<div style="font-size: 15px;">
(八打灵再也4日讯)马来西亚生产力机构(MPC)2012/2013年生产力报告说,我国去年生产力增长达2%,成绩虽比许多相关增长率低于1%的发达国家优秀,惟大马表现却比新兴国家如中国、泰国、印尼及印度逊色。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
许多发达国家去年的生产力不及1%,如韩国(0.8%)、日本(0.5%)、美国(0.5%)、新加坡(0.03%)及芬兰(0.2%),大马生产力增长则从2011年1.8%提高至去年2%。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>须维持至少3%增长</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
不过,新兴国家去年的生产力增长同样看涨,比大马表现更佳,包括中国(7.4%)、泰国(4.9%)、印尼(4.2%)及印度(3.7%)。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
报告指出,若大马要达致2020年先进国宏愿,促使国内生产总值年度增长6%,我国在未来7年就必须持续性获得3至4%生产力增长,否则难以达标。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
报告建议政府继续提出有效倡议,如政府转型计划、经济转型执行方案等,通过程序改革改善监管框架。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
国际贸易及工业部长拿督斯里慕斯达法今日推介2012/2013年生产力报告,它主要分析大马去年的生产力成长趋势及表现。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>4%生产力增长需各造努力</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
根据报告,大马若要达致3至4%生产力增长,会面对许多挑战,特别是这并非个体责任,需要国家及各造集体努力。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
报告说,国内生产力水平从2011年的5万7737令吉增加至去年的5万8875令吉。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
去年本地建筑业获高生产力增长(15.5%),依序为制造业(4.5%)及服务业(1.8%)。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
“资本密集度及劳工素质在促进生产力上扮演要交,去年资本密集度及雇用率分别增长了1.7及3.6%。”</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>今年劳工素质仅25.6%</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
劳工素质是以就业者拥有大专学历为测量点,大马去年的劳工素质只有25.6%,发达国家的劳工素质超过40%。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
大马生产力机构就商业挑战分析显示,大马业者在达致高生产力上面对5项主要挑战,即顾客关系、人力资源、永续性、卓越经营和企业品牌及信誉。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
活动嘉宾包括国际贸易及工业部副部长哈敏沙慕利、大马生产力机构主席丹斯里阿兹曼哈欣、总裁拿督拉扎里胡先等。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>贸长:落后国家已超越大马须加速落实宏愿</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
国际贸易及工业部长拿督斯里慕斯达法说,虽然大马是首个制定2020年宏愿以迈向先进国的发展中国家,但目前不少国家也有类似宏愿,步伐甚至比大马更快,我国需快马加鞭,否则会被抛在后头。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
“大马很早之前就有2020年宏愿,但问题是现在很多国家都要成为先进国,包括非洲。一些原本比大马落后的国家都超越我们了,我们要加快步伐。”</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>维持劳动力成本竞争力</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
针对大马去年生产力成长为2%,他指大马会致力让这比率在今年达致3至4%。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
慕斯达法出席2013年第二届“CREANOVA”活动兼推介2012/2013年生产力报告时说,创造及革新对国家生产力尤其重要,业者需以这两项要素为发展重点。他强调,大马需继续维持劳动力成本竞争力,把大马推向高收入国。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
他认为能提高国家生产力的措施包括让员工重新掌握技能、自动化及提倡尖端技术,公司也需向员工灌输正确思维。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
他促请业者与大马生产力机构洽询,获取推行具生产力及革新计划的详情。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>生产力机构将检查商业规则</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
大马生产力机构主席丹斯里阿兹曼哈欣宣布该机构今年增加了几项责任包括负责检查商业规则与改善国家主要经济生产过程和竞争能力。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
他也说,世界无疆界,生产力在竞争过程中扮演了很重要的角色,而大马员工也是提高生产力的主要因素。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
2012/2013生产力年度报告包含与大马生产力机构合作的组织与研究所所补充的全国与国际观点。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
合作组织有世界银行和亚洲生产力机构(Asian Productivity Organization)等。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
他说,该机构实施了它的改革议程,以确保商业团体能步入正轨,这些计划都可在大马生产力机构主要的商业领域见证。</div>

