ANNUAL REPORT 2019 7 CHAPTER 1 SUHAKAM Commissioners with some of the children who presented copies of the Human Rights Module to them and the MOE before it was launched by MOE’s Director of School Management Division, Dato’ Mohd Jamil Mohamed, in conjunction with the International Human Rights Day celebration on 10 December. 4. Training of Trainers for UNISEL Lecturers The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between SUHAKAM and Universiti of Selangor (UNISEL) in 2017 provided for, among others, the introduction of a human rights course for UNISEL students as an elective subject. To ensure that the lecturers have sufficient human rights knowledge, SUHAKAM conducted a Training of Trainers (ToT) course for about 20 lecturers from UNISEL’s Faculty of General Studies at its Shah Alam campus from 26 - 27 February. The ToT was officiated by Commissioner Datuk Lok Yim Pheng and followed by a session on the ‘Introduction to Human Rights and the role of SUHAKAM’, ‘International Human Rights Treaties’, ‘Human Rights in the context of Malaysia’ and current human rights issues. The 2-day ToT ended with a visit to the Bukit Jalil Immigration Detention Centre to expose the participants to the reality of being held in a detention centre and the relevant human rights aspects. It was interesting to note that UNISEL started offering the human rights course in April 2019, and 34 diploma students were the first batch to take the course during the year.
