Held on 15th May 2010 at Kompleks Masyarakat Penyayang Penang.
The Forum asserts that a truly democratic process based on principles of good governance has to be participatory, inclusive, transparent and accountable to ensure the proper functioning of an open society.
The Forum therefore demands that the Penang State Government take the necessary measures to introduce a Right to Information Bill in the State Assembly as soon as possible and to work towards its adoption in the said Assembly as well as its implementation in the practices of the Penang State Government and the various organisations under its administration.
The Forum further demands that the Federal Government of Malaysia take the necessary measures to introduce a Right to Information Bill in the Parliament as soon as possible and to work towards its adoption in the Parliament as well as its implementation in the practices of the Federal Government of Malaysia and the various organisations under its administration.
