REFORMASI
PRU 12; pilihan ditangan ANDA Ada tiga faktor utama yang perlu diperhatikan
rakyat dalam mendepani pilihan raya akan datang untuk menentukan serta
menghukum kepimpinan kerajaan, disamping melakukan perubahan besar-besaran demi
memulihkan kehidupan yang semakin sulit masa ini.
Bermula dengan salah laku pemimpin kerajaan dan UMNO, seperti pembinaan Istana
Zakaria, pelantikan ahli keluarga dalam majlis kerajaan tempatan, campur tangan
ahli parlimen dalam isu balak, kereta mewah dan kastam, dakwaan skandal khalwat
Senator, pembelian banglo mewah oleh kerajaan negeri untuk para exco, meroboh
rumah setinggan dan surau rakyat dan peruntukan RM600 juta wang kerajaan untuk
bahagian UMNO seluruh negara.
Yang keduanya, isu-isu yang tidak ditangani dengan sempurna oleh kerajaan
seperti gejala murtad, isu status agama yang mengakibatkan perebutan mayat,
produk makanan yang tidak jelas hukum halalnya, gejala maksiat yang kian
berleluasa dan paling menyentuh sensitiviti ialah percubaan menubuhkan IFC dan
kempen Kumpulan Artikel 11.
Akhirnya tindakan kerajaan yang semakin menindas dan mempermainkan nasib malang
rakyat apabila menaikkan harga bahan bakar, tarif air, elektrik dan terkini
menaikkan kadar tol dengan memberikan alasan yang boleh dipertikaikan.
Buatlah pilihan bijak. Sokong benda yang betul. Kita mesti berani melakukan
perubahan, UMNO semakin tidak relevan. Bagi yang muslim, "al islam yaklu wala
yukla alaih" - yang tinggi itu Islam. Tidak salah menyokong kepimpinan yang ada
sekiranya mereka berada di landasan yang "betul".
Sebagai penutup, sama-sama kita renungkan nilai wang kita pada hari ini. Bukan
gaji kecil yang menjadi ukuran, tetapi kuasa beli yang semakin menipis
disebabkan inflasi yang semakin meningkat.
Malaysia Today
Let's demonstrate Malaysian Solidarity
This election may end up the dirtiest ever in Malaysian history. But let us the
rakyat show the powers-that-be that we shall no longer tolerate the rigging of
our elections and the denial of our fundamental right to free and fair
elections. We refuse, any longer, to be robbed of our right to determine the
government that will rule over us
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
At 3.00pm tomorrow -- Friday, 22 February 2008 -- BERSIH is organising a
rally at Batu Burok in Kuala Terengganu. This rally is even more important than
before considering the Twelfth General Elections is now upon us and many
incidences of fraud have been detected all over the country.
Malaysians love screaming about satu bangsa, solidarity, and all such slogans.
Well, let's not confine ourselves to just screaming empty rhetoric. Let's
really show solidarity in the spirit of satu bangsa in support of those who are
putting life and limb on the line in Kuala Terengganu tomorrow for the sake of
a better Malaysia.
Wear yellow tomorrow. Make tomorrow a YELLOW FRIDAY. And at 3.00pm tomorrow,
come out from your homes and offices wearing yellow, stand on the street, and
make your presence felt. Or you can get into your car, switch your headlights
on, and drive around the block while honking your horn. Whatever it may be,
just show solidarity tomorrow, in particular at 3.00pm.
Of course, if you can make it to Kuala Terengganu at 3.00pm tomorrow that would
be even better. If not, then show your support from afar by just wearing yellow
and at 3.00pm do something as a mark of support.
At 11.00am the following day -- Saturday, 23 February 2008 -- we shall be
launching the PEOPLES' DECLARATION at the Blog House in Bukit Damansara in
Kuala Lumpur. The six political parties who have endorsed the declaration will
be invited to attend together with civil society movements, NGOs, and members
of the blogging community. Those interested to witness this event are most
welcome (address: no: 66, Lorong Setiabistari 2).
Lunch will be served and we have prepared seats for 100 people. If the crowd
exceeds that we may have a problem but I am sure you are not coming for the
food but to see the birth of a united opposition and a better Malaysia for our
children (and as for me, grandchildren).
On Wednesday, 27 February 2008, Blog House will be organising a MEET THE
CANDIDATES session. The time has not yet been confirmed but considering it is a
working day it would probably be at 8.00pm. This election will see the most
number of bloggers contesting, so Blog House would like to introduce all those
from the blogging community who will be contesting the election.
Of course, there are 505 State seats and 222 Parliament seats (total 727 seats)
up for grabs but Blog House is only focusing on the candidates from the
blogging community, which may prove to be quite a number in the end. Never mind
if they are Barisan Nasional candidates or opposition candidates. All will be
invited and all are welcome. So, if you want to meet the candidates who are
also bloggers then stay tuned for further announcements and keep your Wednesday
night free.
Then, on Saturday, 1 March 2008 (1 week before Polling Day), we shall be
organising a MEET BARISAN RAYKAT function. The time and place have not been
confirmed yet. In this function we shall give the members of BARISAN RAKYAT an
opportunity to talk to the people and explain their policies and strategies in
the event the opposition coalition forms the government, whether at Federal
level or in one, two or three of the States. There will also be a question-and
answer session for participants to ask the members of BARISAN RAKYAT anything
that may be of concern to them. Stay tuned for more details.
Many incidences of fraud have already been detected all over the country and
this election may yet prove to be one of the dirtiest ever. A team of lawyers
is being set up to gather evidence of fraud/vote-buying and to file an
injunction to stop the 8 March 2008 general election. There is still one more
year before an election needs to be called so the election should be postponed
until the electoral roll can be cleaned up and the phantom voters flushed out.
If not, the opposition can garner 60% of the votes but Barisan Nasional will
still form the government, and probably with a two-thirds majority as well.
The team of lawyers is offering a reward of RM10,000 to anyone who can deliver
evidence of fraud and/or vote-buying that leads to a conviction. I would do it
for free but if some of you are more concerned with filling your pockets rather
than fight for a better Malaysia -- just like the Barisan Nasional politicians
we are trying to kick out -- then this is the opportunity for you to make some
money.
If the coming general election cannot be stopped and it still goes on as
planned, the team of lawyers will then use all the evidence of fraud and
or/vote buying to file election petitions immediately after the election to get
the courts to declare that particular seat where the evidence has been procured
as null and void.
So, keep your eyes open. Gather as much evidence as your can. Documents will be
good but if you saw something but have no documents to support it then your
testimony in a signed Statutory Declaration or Affidavit will do. We shall
inform you later where to send your evidence or who to meet to get your
Affidavits drafted and signed.
Yes, this election may end up the dirtiest ever in Malaysian history. But let
us the rakyat show the powers-that-be that we shall no longer tolerate the
rigging of our elections and the denial of our fundamental right to free and
fair elections. We refuse, any longer, to be robbed of our right to determine
the government that will rule over us.
