FREEDOM OF SPEECH / FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION


FREEDOM OF SPEECH / FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak without censorship and/or limitation. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes used to indicate not only freedom of verbal speech but any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used [United Nations, 1966, 1976]. The right to freedom of speech is recognized as a human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognized in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR recognizes the right to freedom of speech as "the right to hold opinions without interference. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression". Furthermore freedom of speech is recognized in European, inter-American and African regional human rights law [United Nations, 1966, 1967]. Freedom of speech, or the freedom of expression, is recognized in international and regional human rights law. The right is enshrined in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 13 of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights [Andrew Puddephatt & Hodder Arnold, 2005; Kumar, Ambika, 2006].

In Islamic ethics freedom of speech was first declared in the Rashidun period by the caliph Umar in the 7th century. In the Abbasid Caliphate period, freedom of speech was also declared by al-Hashimi (a cousin of Caliph al-Ma'mun) in a letter to one of the religious opponents he was attempting to convert through reason.

According to George Makdisi and Hugh Goddard, "the idea of academic freedom" in universities was "modelled on Islamic custom" as practiced in the medieval Madrasah system from the 9th century. Islamic influence was "certainly discernible in the foundation of the first deliberately-planned university" in Europe [Boisard, Marcel A., 1980].

KPWKM sedia bekerjasama kaji isu perceraian
ROHANI: Tidak wajar bagi menyalahkan sesuatu pihak atau golongan tertentu yang menyebabkan berlakunya perceraian tanpa mengetahui punca sebenar.
KUALA LUMPUR: Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat (KPWKM) sedia bekerjasama dengan mana-mana agensi untuk membuat kajian bagi mengenal pasti masalah perceraian yang semakin meningkat dalam kalangan masyarakat di negara ini.

Menterinya, Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim berkata adalah tidak wajar bagi menyalahkan sesuatu pihak atau golongan tertentu yang menyebabkan berlakunya perceraian tanpa mengetahui punca sebenar.

Beliau diminta mengulas mengenai kenyataan Kongres Kesatuan Pekerja-pekerja Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (Cuepacs) baru-baru ini mengenai dakwaan kadar perceraian tertinggi bagi golongan kerja syif dalam sektor kesihatan awam berbanding sektor pekerjaan awam lain.

"Saya tidak boleh mengiakan atau menidakkan perkara ini sebab ia adalah kenyataan umum...kita perlu kaji dahulu, betul atau tidak dakwaan itu? Kalau betul ia di bawah Lembaga Penduduk Dan Pembangunan Keluarga Negara (LPPKN), mungkin kita boleh bekerjasama dengan Cuepacs untuk buat kajian," katanya pada sidang media selepas majlis penyampaian anugerah kepada beberapa syarikat, sempena Anugerah CSR Malaysia 2017 di sini, pada Khamis.


Sehubungan itu, tambah beliau, LPPKN iaitu agensi di bawah kementeriannya turut menganjurkan banyak program berunsurkan kekeluargaan dan rumahtangga seperti 2nd Honeymoon, Smart Start dan Therapy, yang mana ia antara satu penyelesaian yang boleh menyelamatkan sesuatu institusi rumahtangga sebelum berlaku perceraian....... - BERNAMA

Comments:  Here is the reality : 

 1- Husband is not responsible enough, just know how to make love, watch TV football, etc. but dont know how to take care children, lepas tangan, tell wife to cook, wash clothes, take care of children, etc. 

 2- Wife behaves like princess, still want to be treated like when they were 'honeymoon' time, refused to cook proper meal for husband, always eat OUT, children send to nursery, and no time even to check children homeworks from school.  

 3- Sometimes both husband or wife still behaves like they were "single" before, they refused to accept the reality of "married life and the new responsibilities", the husband/or wife will say, "saya nak BEBAS lah", "Nak pergi jumpa kawan I..." MORE talks like this will end up in DIVORCE.  

 4- ONE last advice, marriage life is - "shared responsibility" okay - not put everything on the shoulder of one spouse !!
