Govt Wrapping Up Study On Freedom Of Information Act Says Ramkarpal


 
Deputy law and institutional reform minister Ramkarpal Singh said they were also studying the need to establish an Information Commission as an independent watchdog to regulate the Freedom of Information law.PETALING JAYA: The legal affairs division of the Prime Minister’s Department is in the final stages of completing policy research for the drafting of a Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill, says deputy law and institutional reform minister Ramkarpal Singh.
Ramkarpal said the department had organised a programme today to engage with the enforcement, security and defence agencies on the legislation.
He said the objective of today’s programme was to clarify the implications of the FOI legislation on these agencies.

Ramkarpal said the department would also obtain additional input on questions related to the limitations and advantages of enacting the FOI law, challenges in implementation and whether it would contradict the Official Secrets Act or other similar Acts.
“The government is also examining a proposal to establish an Information Commission as an independent watchdog responsible for regulating FOI, hearing appeals and ensuring compliance with the Act,” Ramkarpal added.
He said, in principle, all government agencies agreed that FOI would benefit vulnerable groups and have positive impact on socio-economic development.
Ramkarpal said the government would need to continue holding engagement sessions with various stakeholders to ensure no party was excluded.
“This study must take into account the government’s current policy as well as existing laws. It also needs to look at the best practices of legal models in other countries,” he said.
Ads by KioskedOn July 11, 2018, the Cabinet agreed to enact the FOI law at the federal level.
In September, the Center to Combat Corruption & Cronyism (C4) had questioned when the government planned to enact the FOI legislation.
It noted that then law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar had in June confirmed that discussions on the proposed law had been completed and that recommendations would be presented to Putrajaya “soon”.
C4 said an FOI Act would ensure government institutions provided information to citizens when requested, adding that this was a matter listed under Malaysia’s National Anti-Corruption Plan. - FMT
