Freedom of Information Bill : Good move but still some shortcomings

Selangor Pakatan Rakyat government need to be complimented with the introduction...and tabling of the 

In the Malaysiakini report, S'gor tables ground-breaking FOI Bill, there is an interesting sidebar of a provision in the Official Secrets Act - which clearly states that the Menteri Besar/Chief Minister can very easily declassify documents marked 'secret' - Have the Pakatan Rakyat states done this yet, and what are the documents declassified? If you truly want to be open, transparent and make available all information to the people, then you would have done this - and you would have made available to the public - posted it all on websites.

Now, is the Selangor Government ...and the other Pakatan Rakyat ready to be totally transparent, open...or not? Or, is this all just another 'political gimmick'? I believe, what they have done is a very good first step ... but there are concerns about how they did it? And also the contents of the Bill itself.

JUDICIAL REVIEW - just like the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional, they too are attempting to oust access to the Judiciary. The final decision is an 'executive decision' - and persons not happy can take the matter up for judicial review to allow the courts to review the validity of the decision to refuse to give the sought after information (or to allow to give it.) Let us not forget that the Judiciary is an important 3rd branch of government, and it has a very important role, one of which to determine the correctness of a decision by the executive. Today, many of the Malaysian laws passed under the UMNO-led BN majority in Parliament denies access to judicial review - No one is permitted the decision of the Minister.And sadly, this Selangor FOI Bill has a similar provision. Clause 14(13) must be removed - so that the right to go for a judicial review shall be returned to the people.

Clause 14(13) - Without provisions for judicial review, the Minister ...or this An order by the Appeal Board on an appeal before it shall be final, shall not be called into question in any court, and shall be binding on all parties to the appeal or involved in the matter [The Bill is in Malaysiakini]

APPEAL BOARD - there is supposed to be a Charman and a Deputy Chairman  & up to a maximum of 6 other persons. 

How are they selected? It is by the State Authority - what about an independent selection committee? What about people having a part to play in the process? It is odd that civil society (and also the Opposition Political Parties) have been campaigning for a more transparent independent appointment process for Judges, etc... and here, it just again following the UMNO-led BN style.

Security of Tenure - This is one of the safeguards to ensure independence of persons sitting in a judicial capacity, like this 'Appeal Board', and the Bill states that their term is 'for such period not exceeding 3 years..' (Clause 14[3]). What does this mean? 1 year...6 months..3 years - Let us be very definite, and say that it shall be for 3 years. There really should be no provision for re-appointment - as this may affect their 'independence' as they may be 'pro-State Authority' because they want to be re-appointed. A fixed definite term is best. Remember that there is the possibility of  removal of a member of  the Appeal Board

Removal of Member of the Appeal Board - in the Bill, they call it 'revocation of appointment'. Look at Clause 14[4] - the State Authority can do it at any time 'without assigning any reason therefore'. Arbitrary or what? Surely, there must be a proper procedure for removal of a member of the Appeal Board which provides for a fair opportunity to defend oneself, and a right to know the reasons for such removal. Grounds for removal should also best be stated - i.e. misconduct, non-disclosure of interest, etc...or maybe because he jumped to another party..mmm

When it sits, it is an undemocratic Appeal Board - and all power rests with the Chairman.  Look at Clause 14(9) - "Every decision shall be made by the Chairman..." Even if the other 2 members of the sitting Appeal Board says that the information shall be provided, the Chairman can still decide that the applicant shall not be provided with the said information. Only time, the Chairman has to give reasons is when the other 2 is against him. This is a mockery. All members of the panel shall have one vote and the majority wins. The present operation of the Appeal Board is certainly undemocratic - and it is so feudal. 

Chairman of Appeal Board chooses the other 2 - see Clause 14(6). Should it not be random? We could get a situation where the same 2 members are chosen, and that pro-transparency members of the Board are always side-lined...because the Chairman did not choose them. Is that the idea? I just believe that they did not apply much thought when the drafted this clause.

Appeal Board can't even see the relevant 'document' - see clause 14(10)(d). Person applies for Document A. Information Officer says cannot. Person appeals to Appeal Board - but it looks like the Appeal Board also cannot have sight of the said document, and if so how does it review the decision of the Information Officer. How will it decide whether the rejection was acceptable or not. Even, in Criminal Procedure, when the accused is not provided with statements made by witnesses, they could apply for statement for the purposes of impeaching the witness, and the court will look at the statement (whilst not providing it to the accused) and make a decision. But, here even those 'judges' in the Appeal Board do not have a right to see the most relevant document that is the subject of the appeal.

There are other comments that I would like to make about the said FOI Bill of Selangor, which I shall leave for a later date.

It is disappointing that the Bill was not circulated first for feedback and comments - and was suddenly tabled in the State Legislative Assemble. They could have even asked the Malaysian Bar to help...and I am sure that the Bar would have been ever ready to assist. There are so many human rights activist (and ex-human rights activists), lawyers, etc in the government and the party who should really have been consulted before coming out with this Bill.

