The protection of basic human rights is enshrined in Constitution of Malaysia. These include liberty of the person (Article 5) and prohibition of slavery and forced labour (Article 6). At the national level, legislative measures that exist to prevent human rights violations and abuses can be found in acts and laws on issues that either have a human rights component or relate to certain groups of society whose rights may be at risk of being violated. Human rights groups are generally critical of the Malaysian government and the Royal Malaysia Police.
Preventive detention laws such as the Internal Security Act 1960 and the Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance 1969 allow for detention without trial or charge and as such are a source of concern for human rights organizations like Suara Rakyat Malaysia.[1] However, the Internal Security Act 1960 has been repealed and replaced by SOSMA in 2012[2][3] and the 1969 Emergency Ordinance has lapsed following the annulment of three Emergency Proclamations in 2011.[4][5]
