I am glad that SUARAM has remained steadfast in the human rights struggle.  The Report is also evidence of SUARAM’s tenacity and dedication in making Malaysia a better place for all of us. SUARAM’s Report has demonstrated what Malaysia has achieved, but also serves to remind us how much more we have to do ahead.  It must be read.‘, writes Edmund Bon Tai Soon, Representative of Malaysia to the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) in the foreword of SUARAM‘s Malaysia Human Rights Report 2016.
