Malaysia: Stop Restricting Freedom of Expression

Everyone has the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas without fear or interference. 

The right to freedom of expression is important for the personal development and dignity of every individual, and it is essential for the fulfilment of other human rights. However, Malaysia retains multiple pieces of legislation that continue to repress and silence Freedom of Expression. 

Sign our petition and ask Malaysia to repeal laws that restrict freedom of expression.

Demand Justice for Teoh Beng Hock – End Impunity and Ensure Accountability Within Law Enforcement Agencies 

On 16 July 2009, Teoh Beng Hock, a 30-year-old political aide, was found dead under suspicious circumstances on the fifth-floor rooftop of Plaza Masalam, beneath the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Selangor office, where he had been interrogated overnight as a witness in an investigation into alleged misuse of state funds. He was subjected to prolonged, late-night questioning without rest—an oppressive and unlawful practice. His death sparked national and international outrage, raising serious concerns about abuse of power, custodial violence, and the lack of accountability within law enforcement agencies.

Sign the petition and urge the Malaysian authorities to take immediate, transparent and meaningful action to ensure justice for Teoh Beng Hock.

Urge the Malaysian government to support the commutation of Pannir Selvam‘s death sentence in Singapore

Pannir Selvam is one of several Malaysian nationals currently on death row in Singapore. In 2017, aged 29, he was sentenced to the mandatory death penalty for importing just over 50g of diamorphine (heroin) – an offence that does not meet the threshold of the “most serious crimes” to which the use of the death penalty must be restricted under international law and standards.

Sign the petition and call on the Malaysian Minister of Foreign Affairs to intervene to secure the commutation of the death sentence imposed on Malaysian national Pannir Selvam and others facing execution in Singapore.
