Since the first launch of the MyConstitution Campaign on 13 Nov 2009, the Bar Council Constitutional Law Committee (“BCCLC”) has launched seven more phases periodically. Each launch was accompanied by a specific theme inspired by the Federal Constitution, and was supplemented by its very own Rakyat Guide booklet and Rakyat Service Advertisement.
On 2 Apr 2011 (Saturday), BCCLC will launch its 9th and final phase at Fort Cornwallis, Penang, at 12 noon. The launch will be officiated by YB Prof Dr P Ramasamy, Deputy Chief Minister II of Penang.
In addition to the 9th Rakyat Guide booklet and Rakyat Service Advertisement on “Elections and Democracy”, BCCLC has also produced a music album entitled “Radio Demokratika”*. The album contains 12 original songs, written and performed by 12 local independent bands. Each song resonates a message on human rights, fundamental liberties or democracy.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that BCCLC is organising a concert and carnival to celebrate the final phase of the MyConstitution Campaign. Some of the bands featured in the album will perform at the concert.
Many have asked, “Why a concert? What does it have to do with Bar Council?”
The reasons are:
better outreach to youths between the ages of 18 and 35 on the concept of elections and democracy;
improved awareness amongst local artists and youths on the concept of elections and democracy;
increased participation of youths in the Malaysian political process through the conduct of voter registration drive during the concert; and
greater media coverage and publicity for the MyConstitution Campaign.
Admission is free. Please come and join BCCLC for its final phase of the MyConstitution Campaign. It will be a fun, stimulating and uniquely refreshing experience. For more information, please click here to view the flyer.
Please contact Lim Ka Ea by telephone at 03-2231 7103 or 03-2031 3003 ext 127, or by email at kaea@malaysianbar.org.my, should you have any queries.
See you all there!
Thank you.

Registration Brochure
The actors need to stop screaming over the provisions of the Constitution;
It is timely now for us to look into the infringements of the provisions.
See, 15 students or more, being stopped from sitting for their year end public examinations;
How ill does this auger towards the provisions.
Such issues if allowed to propagate;
Would make the public not love, but simply hate.
Hating the Constitution;
Though knowing it does contain 'beautiful' provisions.
Do not negate the provisions;
Enliven the terms of our supposedly living Constitution.
Live up to the terms;
In that manner, all would learn.
Regards.