<b>建筑业生产力可达13%</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
马来西亚生产力机构指出,随着目前本地经济领域表现不俗,预料今年大马生产力成长可达3至4%。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
根据2012/2013年生产力报告,预料今年国内建筑领域生产力增长可达13%,产量增长(output growth)则为15%。相信一些次领域如天然气及石油、交通及公共设施能促进其增长。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
当局预计今年制造业生产力成长达3%,产量增长是5%,这行业将趋向资本密集及更先进科技操作。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
服务领域的生产力成长率及产量增长率则预计分别达3及6%。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>强调提高全要素生产率 提高人均收入生活水平</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
2012/2013年生产力报告说,由于大马积极在2020年达致先进国宏愿,国家成长越来越倾向于创新驱动型增长战略,它强调完成高价值活动,提高全要素生产率(TFP)。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
一旦提高全要素生产率,长期而言,国家人均收入和生活水平也随之提高。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
大马过去12年(2000至2012年)的平均成长率为5.1%,这段期间的国内经济成长主要
由资本增长(2.0%)支撑,依序为全要素生产率(1.6%)及劳工(1.5%)。在经济增长率方面,资本增长贡献了39.3%、全要素生产率
(31.5%)及劳工(29.1%)。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
2008至2012年,大马全要素生产率为经济成长贡献17.8%,但比起香港(78.9%)、韩国(39.4%)及日本(37%),这生产率的贡献算低。不过,大马全要素生产率仍比一些邻国高,如泰国(14.5%)、印尼(9.1%)及新加坡(7.5%)。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<b>加强国家生产力三大建议</b></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
(1)通过生产力专家提升内部及外部的开发资源,包括在职场、企业及工业领域推行生产力倡议。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
(2)加强商业有利环境及执行条例,如国家发展及执行条例政策、良好监管措施指南及进行监管冲击分析。</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px;">
(3)与国内外组织合作发展国家政策,如与有排名的机构展开策略合作,通过全球最佳实践吸收知识、与本地机构打造全民参与的生态环境等,加强国家生产力及竞争力。</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AT FIRST sight, the general election in Malaysia on May 5th, the
closest-fought since independence in 1957, looks encouraging. A lively
campaign inspired a remarkable turnout of 85% of the country’s 13.3m
voters. The government’s victory seems recognition of Malaysia’s solid
economic performance and of the progressive reforms introduced by Najib
Razak, the prime minister. He has repealed some oppressive, colonial-era
laws. He has even begun to dismantle the affirmative-action policies
favouring the ethnic-Malay majority over Chinese Malaysians (about a
quarter of the population) and Indians (8%). Those policies are at the
root of the corruption and cronyism poisoning Malaysian society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<aside class="main-content-container"><br /></aside></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Look again, however, and Malaysian politics seems near breakdown (see <a href="http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21577375-government-scrapes-homeallegedly-aided-vote-rigging-tawdry-victory" target="_self">article</a>). The
opposition coalition led by Anwar Ibrahim alleges electoral fraud and
has refused to accept the result. Whether that is true or not, it is
certain that the ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional, has huge inbuilt
advantages. Gerrymandered constituencies meant that with less than 47%
of the popular vote, its worst-ever electoral performance, it still won
60% of the 222 parliamentary seats. The state has dispensed cash
handouts and other goodies, while much of the civil service works as a
party-political tool, and the election commission has long brushed aside
allegations of malfeasance. Add in an obsequious mainstream media, and
it is rather remarkable that so many Barisan Nasional campaigners still
felt the need to resort to blatant vote-buying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All of this gives rise to two dangers. The first is of a loss of
faith in the political process itself. Mr Najib argues that, in a
parliamentary system, it is not the popular vote that matters. But in
any system it is time to redraw boundaries when distortions have reached
this level (something for others, such as Britain and Japan, to note).
And Mr Najib owes it to Malaysians who backed the opposition—more than
half of the electorate—to investigate the alleged frauds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second danger is of a rekindling of the ethnic animosities that
led to bloody rioting in the 1960s. Mr Najib has said he wants to be
prime minister for all Malaysians. Sadly, however, he presided over an
ugly campaign by his United Malays National Organisation, UMNO, the main
component of Barisan. In the rural Malay heartlands, UMNO was as
negative, racially divisive and pro-Malay as ever. Barisan’s
ethnic-Chinese parties did lamentably at the election. Mr Najib has
blamed Barisan’s losses on a “Chinese tsunami”, encouraging disgraceful
anti-Chinese headlines in the Malay-language press.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Casting the election in such racial terms is neither wise nor
accurate. The tsunami washing over Barisan is of the young and the
rising urban middle class, sickened at the unfairness, cronyism and
corruption they see around them. Mr Najib has taken to Facebook to court
these groups. All things to all Malaysian voters, he is more popular
than his party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="xhead" style="text-align: justify;">
Show your true colours</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The threat he faces now is from UMNO itself. It was quick to dispatch
Mr Najib’s predecessor after he did almost as badly in the previous
election in 2008. Likewise, UMNO hardliners might argue that what is
needed now is to bolster support among its Malay core by replacing Mr
Najib with a less bashful Malay supremacist. In fact, if UMNO is to have
a future in a prospering Malaysia it needs young urban voters, not poor
rural ones. To counter his opponents in the party, Mr Najib therefore
needs to capitalise quickly on his own popularity to reform more boldly:
to complete the demolition of the affirmative-action edifice; to go
further in improving civil liberties; and, above all, to make the
electoral system fairer.</div>

Holy duty as a Malaysian voter is completed: After having waited since last year, finally i casted my vote in person in the morning of 8.30 a.m. on 5th May 2013 in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, mission for a better Malaysia still goes on...<br />
<br />
I will not wait for five years later. I want to work together with my fellow Malaysians at home and overseas on awareness creation especially in rural areas.

Dear fellow Malaysians, Please submit the letter to United Nations and Transparency International. (Note: The letter template is prepared by a concerned Malaysian who is presently a medical student). </div>

Thanks. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ladies and gentlemen,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Dear United Nations and Transparency International, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are the citizens of Malaysia, and hereby we report onthe current pre-election situation to every one of the world. First andforemost, election is a democratic practice; it symbolizes the fair distributionof power which the Constitutional guarantees, hence allowing us to makedecisions about a country’s future and policies. This includes deciding thecountry’s ruling party, the members of parliament and by extension any possibleamendments to Constitution. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As many of you are aware, most democratic countriesare progressive and have advanced civil awareness. Citizens form their socialnorms, collective decisions and common responsibilities through their combinedvoices. They choose their governments according to their own volition through theballot box. Men are born with free will and rationality; we believe that menwill make decisions based on a rational weighing of the benefits to themajority. However, respect and an upholding of rights are also conferred to theminorities as guaranteed under the Constitution, thus ensuring that the socialstability can be assured and upheld. An awareness of the Constitution and its statuesare crucial to the development of civil society, because only one will carry one’sduties well only after clearing understanding one’s rights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While most democratic countries have upheld theprinciples of democracy, the unpleasant reality is that not all have.Corruption threatens and impinges upon the democratic process, leading to thecollapse of civilized society. Through this letter, we would like to report severaluntoward incidents that have plagued the lead up to the 13<sup>th</sup>Malaysian General Election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As of lately, we have observed many foreigners beingimported into Malaysia. These foreigners are enter presumably as workers and areescorted by police officials. The arrivals of these foreigners are have arousedsuspicions as their clothing (shirts and caps) are adorned the logo of BarisanNasional, the current ruling party. Besides that, there are undisputed andaffirmative news reports that these foreigners possess the Malaysian CitizenIdentity Card, which is legally speaking, impossible based on our constitution.Our constitution has strict requirements for immigration applications, and thenormal process takes years for citizenship to be granted. How can these foreignersobtain Malaysian citizenship, just within few days? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, most of these foreigners have been observedto be Bangladeshis, whereby they are employed in Bangladesh and sent toMalaysia for labor purposes. Butunfortunately, these Bangladeshis have obtained Identity Cards illegally and preparingto commit fraud in the voting by supporting Barisan Nasional in the forthcomingGeneral Election. This is contravenes a serious diplomatic taboo under which nocountry is allowed to interfere in another country’s local politics. This is a perversionof a country’s sovereignty and independence. We are requesting international solidarityin condemning these incidents in order to exert pressure on the Commissioner ofGeneral Election to ensure the forthcoming election is cleaner and moretransparent. Our voices are expressed through the petition “Stop your peopleintervene our local politics!” (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/kuan-ping-ang/letters-to-transparency-international-and-united-nations-about-fraud-voting-inci/136001233259541#"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.causes.com%2Factions%2F1749459-stop-your-people-intervene-our-local-politics&h=KAQFnjutT&s=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.causes.com/actions/1749459-stop-your-people-intervene-our-local-politics</a>).Currently more than 15,000 Malaysians have expressed their objection anddissatisfaction through this petition. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, the outflow Bangladeshi workers aremanaged by the Ministry ofExpatriates, Welfare and Overseas Employment, which underthe direct purview of the Cabinet of Bangladesh. Therefore, we are making anofficial inquiry to the relevant Ministry with regards to their role, or not,in permitting these workers to be involved in overt political interference. Werequest for a coherent and timely response. Otherwise, we will assume thatCabinet of Bangladesh acquiesces to this incident, and we will request forfurther international action to be taken against the Cabinet of Bangladesh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also request a formal response with regards toallegations that the Ministry has received illicit payments from BarisanNasional in order to send such huge numbers of Bangladeshi workers. As acorollary, we also request Transparency International to provide necessaryassistance for further the investigation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We hope that the Ministry remains alert and aware ofany worker departure approvals since we hope that Bangladeshis do not becomemercenaries become involved in illegal activities that contravene Bangladeshilabor export policy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Concluding this letter, but not the least, we hope forinternational support to make our Malaysian general election clean and moretransparent through increased vigilance. Eternal vigilance is the price ofliberty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you.</div>

