Today, December 10, is UN's World Human Rights Day, an institutionalised convention adopted over half-a-century ago in 1950.

Today also marks the anniversary of the UN Assembly's adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, three years after the end of WWII.

Talking on Al-Jazeera

Today, I have an appointment with Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) at 2pm.

In a telephone conversation last Friday afternoon, ASP Tan Tin Heng said he was making arrangement for the 111 to be delivered to me by this morning.

Under Criminal Procedure Code, the Police has the power to require attendance of witnesses in their investogations. Under Section 111 of the code, an order in writing shall be issued to the witness. Under Section 112, a Police officer may examine the witness orally pertaining to the investigations. Section 113 refers to the conditions underwhich related statements can be admitted as evidence.

I was made to understand that Bukit Aman CCID requires my attendance of witness pertaining to three groups who were against “a statement issued by Ooi to an Al Jazeera reporter”, and that they wanted this blogger investigated.

I have yet to sight the FIR (First Information Report), but there is a news item on this in The New Straits Times (November 18).

One of the parties which lodged the Police report was purported to be the Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association (PPIM), a company that claims to be a consumer protection group and yet involving itself in partisan endorsement of selected commercial brands and receiving taxpayers-funded grants from one particular Ministry. It's official website is illustrative of its myriad operations as an entity labelled as consumer advocate.

More on this at the right time.
