Teaching women to save their own lives

Free workshop: Teaching women to save their own lives
Date: Saturday 28 August 2010
Time: 9am - 11am
Venue: Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) auditorium in Pandan IndahLocation map at bottom:

A woman living in the city is exposed to all sorts of threats daily. Snatch thieves, robbers, rapists and even Peeping Toms. There is no denying that women are seen as “easy targets.”

Now two men — Pandan MP Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat and safety activist Captain K. Balasupramaniam — want to help teach women how to survive in the city.

Ong is organising a free workshop on city survival skills this Saturday in his constituency, together with non-governmental organisations Yayasan Bakti Nusa Malaysia and Persatuan Belia Rakan Nusa.

Balasupramaniam said that the all-women workshop this Saturday would centre on things like voyeurism, snatch theft, house burglaries, rape, sexual harassment and even how to withdraw money safely from an ATM machine.

He pointed out that the workshop was restricted to women as some men may misuse the training to hurt women instead.

“We will teach them how to detect two-way mirrors in changing rooms and what to do if a man drags you into a room (to rape you),” said Balasupramaniam, who has trained over 100,000 women in the past 11 years.

Balasupramaniam added that he would even share basic safety tips like describing a taxi driver and noting down the number plate of the taxi aloud to a friend on the phone when travelling alone.

“If you do all that, do you think the taxi driver will dare abduct you?” asked Balasupramaniam.

The city survival skills programme will be held at the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) auditorium in Pandan Indah this Saturday from 9am till 1pm. Admission is open to females aged 13 years and above.

The 5th National Congress of Integrity

The National Congress on Integrity (NCOI) has been organized annually since 2005 by the NGO, OHMSI Sdn. Bhd. This year the 5th NCOI on 16th September will be on the theme: Truth Matters: Integration with Integrity. The event this year will be co-organized by UCSI, IAIS, MAFa and a growing list of civil groups with common ground concerns.

Common Ground Dialogue – 13th May 2010

In preparation for the Congress, a Common Ground Dialogue session will be held on 13 May to evolve a very clear problem definition of the challenge of UNITY in Malaysia.

The theme for this dialogue session will be: The Challenge of Forging Unity in Malaysia. The objective is to create a civil society initiative which will be to seek to clarify the current Government’s 1Malaysia Agenda and work towards a common ground of unity in thoughts and deeds, or intents and actions at least amongst the participating key stakeholders.

The main outcome will be a priority listing of the top 5 common issues of concern pertaining to unity in Malaysia. These issues and concerns will then be subject of discussion at the Congress on 16th September, from which a summary of recommendations will be compiled for submission to the Government as a Civil Society document of the policy issues related to the challenges of forging unity in Malaysia.

It is anticipated that the summary document representing the considered deliberations of a multiethnic citizenry within a common purpose and ground will provide real alternatives for future action in the growth and development of our nation.

Please find details of the Dialogue and register electronically by going to www.OHMSI.net and clicking the 5th NCOI.

Media Awareness Workshop - George Town, Penang

Media Awareness Workshop:

Media, Democracy and Human Rights
Sunway Hotel Georgetown,
Lorong Baru,
10450 Pulau Pinang,
Saturday,7th March 2009 from 8.30am -5.30pm,
sponsored by the Canadian High Commission.

The workshop is primarily for young people, from upper secondary schools and colleges and higher learning institutions, given that this is the generation that is most exposed to and influenced by the media in their daily lives.

The workshop aims to raise the level of awareness of participants in 3 areas
· the various aspects of the media industry in Malaysia ,
· the laws and other restrictions that affect the media industry and democracy,
· how to critically ‘read’ the media.
The workshop is structured in a manner which will allow for input from the speakers as well as active participation by the participants. There will be break-up sessions to encourage participants ‘read critically’ the content of the media. Comparisons will also be made between mainstream media and the Internet media

It is hoped that such ‘media awareness’ or ‘media literacy’ would empower young people as active citizens of a democracy to demand real changes in the way the news is reported.

As places are limited, registration prior to the workshop is required. The registration fee for the workshop is RM10/- only. This can be given as cash or in a cheque made out to Aliran and sent to Aliran at 103 Medan Penaga, Jelutong 11600, Penang by the 28th of February, 2009.

For further information please contact Evelyn at the Aliran office at 04-6585251.
