The Bar Council MyConstitution Campaign (“Campaign”) aims to instil awareness and educate the rakyat on the Federal Constitution.
Why are we doing this? Our government has to run our country based on the Federal Constitution, as it is the highest law of the land. The Federal Constitution defines the framework of our country’s political, judicial and legislative systems. It also tells us what our rights are as rakyat of Malaysia. Therefore, we believe that it is important for all Malaysians to understand what the Federal Constitution means and what it is all about. See it as a manual that comes with any equipment you buy. In order to use the equipment properly, you need to read and understand the manual.
To date, we have launched seven phases successfully, each exploring a specific theme of the Federal Constitution. These seven phases have taken us on exhilarating journeys throughout the country. Since its inception, the Campaign has moved from the capital of Malaysia, up north to Alor Setar, Kedah, and down south to Johor Bahru, Johore. We have left footprints on the idyllic cities of Kuching, Sarawak, and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, and the Orang Asal settlements in Raub, Pahang, and Tapah, Perak.

We have now arrived at the 8th Phase of the Campaign, entitled “The Rakyat & Fundamental Liberties”.
The Bar Council Constitutional Law Committee is indeed proud to work with the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Malaysia, “SUHAKAM”) to launch Phase 8 of the Campaign. This collaboration is a testimony of how non–governmental and civil society organisations should, and can, work together towards a common cause: enlightening and empowering the rakyat with knowledge of the fundamental rights accorded to them under the Federal Constitution.
The long–awaited launch will take place at the Bar Council Auditorium at 10:00 am, on 10 Dec 2010, to coincide with International Human Rights Day. The 8th Rakyat Guide themed “The Rakyat & Fundamental Liberties” will be made public and the 8th Rakyat Service Advertisement will be officially aired.
Fellow citizens, mark your diaries and help us to spread the word now! We look forward to seeing you at our Campaign launch on 10 December!
