Why are relevant laws absent from state and local government websites?

Like the Federal Government, State government also passes law - and the public deserves to know these laws - for in all these laws, our rights will become clear.

When we go to the Pahang State Government website - we should be able to have look at all State laws, regulations, rules, etc... I visited the Pahang State Government website, and it was not there...

Likewise, when I visited the Temerloh Town Council, again the relevant laws are not there. What are the duties and obligations of the Town Council according to the law? I cannot find out ...

Now, when it comes to a Building Project Approval - there are laws about how the application is to be made, ...and more importantly who has a right to object...and when they can do this? Previously, anyone could make an objection - all of which will be considered by the Local Authority...before a decision is made. What are the matters that will be considered by the Local Council before making a decision to approve or not...

HIDE THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS - AND PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTS, ...OR KNOW WHAT THE AUTHORITIES MUST TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION (knowing this is important - because we the people can raise these matters if we know what they are...). Keep the people ignorant...and so easily we can 'move'....and approve. Well, it also makes 'corruption' easy - does it not?

The way forward:-

At the State Government Website - all Laws of the State should be available..

At the Local Council Website - all applicable laws should be available...(and this includes all regulations, rules, etc...)

At the Police Website - again all relevant laws should be available...

Laws belong to the people - it is not an 'official secret' - and in this ICT age, it should be freely available...

Is it available anywhere? Yes, it is - maybe one may find it at the State library - or the government gazette... or we may need to subscribe to some 'online service provider' paying a couple of thousand ringgit a year...

There may be legal publishers that print laws - but most of the State Laws or Local Council laws... are not there in the shops... there is no reason why government and government agencies should not make available all relevant laws, regulations, rules, by-laws, etc available online for all of us to read and be better CITIZENS..rate payers..or people generally. 

Ignorance of the law is something that a 'bad government' will advocate - but sure our governments, State governments, Local Councils, police and... are GOOD - and are happy to make known to everyone the relevant laws....
