The paper is aimed at discussing the Muslim men perceptions towards political participation among the Muslim women as based on the research data gathered from April 2002 to April 2003. In findings, it is concluded that the Muslim men do agree for the women to participate in politics. They do not oppose for the women to be appointed as representatives at Dewan Negara. However, for those women who are involved and aimed at the level of public decision-making or so-called Parliament House, some ‘qualifications’ constructed by them need ‘to pass’ before they are accepted to participate in it.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.  Author: Roslina Ismail.  [Download]

The paper points out the fact that what many female offenders in Malaysia and indirectly in Southeast Asia need is job opportunities as well as learning new skills. As factors that are related to recidivism are of the psychological and social nature, recidivists will require counseling and intervention. The paper also proposes that the social work profession and some non-governmental organizations could work hand in hand with the female prison authority to help in the “rehabilitation process??? and also the “aftercare??? of female prisoners.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.

In my paper, I consider the integration of rights, cultures and religion within a Malaysian context. I weigh the extent that this would: 1) challenge the universality and secularisation of the rights discourse and practice globally (in reference to Mahathir’s ‘Asian values’ concept); 2) bridge the disparity between the rhetoric and implementation of women’s-human rights in global and local contexts (within the trajectory of the Malaysian women’s movement from the 1980s); and 3) embody an Asian-Malaysian feminist standpoint epistemology that has the potential to reconcile the impasse of universal versus cultural relativism of rights.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.  Author: Bong, Sharon.  [Download]

In this research project we try to capture the negotiation of so called ‘universal’ ‘development concepts’ in Muslim countries by focusing on the networks and interactions of Women’s NGOs with other actors such as the state, other local civil society groups, and regional/international organisations.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.