i was in ss2, pj this morning and i was a Malaysian lady aged abt 40s talking to surrounding people at a fruit stall in front of a supermarket. She said: "i hv flown back to Perth to vote in Malaysia this Sunday. Malaysians at home, you must come out to vote to safeguard our country Malaysia."<br /> <br /> I joined her immediately: "I just flew back from Switzerland yesterday. Thousands of overseas Malaysians are flying back long<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"> distance to help. Malaysians at home, even we live overseas we still care about Malaysia. Shd you guys still dnt want to come out to vote and suffer later, we hv nothing else to say. Please spread the word: Every Malaysian must come out to vote!"<br /><br /> i dnt know the name of the lady back fm Perth, i wd like to say: She is great! <br /> <br /> That is how we gonna do these two days: Keep on telling people come out to vote! Only with high turn-out of real Malaysians, we can defeat all dirty tricks in a democratic way.</span></div>

BERSIH 4.0: <br />
"When you encounter foreign workers in the queue or within the school area, do not ask him to sing the national anthem, because it is a violation of the Elections Act because you are attempting to verify their identity.

According to the Elections Act, as long as the voter's name and identity card number in the voter registration list, and his identity card is valid, then, you cannot stop them to vote, but you can ask Ketua Tempat Mengundi (KTM) to let them fill in Borang 11, remember to get a copy from KTM and submit to the PACABA Head, because this can be used as evidence if the foreign worker is a phantom voter. And, do remember to check and make sure SPR Personnel get ready this form. If SPR did not provide, then PACABA Personnel should bring along the forms. <br /> <br /> After voting, don't go back home immediately. Hang around and chat outside the polling centre for a while to assist ABU or Pakatan Rakyat members to detect the phantom voters. Please at least do this little bit for your country.

<br />
Besides me, there are thousands of Malaysians flying back from all corners of the world, with the sole purpose of casting our single vote in this coming Sunday. <br />
<br />
Still, we are concerned our number is far behind the number of ghosts that have been created and flown in these few days as well. <br />
<br />
When i was coming out from the KLIA Arrival Hall, i spotted 20 to 30 Bangladesh who were walking out from the arrival gate as well. Of course, i dont know whether they are merely foreign workers arriving Malaysia for work...or for v...? This one i really dont have any idea. <br />
<br />
I wanted to take a picture, but i was at the middle of the gate of the arrival hall, everyone was walking fast. <br />
<br />
Nevertheless, pictures of Bangladesh arriving at KLIA have been taken by other Malaysians and have been spread on social media. <br />
<br />
My fellow Malaysians, thousands of Malaysians are willing to spend their own money for air ticket, tolerate long distance flight, put their business and work overseas on hold, and just come back for the sole purpose of casting a single vote. Every Malaysian must come out to vote this Sunday! There is NO excuse. Every Malaysian must do the best of our very best to save our country Malaysia! It is not an exaggration, the destiny of our Malaysia and our fellow Malaysians depend on the upcoming general election - 5th of May!

Malaysians at home and overseas have been untiringly telling as many as they can: Come Out to Vote! Come Out to Vote! <br />
<br />
Some overseas Malaysians have casted their postal votes yesterday at the Malaysian embassies in the globe.<br />
<br />
Some overseas Malaysians, including me, still determine to fly home to vote. Some have put their business on hold and have flown back to volunteer in election campaigns in Malaysia. Some are preparing these few days to fly back long distance for merely few days stay in Malaysia with the sole purpose of casting their votes in Malaysia.<br />
<br />
Despite we conduct our life in other lands, Malaysians who live overseas do not shed away our civil duty as Malaysians. Even we live abroad, most of us still care deeply about our home country.<br />
<br />
Can you feel how much is our care to our country Malaysia and to our fellow Malaysians?<br />
<br />
Can you imagine how much efforts we overseas Malaysians gonna make in order to make that trip flying back to vote in Malaysia?<br />
<br />
Besides airfare, it is time and energy to make that journey.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, our hope is pure: Restore a clean, green, safe and progressive land to Malaysia and our fellow Malaysians as we are also Malaysians!<br />
<br />
I am heading to airport at Zurich tomorrow at 8 a.m. and to be landing KLIA Thursday´s afternoon.<br />
Even
before my return flight to Zurich from Kuala Lumpur three weeks ago, my
body felt exhausted thinking of the 16 hours sitting in the plane. I
keep on telling myself: It is okay, it is okay. It is for my country
Malaysia and my fellow Malaysians including myself.<br />
<br />
Everyone of us gonna do our part - Vote!

