Throughout the history of mankind, people have been on a constant path of pursuing equality, freedom, and human dignity.

Freedom, and the respect of basic human rights are widely regarded as a universal value worth upholding by many. Lest we forget, the freedom that we enjoy today are owed to those who came before us.

We are now proud to present to you an exhibition dedicated to “FREEDOM”.

This exhibition will be divided into various sections, allowing visitors to visualise and understand the concept of freedom, to revisit the path that leads to where we are at today, and to reflect on what is freedom, and what it means to us.

Freedom is not free, however this exhibition is!

简介：
首相安华日前表示将不遵守竞选宣言，即不废除《1971年大专法令》，仅会修改特定条文以赋予学生更多权利。这个决定引来学生群体和公民社会的强烈抨击。

数十年来，大专法令不仅钳制大专生和学术人员的思想自由，也屡次被援引来对付学生运动领袖。国阵政府也多次使用内安法令逮捕批判政府的各校园学运积极分子。

大专法令的废除或改革，不仅仅要在制度上恢复校园自主和保障思想自由，也应该从转型正义的框架思索。曾经受难的学生运动积极分子，应该受到承认、获得赔偿和政府的公开道歉。

这个座谈会讲叙述跨越了数十年，几代的学运分子与恶法之间的故事。

曾遭迫害的七十年代学运积极分子，以及来自公立和私立学府的现役学运分子，将为大众分享大专法令和其它恶法的弊端。他们将评论团结政府对《大专法令》提出的改革方案，以及落实转型正义所需要的条件。

简介：
配合今年的世界反对死刑日，亚洲反对死刑网络（ADPAN）将放映一部由李家骅导演拍摄的台湾纪录片，名为《我的儿子是死刑犯》。

“死刑犯” 是司法给予这群人的的标签，但这三个人作为人的身分却总为人所漠视，他们的至亲所背负的痛，更从来无人知晓。

长期关注司法议题的李家骅导演，以纪录片形式访问了三位死刑犯或他们的家人，试图摆脱过往媒体对死刑犯的刻板印象与偏见，让大家看见在「死刑犯」标签之后，他们也同样是个「人」。

Malaysia has never been at peace with itself, and we are still facing a dilemma – politically, economically, socially, culturally. But perhaps, the biggest political dilemma facing our nation today, is that we are being asked to choose between two political coalitions which have proven to be equally disappointing.

Neither coalition is willing to seriously tackle the thorny issue that plunged the country into a dysfunctional funk, ie. that of racial polarisation, exacerbated by the New Economic Policy post May 13th, 1969 and the dominant ethnically skewed neo-liberal policies focus on self-serving short-term gains and thus fail to address complex systemic issues: climate crisis, wealth inequality, land use, water, and food security by protecting our environment and public resources for future generations.

‘The Malaysian Dilemma: My Memoir & Manifesto’ follows Kua Kia Soong’s extraordinary life journey as an activist, an educationist, and a social scientist, where he dedicates himself to resolve this ‘Malaysian Dilemma’. His memoir weaves together the threads of his lived experience as a citizen of Malaysia, in many respects, not unlike that of all the other ‘non-Bumiputeras’ in the country. As a passionate thinker, writer, and activist, he reflects on his life as a Malaysian human rights defender and civil rights activist. His book is also written as a manifesto for our young Malaysians in the hope that they will succeed in resolving this challenge in the not-too-distant future.

KLSCAH Youth cordially invites you to join us in our two-part event: The launching of ‘The Malaysian Dilemma: My Memoir & Manifesto’ and subsequently a public forum, where esteemed panelists will discuss what is to be done in the next General Election to resolve the ‘Malaysian Dilemma’.

Light refreshment will be served, and a special discount is available on the book during the event. This event is co-sponsored by Gerak Budaya.