As I mentioned earlier, the intent is praiseworthy - but really, there much work to be done on the Bill.. The access to information must be easy, uncomplicated and swift. There also is a need for a list of available documents made available somewhere....and some of these must already be available to the public in the relevant websites...

The Selangor government has tabled the much-touted Freedom of Information Bill. If passed, it would guarantee public access to state government documents.

In tabling the Bill for its first reading today, state exco member Elizabeth Wong (left) said this is a significant step for the state and is part of Pakatan Rakyat's efforts to instill good governance and transparency.

“Through this Bill, the people of Selangor will be restored their rights, which were theirs to begin with,” she said.

“Every citizen has a right to get information from all state government departments. We don't deny that this is a heavy responsibility for the government and its administration, but this is what having 'ketuanan rakyat' and reform means.”

The summary of the Bill describes it as a move to 'enhance disclosure of information for the public interest, to provide every individual an opportunity to access to information made by every department of the state government'.

The Bill seeks to create the post of one information officer for each state department, to assist the public in accessing the requested documents.

The information officer will be required to respond within 30 days or in urgent cases, within seven days.

Public access to state government information will be limited to any relevant written law, such as the Official Secrets Act.

Opposition: FOI 'unconstitutional'

The Bill is expected to go through the first and second readings during the ongoing state assembly sitting, before it is forwarded to a select committee for public consultation, research and study.

The select committee will be chaired by Saari Sungib (PAS-Hulu Kelang) who will be assisted by six committee members.

The committee members are: Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (PKR-Seri Setia), Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi (PAS-Sijangkang), Amiruddin Shari (PKR-Batu Caves), Hannah Yeoh (DAP-Subang Jaya), Dr Karim Mansor (BN-Tanjung Sepat) and Abdul Shukur Idrus (BN-Kuang).

The select committee is expected to table its findings, recommendations and any revisions on the Bill to the House for the third reading no later than April next year.

Debating the Bill, Sulaiman Abdul Razak (BN-Permatang) said the proposed law is unconstitutional and violates the government's rights to keep secrets.

Sulaiman (right) said such powers should be vested in the federal government and that the state should have no say. - Malaysiakini, 14/7/2010, S'gor tables ground-breaking FOI Bill

The Freedom of information (FOI) legislation however does not apply to federally-controlled departments in Selangor and documents classified under OSA.

What is freedom of information?

Freedom of information (FOI) legislation sets rules on access to information or records held by government bodies. In general, such laws define a legal process by which government information is required to be available to the public. FOI legislation is supported by many around the world as a means to promote transparency and curb corruption.

Over 70 countries around the world including China, India and Thailand have implemented some form of such legislation, and other countries are working towards introducing such laws. Malaysia remains one of the last that has not implemented a national FOI law.

What does the Freedom of Information (Selangor) Enactment 2010 provide for?

The enactment acts to "enhance disclosure of information for the public interest, to provide to every individual an opportunity to access to information made by every department of the state government." It serves to enhance, enable and facilitate access to information held by the state.

Note, that this enactment only applies to the state government of Selangor and its subsidiary departments. It does not apply to federally-controlled departments in Selangor or bearing the Selangor name. Documents classified under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) will remain as such.

How are applications for information made?

Every government department is to have an information officer who shall serve as an intermediary between the department and the public in order to assist access to information.

Applications for information are made to the respective information officers, who have to respond within 30 days, or within seven days for urgent cases. Applications have to state a reason and purpose. A reasonable fee may be necessary for duplication of the document.

Is personal information protected under the proposed bill?

Personal information of individual third parties is protected under the Bill. A department can refuse to release information, or refuse to reveal the existence of information, if it is the personal information of a third party.

For example, one's personal address, information involving an actionable breach of confidence and trade secrets cannot be disclosed. This does not apply should the third party consent to the release of said information.

Are there any special provisions for applications by the illiterate or disabled?

Yes. Anyone who is unable to provide a written application because of illiteracy or disability can make an oral application.

Are there any restrictions on the information available?

Yes. If the information sought is subject to any written law, then access to that information shall be subject to such law(s). The Official Secrets Act, for example, still applies. However, it should be noted that the OSA does not cover all government information.

The FOI Bill facilitates public access to other such information provided it does not jeopardise the reasonable and secure operation of the state or its departments. Applications may be refused if the person is not entitled to such information (legally or otherwise), or if the information does not exist or is not under the control of the department.

Vexatious, unreasonable or repetitive applications can also be refused.

Can appeals be made against refusals of applications?

Yes. A Board of Appeal shall be established comprising of ex-judges and/or advocates or solicitors with suitable qualifications and experience. Appeals are to be made within 21 days of decision.

When will the bill come into effect?

The process for the bill is as follows:

1) tabled for first and second readings at the July 2010 State Assembly;

2) public consultation, research and study via a select committee;

3) the select committee will table its findings, recommendations and/or revisions to the House for the third reading. This is expected to be no later than April 2011.

The final bill will therefore be a product of the executive, the legislative, and the people of Selangor.
