Interesting insights from minister Azalina. PSA is on the table, the separation of AG and independent PP will take about 1 year as it's currently under research. WPBA amendments are on track. Speaker Johari wants to increase fines of up to RM10000 for unparliamentary behaviour. however former speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff, caused a small reaction when he said now is not the time to remove sedition act and Sosma. I do believe Minister Azalina has got her priorities and vision right in terms of nation building, the question is how many other MPs will show the same interest in pushing for reforms. Personally we need to shift parliament from a part time institution to a full time law making body. The three sittings in a year is insufficient, hardly any time to debate and push for law reforms. MPs should be full time and not part timers when they are dealing with issues or policies that affect the entire nation.

Good questions from China law scholar Jerome Cohen. Can anyone send him any answers? By Jerome A. Cohen The new regulations on discipline from the CCP's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are fascinating and worthy of serious research. How are targets of discipline selected? Is the clause on prohibited reading merely used as an add-on in cases where other charges are brought or is it sometimes applied independently? What procedures apply and how is evidence introduced and evaluated? What Communist Party and administrative sanctions are applied in what circumstances? To what extent does the CCDI system send cases to the courts for criminal punishments? To what extent does the CCDI system influence the handling of such criminal cases by the police, the procuracy and the courts? I believe that, under the awning of the National Supervisory Commission, certain non-Party members are also subject to these strictures if they are government officials of one kind or other. Is there anyone out there who knows and is free to tell us? It must be a matter of considerable interest to the millions who are subject to this discipline. https://lnkd.in/dVWBwfNe

Regardless of rhetorical and vane discourses in Mexico, the self-evident fact is a pyramidal organization of loyal (to the top leader and because of their franchise to keep some of the swag) public and elected officials, from federal to state and local agencies, to use public services as merchandise to be provided in return for a percentage of the deal or an established bribe. Pharaonic presumable infrastructure initiatives serve the purpose of facades of negative payback and destructive occurrences that are used to shamelessly steal taxpayers’ money. Besides said pillage, protection and association with organized crime, provide an extra not despicable, and to some extent untraceable, cash source from black taxes that in return allow these “allies” to expand and continue “working”. The systematic destruction of counter-balanced pillars of legality and democracy clearly shows the autocratic reality. The challenge is for citizens to face the situation and fill ballots with a straight and clear condemnation message that takes out delinquency as a form of alleged “government”.

Our article is finally out (German Law Journal , Volume 24 , Issue 9 , December 2023, pp. 1648-1676): The concern about political parties undermining democracy while tolerated by democracy is not new. Historically, the scrutiny has been on fascism before and during WWII as well as communist parties during the Cold War. Lately, the disquieting rise in populism on the right and on the left in Europe, the US, and in other areas of the globe has reintroduced the debate. This is, therefore, an auspicious time to get a handle of the state of the debate. There are so many important questions: Are and should political parties be mentioned or protected by the constitution? They are not in the US, for example. Are political parties any different from other freedoms of association? Not in the US or in the UK before the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. How can or should constitutional democracies deal with potentially anti-democratic activities by political parties? This can be envisaged as a broader constitutional question—e.g., political parties undermining democracy, or a narrower criminal question—e.g., addressing illegal funding, money laundering, corruption, and so on. https://lnkd.in/dfiy2ypU
