EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS AWARDS In conjunction with World Human Rights Day on 10 December, the Commission presented its inaugural Human Rights Awards. This was to acknowledge and honour outstanding contributions of individuals and organisations who have contributed much energy and effort to the promotion and protection of human rights. Nominations were invited for three different categories - Community Award (Individual), the Community Award (Organisation) and the Media Award. The winners were Ms Tijah Yok Chopil for her active contribution to the Orang Asli communities; SUARAM for its relentless campaigns to promote equal rights; and Ms Selina Kong Lik Hwan (Siasat, Mandarin Edition, NTV7) for her report, ‘Young Maid for Sale 1’. In addition, the Commission presented a Special Award to the Integrity Schools established by the Prison Department for championing and defending the rights of juvenile offenders to education. 12
