“Malaysia should use its diplomatic influence to secure concrete protections for people fleeing Myanmar, rather than grant Min Aung Hlaing the prestige of an official visit while his military continues to attack civilians,” said Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar, former Malaysian Foreign Minister."

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man reads in a cosy armchair surrounded by books. "I've read so much." Panel 2: He looks wistful. "But lived so little." Panel 3: He throws open the curtains excitedly. "I bet a world of wonders awaits me outside!" Panel 4: Outside is total chaos – atomic cloud, buildings on fire, UFOs in the sky, lightning, people fleeing. He stares blankly.

Sixteen children are killed or injured every week in Ukraine. One in five children has lost a loved one. Four years of war has triggered a mental health crisis. With partners, World Vision Ukraine has supported 340,000+ people with mental health care. Support remains vital. #WMHD2026 #UkraineWar

Then the Malaysian government has frozen bank accounts of both MANDIRI & HAYAT (2 NGOs) as well as the accounts of some of their leadership under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing & Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. WTF?! www.facebook.com/acscapfmalay... 16/
Pic from ASEAN Civil Society Conference / ASEAN peoples forum, Malaysia
saying 
In solidarity with Mandiri & Hayat 

with pics of Amir hadi, executive director of Mandiri 
and Dobby Chew, Chieg executive director of Hayat who both had their bank accounts frozenASEAN Civil Society Conference/ASEAN People's Forum, Malaysia stands in solidarity with our fellow activists at Mandiri - Pusat Pembangunan Rakyat and HAYAT. 
The government has frozen the bank accounts of both organisations with no further explanations, whereas the personal accounts of Amir Hadi, Executive Director of MANDIRI, and Dobby Chew, Chief Executive Officer of HAYAT & Finance Director of MANDIRI were frozen under Section 44(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
Both human rights defenders also face travel bans, as Amir Hadi is restricted from leaving the country while Dobby Chew encountered difficulties entering Malaysia when he returned from Jakarta recently.
The arbitrary freezing of organisational and personal bank accounts, coupled with restrictions on freedom of movement, threatens the ability of civil society organisations to carry out their legitimate work. Such actions by the government raise serious concerns about due process, transparency, and the protection of fundamental freedoms. 
Civil society must not, and will not, be silenced through financial restrictions, intimidation, or arbitrary limitations on freedom of movement.
