#GE15 is a time when we exercise our freedom of expression #FOE as a fundamental and constitutional #right as citizens of #Malaysia.
This is our opportunity to express our opinions and choices as voters in determining the future of #Malaysia as a #democratic nation.
However, hate speech & dangerous rhetoric does tend to spike, especially during #elections.
In exercising our #FOE we must adhere to #international standards on #equality & non-discrimination & prevent the spread of hate speech, especially targeted at vulnerable groups.
