat tertarik dan Kerajaan Negeri turut memberikan kerjasama bagi menjayakan program yang sebegini besar manfaatnya untuk rakyat.
Saya sendiri mempunyai satu pengalaman yang cukup besar dalam hidup saya dengan dunia perlembagaan atau undang-undang ini.
Ramai di kalangan masyarakat tidak mampu memahami undang-undang yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan itu sendiri.
Kita mesti memahami perlembagaan, maka mudah untuk kita bergerak atau melakukan apa sahaja aktiviti dan tidak akan bercanggah dengan perlembagaan.
Ramai di kalangan kita, memang boleh bercakap, tetapi mereka tidak merujuk kepada perlembagaan, malah ada di kalangan kita, tanpa segan silu melanggar perlembagaan semata-mata untuk mengiyakan pandangan atau perbuatan mereka.