很简单的逻辑:“才那么一票,难道真的会影响大局 meh..? 别夸大了。“
夸大?
历史有时候就是那么地微妙,不看一些小细节,我们还真的以为,历史只是会由大人物来改造。
我特地去了 SPR 网站,把 2008 年大选所有 222 个国会议席的所有成绩抽取出来,做一些排列和加减,把缺席的选民,和候选人胜利的多数票作了个比较,得出了惊人的答案。
我们共有 222 个国会议席,在 2008 年时,有多少个议席是,没有出来投票的人,多过那些 MAJORITI (胜利多数票)的?换句话说,如果这些人有出来投票,会改变那个选区的选举成绩?
答案是 158 席。而在这 158 席里,有几个是我们口中常诅咒的那个,我们很想换掉,却觉得没有可能换掉的腐败政权?
答案是,90 个议席。
90 个议席。
这个腐败残暴的政权,在上一次大选,因为我们觉得它是换不了的而所以没有出来投票,而让它赢多了 90 个议席。这 90 个议席,是没有出来投票的人数 (absent voter),多过国阵所赢的多数票的。
几个经典的例子,
P.208 Sarikei,国阵赢 51 票,没有出来投票的人,有 9,429 人。
P.09 Alor Star, 国阵赢 184 票,没有出来投票的人,有 15,751 人。
P.186 Sandakan, 国阵赢 176 票,没有出来投票的人,有 12,799 人。
看着这些被腐败政权赢过去的议席,都只是几千票,而那些地方没有出来投票的人数,却很多超过一万人。
所以,到底是这个政府还有很多人支持它而换不下来,还是因为我们自己没有出来投票,放弃了战斗,而一开始就已经,输了?
有没有想过,其实只要你现在放工了去买个巴士票,上网订一张几票,我们就可以把这个魔鬼干掉,还我们干净的河山?
我们就因为那张巴士票,那两天假期,那两天的节目,而断送了这个把魔鬼干掉的机会?知不知道如果这次这魔鬼不被我们干掉,会有多少生灵会被涂炭?
我们上一次只差 30 个议席就能够让这魔鬼倒台,而我们却白白送了 90 个议席给他们。
就只因为一句话:
“才那么一票,难道真的会影响大局 meh..? 别夸大了。“
回家投票吧。你那一票真的能拯救这个国家的,真的。
我附上了这个我从 SPR 网站抽取下来的分析资料 Excel file,大家可以下载下来,作分析作比较,有很多宝贵的我们看漏了的数据。

辭職回國投票,來自大山腳在中國工作女網友“Maya Cho”的故事,讓日落洞行動黨候選人黃泉安感動得落下男兒淚,更感性地說:“感謝國家有你!”
黃泉安前晚(26日)在大路後民聯政治座談會上,讀出“Maya Cho”從決定回國的理由、選擇辭職,到踏上回鄉路上的一篇短文,句句真情讓他很感動,除了在千人面前掉淚,更哽咽感嘆“一介女流尚可如此,其他人還在猶豫什麼”,也呼籲Maya出來相見。
“在得知Maya是檳州大山腳人後,我心裡非常高興,也得知她已經回到老家,就通過另一名朋友‘拉線’,要求與Maya見面。我想要親自感謝她,特別是她對馬來西亞做的一切。”
不過他說,他不曉得對方是否願意與他相見,因此他特別在會上呼籲,希望能和她見一面,親自向她道出心中的感動。
他說,Maya的文非常感人,她說40年一直都沒有投票,還自我安慰長期旅居國外所以不投票不會對她的工作、升遷、生活等帶來影響,但這次她不能再等,所以已經在回家的路上了。
他反譏一馬組織用吃喝玩樂麻痺人民感官來造勢,還以“商女不知亡國恨,隔岸猶唱後庭花”來形容他們。
當天共籌獲2千900令吉競選基金,其他主講者包括檳州行動黨主席兼巴當哥打區候選人曹觀友、峇都蘭樟區候選人羅興強、雙溪檳榔區候選人林秀琴、斯里德里瑪區候選人雷爾、前雙溪檳榔區州議員郭庭源。
★感動黃泉安的一則文:
“前天週日,我在我的房間開始收拾我的行李。桌上有一張打印好的回家機票和一封信。只用了早上喝一杯咖啡的瞬間就做好了決定,也想好了隔天早上要說的話。昨天上午,拿著剛買好的亞航機票跟老闆說:真的不好意思,我又要請假了。
她臉一沉:這次要去哪裡?我說:我要回家,要回去投票。她是共產黨員,如果要讓她明白這一票有多重要可能要花一輩子的氣力。所以我說:我是一定要回去的。機票已經買了。她還是一臉不高興。我接著說:為了這件事請假,我也覺得不好意思。所以,這是我的辭職信。
她說:啊!真的有這麼重要嗎?我說:超乎想像的重要。她說:怎麼我就不能了解你們外國人的想法呢。投票選舉真有那麼重要嗎?我說:嗯。關乎人命。我40多年來,每次都錯過這個上天賦予我的特別使命。我總是放棄一個讓自己確立自己有分辨善惡能力的機會。自動放棄一個民主國家給予人民真正自由的權力,讓國民能為下一代謀福利機會。過去每次投票日我都在外,我也總是自我安慰的說:少我一票沒什麼大不了的。反正不影響我的工作。不影響我的升級。不影響我的生活。但是今天不一樣。雖然我依然是漂泊在外,因為面子書,每天都有海量的信息提醒我,我是一個人,沒錯。但那裡住著每天生活在治安不好的我稱為親愛的家人,我睡覺都會喊著名字前途無量的外甥侄女,很多拼老命工作卻入不敷出的親戚朋友,我那些老來受苦勞累的無依無靠鄰居,同一塊土地成長卻沒有同等待遇選擇好大學的學生……錯過這一次我要再等5年。5年……我這把年紀,真沒把握。她說:啊……是這樣啊。所以我在回家投票的路上啦。。你還在猶豫嗎?”

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dr Vanaja Panickar, a Malaysian based in Australia and has purchased air ticket to fly back to vote in Malaysia: <br /><br /><br /><br />1. Have you purchased air ticket to fly fm Australia to vote in Malaysia? <br /><br />Yes, the JBU tickets were sold out, but I purchased the promotion tickets.<br /><br /><br />2. The motivation that drives you to do so?<br /><br />I come from a family of very politically motivated people and I have always voted ever since I returned from my studies in 1975. In those days, the opposition was very weak, but I still voted for them because I believed that no ruling party should have 2/3 majority and the people needed an effective opposition in parliament. It was a forlorn hope then, but we still believed that one day some good will come out of all this. Moreover I was also a victim of racial policies and I believed fervently that every Malaysian should have a place under the Malaysian sun. <br /><br />With the reformasi movement and the advent of the internet, Malaysians were able to access information of the actual state of affairs and how much we were losing out because BN became so absolutely corrupt and racist. It was too much for my poor heart to bear. How could any decent government do this to us? We, the people have the power to change this rot and I will be glad to see the scoundrels count the bars in Sungei Buloh. My daughter too faced this discrimination through BTN.<br /><br />Now I have hope, not so much for myself, but for all Malaysians that we can finally change evil in its naked form for a government that promises fair play. I believe in basic human rights and we, as Malaysians, should do our bit for the country of our birth.<br /><br /><br />3. Any difficulty in your daily life to overcome for flying back fm Australia to vote in Malaysia?<br /><br />My daughter has 2 small kids and I help her to look after them, so when I am gone she will have to do everything herself. Otherwise everything is fine. If I had to fly to the moon to vote in Malaysia, I would gladly do that too!!!!<br /><br />4. Your message to be included in the article. <br /><br />I beseech all Malaysians overseas to vote too. As for Malaysians still in Malaysia, please go out in droves to vote. Only then will we be able to overcome the massive vote rigging that BN has planned. Every vote counts. Selamat Malaysia.<br /><br />Dr. Vanaja</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16890542829888816306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918713550552166220.post-61378023753633480802013-04-23T01:55:00.001-07:002013-04-23T01:59:24.423-07:00Bloomberg: Malaysia Needs to Get Off the Road to Mediocrity<div style="text-align: justify;">
"In his bid for re-election, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has dispensed with all shame. Vote for me, he has essentially declared, or Malaysia will suffer “catastrophic ruin” and an “Arab Winter” of the kind that has undone economies from Egypt to Libya.<br />
<br />
Both warnings are ludicrous -- signs of how worried Najib’s National Front coalition is of losing power for the first time since 1957. They speak to the desperation of a government that has come to serve itself, not Malaysia’s 29 million people. And they are emblematic of a leader whose talk of bold change hasn’t been matched by action."</div>

