The recent circulation of photographs of a Selangor Executive Council Member and her subsequent resignation raise a plethora of issues regarding the right to personal privacy, the link between a politician’s private and public life and whether enough legal safeguards exist to protect an individual’s right to privacy.
In order to examine these issues, the Bar Council is organising a public forum entitled “Privacy: Does it exist in Malaysia? Is it time to legislate?”
The public forum will take place as follows:
Date : 27 February 2009 (Friday)
Time : 5.00 – 7.30 pm
Venue : Bar Council Auditorium
13, 15 and 17 Leboh Pasar Besar
