Driven by a hundreds of dreams, Ammar seems impervious to any mortal, racial status or any other forms of prejudice that pulverizes the wall of egalitarianism. His involvement in MyConsti campaign is set to awaken the masses to the imminent call of what a democracy really is. A Public Relations Officer in one of the “big boys” of Malaysian mainstream media, Ammar sees himself tiptoeing the thin line between reality and hypocrisy. This dirt is his Malaysia, and he will forever stand and taunt fiercely on its grounds, evident by his secretarial role in the NGO, Al-Ikhsan, vowing to protect the rights of those who call this soil home. Ammar believes in a country that’s “colour-blind”, with sovereignty in the air and the warmth of its people to be loved and not feared, to be referred and not revered. All hands on one vote: a fulfilling democracy that favours dreams and great leadership to its avail.

The Pusat Rakyat LoyarBurok (PRLB) is a community centre run by the Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights (MCCHR). PRLB is open to Homo Sapiens (or higher i.e. Homo Superior like the X-Men), all species of simian and civil society organisations who wish to use the space for meetings, activities or events that support, promote or enhance the mission and spirit of MCCHR. MCCHR’s mission is to promote and protect human rights in Malaysia in accordance with established international rights principles, treaties and law by maximising the use of all appropriate tools through integrated and community-based approach. We also like to party and do other fun stuff. Serious. PRLB’s main purpose is to provide a conducive and safe space for youth (don’t worry, old flers are also welcome-lah) to engage constructively, discuss and educate themselves (and others) about civil, political, economic, social and cultural issues. It also seeks to provide a platform for other beneficial rakyat-orientated activities such as parties and other fun stuff. I know we sound stuffy here, but we are serious about the fun stuff.