I like in particularly the lines of "Both warnings are ludicrous --
signs of how worried Najib’s National
Front coalition is of losing power for the first time since 1957. They
speak to the desperation of a government that has come to SERVE ITSELF,
NOT Malaysia’s 29 million people. And they are emblematic of a leader
whose TALK of bold change HASN´T BEEN MATCHED BY ACTION." These
sentences have gone straight to the point!<br />
<br />
Also, "Najib is touting Malaysia’s 6.4 percent growth as proof he is a radical-change agent. In fact, much of Southeast Asia
also is booming, and the government is helping to artificially fuel
growth with populist handouts." </div>

FOR the first time since our independence, Malaysians
living and working in different countries abroad have organised
themselves strategically and collectively to return home to vote under
the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JomBalikUndiBah?fref=ts" target="_blank">Jom Balik Undi</a> (JBU)
initiative. Launched in November 2011 as a social media initiative, the
campaign has been encouraging Malaysians to go home and vote. Its
purpose is “to help create a cleaner and brighter future for all
Malaysians”.<br />
<br />
Just who are these Malaysians who are running and participating in
JBU? What sacrifices are the Malaysians who are returning home making in
order to vote? And what is motivating them to spend money and time to
make their choice known during the 13<sup>th</sup> general election (GE13) since our independence?<br />

The
states of Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu have a
disproportionately high number of voters sharing the same names,
including 900 named ‘Fatimah Ismail’. <br />
<br />
Of these, there are 14
instances of ‘Fatimah Ismail’ sharing the same birthdays, and 10 of
these instances also had their identity cards issued from the same
state. <br />
<br />
<img align="left" alt="NONE" height="191" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/612/385e9bee55d7b3d81cdf519a42927713.jpg" width="300" />“This
(pattern) is found in all the top names that we can find. Imagine two
gentlemen named ‘Ismail’ having their daughter born on the same day and
naming them ‘Fatimah’, and it is within the same village,” said
Malaysian Electoral Roll Analysis Project (Merap) research assistant Lee
Wee Tak. <br />
In comparison, he said other states such and Perak and Negri Sembilan have far fewer instances of voters with the same name. <br />
<br />
<br />
<img align="right" alt="NONE" height="200" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/612/9d229bdc23c04006d7c7ca530b4f1b90.jpg" width="300" />The
most popular voter name in Perak is ‘Fatimah Ahmad’ with a mere 55
instances, for example, compared to 412 ‘Fatimah Ismails’ in Kedah. <br />
<br />
Even
when Merap tried to reduce coincidences by searching for at least three
matches in both name and date of birth, Lee said he is still left with
263 voters throughout Malaysia who meet the criteria. <br />
<br />
In most cases, these voters appear to live close to each other, but about two-thirds of them have incomplete addresses. <br />
<br />
Leading the pack is Terengganu with 50 voters, Perak with 41, Kelantan with 31, and Kedah with 26. <br />
<br />
<img align="left" alt="NONE" height="264" src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.malaysiakini.com/mk-cdn.mkini.net/612/300x264x36ecd55cf39e2914e0590d63c6c31f65.jpg.pagespeed.ic.43POqWjR0f.jpg" width="300" />In
one example, he said there are three voters named ‘Ab Rapar Awang’
sharing the same birthday on July 15, 1949. Two of them are registered
to vote in the Indera Mahkota parliamentary constituency, while another
votes in the neighbouring Paya Besar. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Sabah and Sarawak have the highest number of voters over the age of 100 - 1,062 and 475 persons respectively. <br />
<br />
<img align="right" alt="NONE" height="305" src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.malaysiakini.com/mk-cdn.mkini.net/612/300x305x31c2d3c00db603152816112ec43eee57.jpg.pagespeed.ic.0wEkHsJT7n.jpg" width="300" />Lee
said that in addition to the unusually high number of centenarians,
these voters also tend to register at a relatively advanced age. On
average, Sabah centenarian voters registered at 84 years of age and
Sarawak voters at 65. <br />
<br />
“Of course, people might say that Malaysia
has a high standard of living and people start to live longer. We
present to you these individuals who are born in 1897 (116 years old)
and 1898 (115 years old),” he said referring to a voter in Penang and
another in Perak. <br />
<br />
“It is highly unlikely that they are alive at this time,” he said. <br />
<br />

