  • Suara Rakyat Malaysia, better known by its abbreviation SUARAM (Malay for "Voice of the Malaysian People"), is a human rights organisation in Malaysia created in 1987 after Operation Lalang, when 106 opposition, unions, activist leaders were detained without trial under the Internal Security Act. In 1989, the detainee support group, ISA detainees and other activist groups decided to form SUARAM, whose primary object was to campaign for the abolition of the ISA and detention without trial. SUARAM later evolved into other areas of human rights and environmental rights. Suaram is considered one of the leading human rights organisations in Malaysia. Other general human rights organisations in Malaysia include the Penang-based Aliran Kesedaran Negara (ALIRAN), HAKAM (National Human Rights Society) and many others. Suaram has often worked with these organisations on a minimal platform of co-operation on issues such as the abolishment of the Internal Security Act (ISA) and electoral reform. The secretariat in KL also publishes an annual report on the status of civil and political rights in Malaysia since 1998. Suaram is a founding member of the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA). According to SUARAM's website, "SUARAM is an independent and a human rights organisation which is not linked to any other agencies. We will always be on the side of victims of human rights violations, the poor and the oppressed, without fear or favour. Its mandate is enshrined in the Malaysian Human Rights Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Thus SUARAM's main objective is the protection and realisation of human rights in Malaysia regardless of the government-of-the-day."(http://www.suaram.net/?page_id=4377) SUARAM is funded by donations and grants from public and private sources. However, the most important source comes from private donations, local fund-raising events, sales of books and campaign merchandise. Funds are accepted strictly on the basis of non-interference of donors. (en)
  • 人民之声(SUARAM,Suara Rakyat Malaysia),是一个成立于1989年的马来西亚人权组织,由一群社会运动活跃分子以及他们的支持者共同创立。其首要任务是争取废除《内安法令》,另外,也参与其他各类型提倡人权运动。 从1998年开始,人民之声每年出版《马来西亚人权报告》,监督马来西亚的人权进程。从1999年开始,人民之声颁发“人权奖”给在各社区争取人权的人士,其中废除内安法令联盟(Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA,简称GMI)获得2009年人民之声人权奖 [1] (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆);兴权会和砂拉越州本南族获得2008年人民之声人权奖;武吉日落洞(Bukit Jelutong Rasak)园丘工人和缅甸钦族难民委员会(Chin Refugee Committee)获得2006年的人民之声人权奖。[2] (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆)。 人民之声总部设于雪兰莪,1999年成立柔佛支部,2002年又成立槟城支部。目前,人民之声的执行总监是叶瑞生。 国内贸易、合作社及消费部长拿督斯里依斯迈沙比里在2012年9月,出席大马知识产权局(MyIPO)开斋节亲善宴会時指出,政府已掌握多个可以证明人民之声(SUARAM)的资金是来自外国援助的文件,但由于有关文件的电邮来源相同,所以必须在调查后,才能得知真相。 马来西亚马来人网络(JMM)主席拿督莫哈末哈法里占揭露美国国家民主基金会(NED),于2005年至2011年期間,資助人民之声159萬8045令吉,而且资金來源与股坛狙击手索罗斯有关系。 (zh)
