Book layout and cover design (my first!) for the annual Malaysia Human Rights Report from the most loved and important human rights NGO in Malaysia. Read a review of this book here.

The progressive bookstore, Gerakbudaya, describes it like so:

SUARAM’s annual report is the most objective, comprehensive and dependable source of information on the state of human rights in Malaysia. This edition reports on various areas and cases of the failure of state institutions to safeguard human rights.

In 2007 the government continued to drag its feet on the most crucial of 125 recommendations by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police. Draconian laws, such as the Internal Security Act, were used to detain individuals without trial. Other laws, including the Printing Presses and Publications Act and the Sedition Act were invoked to curb basic freedoms of expression, assembly, and association.

The politicisation of Islam in recent years has also resulted in violations of human rights. 2007 saw cases of persecution of Muslims who chose to renounce Islam or practice religious teachings other than Sunni Islam. We also document cases in which the rights of refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants in Malaysia were violated, in particular by the empowering of RELA volunteers as bounty hunters to round up “illegal immigrants”.