Why we must vote for change!!!!!!<br />April 19, 2013</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />In an open letter, senator Dr Ariffin Omar, a former president of Aliran, lists down the numerous problems plaguing the country and urges Malaysians to vote for change.<br /><br />By Ariffin Omar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />"We are now at the crossroads of our destiny. The 13th general election, slated to be held on May 5, will decide once and for all what future we are going to bequeath to our children and grandchildren.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />We have lived for more than half a century under a regime which practices the politics of ethnic discrimination. In its wake this politics of apartheid has brought about corruption, mismanagement, cronyism and nepotism on a scale not seen in many countries. I have been told that as many as three million Malaysians have left this nation for other countries in despair. Can we afford such a loss?<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Barisan Nasional, which had its origins as the Alliance Party, which then comprised of the United Malays National Organisation, the Malayan Chinese Association and the Malayan Indian Congress, has brought this country to the brink of disaster.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />In playing its racist politics on the false claims that the underdeveloped and underprivileged Malays needed government aid through the New Economic Policy, the BN has misused and abused this policy to enrich certain individuals in Umno including their cronies and hangers-on. The rights and privileges of non-Malays as guaranteed in the Malaysian Constitution have been ignored.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BN has systematically destroyed the institutions of state. The judiciary has been emasculated and rendered subservient to the interests of the BN. Malaysians must know that hardly anyone now believes in the independence of the judiciary. Foreign investors investing in Malaysia have demanded the right to have any legal matters arising from their business disputes to be heard either in Singapore, London or even in Hong Kong. What is the value of our judiciary?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />The civil service is nothing but a pliant tool of the BN. The percentage of non-Malays serving in the civil service is negligible. Why? The BN, in particular Umno, has been consistent in making sure that it is monopolised by Malays and thus ensure that the BN’s interests and corruption are protected. Even the police force and the army are not spared from the policy of mainly recruiting Malays into the services at the expense of non-Malays who are more than willing to serve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />This BN government has failed to realise that the non-Malays played a crucial role in the emergency to crush the communist insurrection. Many non-Malays gave their lives to defeat the communists especially those who served in the Special Branch many of whom were Chinese and Indians. Dayak trackers from Sarawak were also used to hunt down the communists. Has the BN forgotten all this?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />We must not forget how the institution of the monarchy was distorted and manipulated to suit the interest of the BN. The former PM Mahathir had removed the powers of the rulers which were enshrined in the Constitution and had transferred these powers to the executive. Therefore the rulers consent was no longer necessary for any bill to become law. All that was needed was for parliament to pass the Bill again and after a period of time, the Bill becomes law even without the signature or the consent of the rulers. Thus an important part of the process of checks and balances was removed.<br />Parliament itself has become a mere debating club without much power to oversee many important agencies and bodies and demand accountability. For example the Election Commission is not responsible to Parliament but to the PM. … Parliament cannot even demand accountability from the SPRM as it is not answerable to Parliament. Even Petronas is not under the purview of Parliament or responsible to Parliament but to the PM.<br /><br />Outlandish claims:<br />I am no great admirer of British colonial rule, but we cannot deny that in the field of education we inherited an educational system that was second to none in Asia. What is the standard of our educational system today? The DPM Muhyiddin has come out with an outlandish claim that our educational system is the best in this world. Well if that is the case why are the BN Ministers and Members of Parliament not sending their children to the local universities?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />From the very beginning they send their children to international schools and after that off to foreign universities where the language of education is in English. As for us we are forced to send our children to an educational system which has neither value nor merit. Are we surprised that none of our universities is listed in the world rankings while countries like Indonesia and Thailand, which were formerly regarded as below us, are now far ahead of us in educational standards? What has the government got to say about this?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />In terms of unity we have never been so divided in our history. There seems to be a deliberate policy to set the Malays against the non-Malays by using almost every conceivable excuse to provoke suspicion and tension among the various ethnic communities in Malaysia. Issues like the ‘Allah issue’ are apparently invented to cause religious disharmony. Worse, there is latitude given to extremists to insult and denigrate other religions in Malaysia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />The dragging-of-the-cow-head incident in KL and the remarks made by racist Malays and some Chinese converts against other religions and beliefs are given prominence. No action is taken against these individuals for making such seditious remarks. The BN claims that is part and parcel of freedom of speech as guaranteed in the Constitution. But the rights of other religions and beliefs that are also guaranteed in the Constitution are conveniently ignored.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />The present government does not believe in unity because there has never been a consistent policy that promotes national unity. We have gone through the hollow slogans of ‘Bangsa Malaysia’, ‘Islam Hadhari’ and now ‘1Malaysia’. Every new PM comes with a new slogan that is either devoid of meaning or has no substance. For example what is this 1Malaysia when even in the BN circles the idea of 1Malaysia is not practised? In the BN, Umno reigns supreme; the MCA, the Gerakan and the MIC are handmaidens to Umno.<br /><br />Now on the eve of this historic general election we can see just how hollow the 1Malaysia concept is. Anyone can see how insignificant the MCA, the Gerakan and the MIC are in helping the BN to regain power. These parties face annihilation at the hands of the voters. Only Umno can still count on some measure of support. Any seat allocated to these parties will be a seat that will be wrested by the opposition. Thus Umno is in a mortal dilemma concerning what seats (if any) to give to these parties. If the 1Malaysia is an abject failure in the BN, how will it succeed in the country?<br /><br />This government has no respect for law and order or even for basic human rights which we are all entitled to. As an example, when the Bersih rallies took place the BN saw it as a threat to law and order even though the rally was very peaceful. The BN authorised the police to act harshly against those participating in the Bersih rallies. They were beaten and gassed and had water cannons turned on them. Some were arrested and charged in court for attempting to overthrow the government or wage war against the Agong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />These protesters were only armed with mineral water bottles. When Malaysian territory in Sabah was invaded by armed intruders at Lahad Datu, the BN described these invaders as neither terrorists nor militants and attempted to negotiate a settlement. Only after these intruders ambushed and killed Malaysian police personnel did the government classify these intruders as terrorists. Why the discrepancy in the treatment of the Bersih protesters and the armed Filipino intruders?<br /><br />Custodial deaths:<br />Even more shocking are the innumerable deaths of those detained in police lock-ups. Many of these happen to be Indians. The causes of their deaths were never satisfactorily explained and calls for inquests and impartial postmortems are dismissed curtly by the authorities. The issue of unexplained deaths as in the case of Teoh Boon Hock and Ahmad Sarbani are also issues that need answers.