Thousands of Malaysian opposition demonstrators marched in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday against suspected corruption in Prime Minister Najib Razak’s government, a day after the protest organizer was arrested on charges of subverting democracy.
Malaysia’s constitution is no longer functional. Malaysia has always touted Eastern values at the expense of universal values, and now it is clear that the nation’s autocratic culture is deep-rooted and stale. The answer is constitutional reform to make it more modern and up to date. Term limits for the Prime Minister should be one year, and Members of Parliament should not be allowed to run again after leaving office. For more see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
