The Bar Council MyConstitution Campaign aims to instill awareness and educate the rakyat on the Federal Constitution.

Why are we doing this?  As the highest law of the land, our government has to run our country based on the Federal Constitution. The Federal Constitution defines the framework of our country’s political, judicial and legislative systems. It also tells us what our rights are as a rakyat of Malaysia. Therefore, we believe that it is important for all Malaysian to understand what the Federal Constitution means and what it is all about. See it as a manual that comes with any equipment you buy. In order to use the equipment properly, you need to read and understand the manual.

To date, we have launched seven phases successfully; each exploring a specific theme of the Federal Constitution. These seven phases have taken us through exhilarating journeys throughout the country. Since its inception, the campaign has moved from the capital of Malaysia, up north to Alor Star, Kedah and down south to Johor Bahru. We have left our footprints on the idyllic cities of Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, and to the Orang Asal settlements in Raub, Pahang and Tapah, Perak.  

We have now arrived at Phase 8 of the MyConstitution Campaign: The Rakyat & Fundamental Liberties.

The Bar Council Constitutional Law Committee is indeed proud to work with the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) to launch Phase 8 of the Campaign. This collaboration is a testimony of how non-governmental and civil society organisations should and can work together towards a common cause; enlightening and empowering the Rakyat with knowledge of the fundamental rights accorded to them under the Federal Constitution.