<br /><br />Can we continue with the same state of affairs for another 55 years? I doubt we can. Therefore, I appeal to you, my fellow Malaysians, to vote in the Pakatan Rakyat. Given our record in Penang and Selangor, we can take over Putrajaya and bring about much-needed changes for the better. For starters we will reduce the price of essential items that burden the people. We can and will be committed to tackling the issue of corruption. I admit that corruption can never be eliminated but at least we can minimise it as we have done in Penang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />We can improve the quality of education by ensuring that those appointed to work in the universities are suitably qualified and competent to teach. We will seriously take measures to improve the standard of education in Malaysian schools especially in Science and Mathematics. We will seriously look into providing cheap and efficient public transport for all Malaysians. Useless projects or industries will be scrapped. My hope is that we can dismantle Proton, which is a disaster to Malaysia. Even more important, we will dismantle monopolies that are being held by Umno cronies at the expenses of Malaysians. IPPs will be forced to lower rates while more affordable housing will be an important item in government planning.<br /><br />Poverty, which is a bane in Malaysian society, will be tackled head-on not on the basis of race but on the basis of income levels and disparities. In this respect East Malaysia will be a priority area. At the same time marginalised groups such as the Indians as well as the Orang Asli will have their interests attended to.<br /><br />Even more important, a sense of belonging to the nation will be inculcated among all Malaysians. We hope that through this we can remove the poison of racism and ethnic hostility fostered by the BN government all these 55 years. Citizens who were not given their legal documents as citizens will have this injustice redressed. At the same time, foreigners who were given citizenships for the sake of political expedience by the BN will have their citizenship revoked and they will be deported to their country of origin. It is important to stress that Malaysia belongs to Malaysians.<br /><br />Last but not least, leaders of the BN involved in massive corruption and treachery to this nation of ours will be apprehended and put on trial. Those who committed injustices against the people will not be allowed to escape with their ill-gotten gains. We will ensure that corruption is tackled head on. The SPRM will be made to act as strictly as possible within the law and it should be answerable to Parliament. Similarly the Election Commission will be an independent body accountable and answerable to Parliament. It is also vital that Petronas, an important agency, be answerable and accountable to Parliament.<br /><br />My fellow Malaysians, it is my hope that after reading this short appeal you will take the time to ponder on the all-important choice that you will have to make on May 5, 2013. Please remember, <b>voting for the Pakatan Rakyat is not just merely voting for another party but it is voting for the future well-being of yourselves, your children and your grandchildren. </b>Please do not gamble with the future of the coming generations. Vote wisely."<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The upcoming general election in Malaysia, scheduled to be held on the
5th May 2013, is perceived to be the most challenging battle in between the
National Front Coalition (Barisan Nasional/BN) that has been the ruling
coalition for 56 years as well as the <span style="font-size: small;">Peopls´s Pact</span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>(Pakatan Rakyat/PR) that has
shown her willingness to take over the ruling position. Indeed, the GE13 that
may mark a turning point in Malaysia´s history is worth to be witnessed by the
world citizens how Malaysians move with their peaceful manner in the democratic
process of their country. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am a Malaysian living in Switzerland since I married to my German
husband 2 ½ years ago. Upon the day I moved to Switzerland, I have known
that I would certainly fly home to vote whenever the election is called. At
that time, I had never thought I would tell the whole world that, I among many
overseas Malaysians are flying home to vote, indeed we want to vote for “CHANGE”. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During many of our discussions, my German husband asked what I hold such
strong feeling towards my home country as he thinks my country has not done
much to me. I replied: “My country may not have done much for me, but it is my
country. Indeed, because I personally experienced discrimination, unfair
treatments, bureaucracy and inefficiency, I don’t want others who live in
Malaysia, even I may not know them, to experience that.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I don’t see myself a patriotic. The celebration of National Independent
Day on 31 August has been merely any other public national holiday for me.
However, casting my vote in person in Malaysia for the upcoming 13<sup>th</sup>
general election in 2013 is “something” I have never been so persistent to do
in my life. To be frank, I even see it even more important than my own life. I
flew back from Switzerland and waited two months in Malaysia from 6 February to
3 April on the fact that the Parliament was due to dissolve by 28 May 2013. Parliament
was not dissolved during my two-month stay in Malaysia. Indeed, it was
dissolved exactly on the day I landed Zurich after waiting two months in
Malaysia. I recalled that the moment I switched on my mobile upon landing in
Zurich Airport, the first message appeared was “Parliament dissolved!” from a
friend in Malaysia. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Later, I waited 6 days for the Election Commission to declare the
Polling Date. Soon after I confirmed the Polling Date was firmed, I purchased
my flight ticket without any hesitation to land Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia three
days before the Polling Date.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was also asked why I fly from Switzerland with sixteen hours of flight
journey just to cast my single vote in Malaysia instead of signing up as a
postal voter. I was questioned should I am concerned of the possibility of my
vote being manipulated with voting abroad, vote manipulation could happen in
Malaysia as well.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Despite the
convenience of “postal voters” offered for the first time in Malaysia´s history
to overseas Malaysians excepts for Malaysians in Singapore, Brunei, Kalimantan
and southern Thailand, to vote at their residing countries, only 6,298
Malaysian voters abroad, or 0.6 per cent, out of about a million Malaysians
living overseas have registered as postal voters. On the contrary, thousands of
overseas Malaysians rather purchase their air tickets to fly back across the
globe to cast their vote in person in Malaysia.
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some commented that the dismaying
registration of postal voters is due to the strict requirements that the number
of stays of overseas Malaysians for the last five years must be more than a
total of 30 days, indeed actual dates of those 30 days are requested to state
in the application form; indeed the applicant must have already been a
registered voter in Malaysia. Some commented that the registration was too
short as the postal voting was offered in December 2012, five months before the
Parliament was due to expire. </span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In my opinion, the main reason for
the poor response of postal voters is the incredibility of Election Commission
as well as the process of postal votes counting in doubt. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">First, the Chairman as well as the
deputy chairman and five members of Election Commission (EC) that is set up to
regulate and conduct <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Malaysia" title="Elections in Malaysia"><span lang="EN-US">elections</span></a> in
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia"><span lang="EN-US">Malaysia</span></a>, are selected
with the advice of the Prime Minister, who is the Head of the ruling political
coalition! By right all members of the Commission shall be appointed by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_di-Pertuan_Agong" title="Yang di-Pertuan Agong"><span lang="EN-US">Yang
di-Pertuan Agong</span></a> (King) after the consultation with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conference_of_Rulers" title="Conference of Rulers"><span lang="EN-US">Conference
of Rulers</span></a> <span lang="EN-US">that comprises the nine rulers of
the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_states" title="Malay states"><span lang="EN-US">Malay states</span></a>,
and the governors of the other four states. Indeed, the Commission must have the
confidence of the public. However, although the Constitution does not expressly
require consultation with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Malaysia" title="Prime Minister of Malaysia"><span lang="EN-US">Prime Minister</span></a> in this regard, it has been
argued that under Article 40 of the Constitution, the King cannot act on his
own discretion unless explicitly stated; in all other cases, he must acquiesce
to the advice of the Prime Minister, and as such the appointments to the
