3. HUMAN RIGHTS CORNER
SUHAKAM’s activities to raise public awareness through the Human Rights
Corner (HR Corner) programme focused on the setting up of human
rights corners in various locations and agencies. In addition to the two HR
Corners set up last year, another HR Corner was established this year at the
Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department Library, Putrajaya HQ.
We also received requests from several other agencies to set up a Human
Rights Corner for them but were unable to do so due to the CMCO. This
effort will continue in 2021.

THE WAY FORWARD
SUHAKAM urges the government to recognise the importance of human rights
issues as part of the government’s regular affairs, especially in parliamentary
debates.
It is also hoped that a good number of agreements to set up Human Rights
Corner can be implemented next year.
