MyConsti Event: ‘Constitutional Institutions and the Separation of Powers’

by Nathaniel Tan

Just a quick shout out for the MyConsti Campaign, which is having another event this Friday :) Check it out!

You have probably heard of the MyConstitution Campaign’s successful launch on 13 Nov 2009 (For those who have not, click here for a web report on the launch).

The launch was a blast with more than 250 guests packing the Bar Council’s Auditorium. Since then, the Campaign has been well-received by many sectors of society including the government, as expressed by Datuk Liew Vui Keong, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, who officiated the launch.

The Campaign is now entering its 2nd phase, which involves the launch of the 2nd booklet: The Rakyat Guides entitled ‘Constitutional Institutions and the Separation of Powers’ and the release of the 2nd Rakyat Service Advertisement. A forum ‘Conversations on the Constitution: What is the Separation of Powers?’ co-hosted with Sunway University College will follow.

The details of the launch and forum are as follows:

Date: 15 Jan 2010 (Friday)
Venue: Auditorium, Sunway University College, No. 5, Jalan Universiti, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya
Time: 4:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Panelists: (1) YB Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi bin Tuanku Jaafar (Deputy Speaker, Dewan Rakyat)
(2) Cabinet Minister
(3) Judge
Moderator: Dato’ VC George (Retired Court of Appeal Judge and former Bar Council Chairman)

Everyone is invited to attend this event, which we promise will be better than our first launch! Your collective presence will mark the start of an exciting and meaningful year as you join us in our Campaign to promote constitutionalism and the rule of law at a critical time of our nation’s history.