Commission are made with the advice of the Prime Minister.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Second, the public confidence in the EC is eroded. A number of
irregularities in postal voter registration mostly Malaysians residing in
China, has been detected. It is reported that some have been made postal voters
without their consent. For example, a housewife residing in Shanghai for more
than 15 years, and not under any of the EC`s eligible postal voter categories,
i.e. a public servant, military (personnel) or a full time student, was made a
postal voter without application, without consent, without knowledge, in July
2013, before postal voters are open to civilian overseas Malaysians. In another
case, a secondary school teacher in Klang was also made a postal voter without
her consent, although she is in Malaysia and had studied in Beijing more than 9
years ago. Till date, she is still a postal voter and hence her constitutional
right has been unfairly denied as she is unable to vote at her constituency in
Seputeh unless she flies to vote at the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing Meanwhile,
a businessperson residing in Shanghai for over 9 years found himself registered
as a voter in Kelantan, although he has never been to the state. Even stranger,
he has never registered as a voter. (Voters are not automatically made in
Malaysia. Malaysians age more than 21 years old must submit their application
to register as voters.) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="usercontent">On the other hand, while many Malaysians flying home
to vote, there are at least two Malaysians known to have to fly out from
Malaysia to vote in Taiwan. One is a Malaysian guy who studied in Taiwan in
2004 and stayed in Taiwan for 8 years until 2012 is shocked to find out that he
is listed as a postal voter in Taipei without his consent as he has never
applied as a postal voter. Another is a graduate student pursuing his doctorate
studies in Malaysia who studied in Taiwan in 2003 for 10 years. Although the
coming Polling Date will be the first time for them to vote, they joked that
perhaps it would not be the first time “they” vote as they believe phantoms
have voted for them in the last general election. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="usercontent">Third, the postal votes will not been counted on the
same day at the Malaysian embassies, but seven days after the ballot papers
being transported back from overseas to a counting center in Malaysia. Due to
previous malpractice of EC being reported, overseas Malaysians concern that
their votes are exposed under the risk of manipulation during the
transportation process.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are cases of
vote manipulations happened even at polling stations in Malaysia as well. The well-spread
case comes from my hometown – Lumut, Perak. According to the locals, Kong Cho
Ha, a candidate under BN, supposedly should have been lost. The votes were
counted two times and he confirmed lost. However, out of a sudden, the counting
station went out of electricity supply. When the electricity supply resumed,
there was a box of ballot papers sitting in the counting station that apparently
had been missed out. In the end, Kong Cho Ha won by the skin of his teeth with
the slight majority of 298 votes, indeed through postal votes. Kong Cho Ha
later was appointed as the Transport Minister. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes, Malaysians who
have long learnt with the slogan of “Malaysia Boleh!” (literally “Malaysia
Can”) that it turned out to be a national joke that any ridiculous and
unreasonable thing can happen in Malaysia, are aware that there is no assurance
even voting within Malaysia. However, after experiencing the watershed moment
in Malaysian history dubbed “Malaysia´s political tsunami” that shocked the
nation that a change of government could nearly been happened, concerned
Malaysians who are sick of ruling politicians playing racial cards want to
endeavor their very best to kick out corruption as well as to restore damaged
systems in Malaysia. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the last general
election in 2008, the ruling National Front Coalition (Barisan Nasional/BN)
that is dominated by the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) along with
the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) and the Malaysian Indian Congress
(MIC), as well as ten smaller parties, lost its customary two-thirds
parliamentary majority which is needed to change the constitution and only won
137 of the 222 seats. 4 out of the 13 Malaysian states were lost to the People
Coalition (Pakatan Rakyat/PR) formed by the three major opposition parties
namely the People<b>’</b>s
Justice Party (PKR), the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), and the Democratic
Action Party (DAP). Indeed, out of the 222 seats in parliament, 56 (or over
25%) are in Sabah (25) and Sarawak (31), leading some to label these states as
“kingmakers” or “fixed deposits of BN”. Had Sabah and Sarawak not brought in
their 56 seats in the last elections, there could have been a change of
government. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Besides a close
chance the federal government would have been changed, the historic Election
2008 has marked four states of Perak, Penang, Kedah and Selangor experienced
change of state government for the first time in history, while Kelantan
retained by PAS. However a year later, three PR assemblymen in Perak jumped
from PR to BN and sparked the collapse of the PR state government in Perak.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Being alert of a real possibility of losing for the first time in
history in the upcoming GE13, BN has been utilizing its ruling machineries to
win votes. The long list reaches from vote buying, stuffing of ballot boxes,
bussing of voters to other constituencies and multiple voting, to granting
quick citizenship with voting rights to illegal immigrants (mainly from
Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan). Under the 1Malaysia
People’s Aid program, vouchers in several amounts of money from RM250 and RM500
have been giving out to the elderly as well as low-income families that
followed with the message reminders verbally and in written phone message “Remember
to vote for BN”. In addition, two weeks after the Parliament dissolved, the
Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Deputy Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong under
the “Caretaker Government” summoned 6,000 primary school teachers to meet and
reminded that civil servants must vote for the ruling coalition.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Largely due to the concern of deteriorating crimes and environmental
issues, Malaysians endeavor to change their destiny with mobilizing each other
at home and abroad to vote so that a peaceful transition of ruling power can
happen in a democracy way. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Despite restrictions on freedoms of
assembly, speech, and the press, Malaysian civil society has moved even more
diverse and vibrant. A few NGOs are formed such as “BERSIH” (literally
“CLEAN”) that calls for a clean election, “ABU” (Malay “Asal Bukan UMNO”,
literally “As long as it is not UMNO”) that aims to detect phantom voters, as
well as “Mamas Bersih” with mothers coming out from houses and going to streets
speaking to the Public to create awareness over social issues. Besides that,
even few mainstream newspapers that are haunted by media censorship transmit
some hidden messages of “Change” in their own creative ways. What is more,
based on my personal interaction, they are long-term supporters of BN who will
either switch their voting preference or they say they will not come out to
vote this time. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin: 12pt 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The limelight of GE13 in Malaysia has drawn the hearts of millions of
Malaysians at home and abroad closer should they know each other in real life
or merely in the cyber world. They endeavor their best at their own capacity
and demonstrate solidarity in calling for more to come out and fly back to vote
in Malaysia.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">From a population of 28 million people, about 13.3 million Malaysians are
eligible to vote, with about 3 million being first-time voters. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Among more than a million Malaysians living overseas, at least 90% of
overseas Malaysians numbering between 300,000 and 500,000 work/reside in
Singapore. In conjunction with “Malaysians go home to vote campaign”,
easibook.com and catchhatbus.com have jointly launched a promotion bus fare for
all Malaysians working in Singapore to go home to vote. In addition, Malaysians
working in Singapore have also arranged carpool online. Norman Goh will fly
back from Singapore to vote in his origin state – Sarawak. He added that some his
fellows who are from the interior part of Borneo Forest not only need to fly
two hours from Singapore, but also drive two hours and 3 hours by boat upon
their landing.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">All bus tickets travelling from Singapore to various parts of Malaysia
are sold out within a day on the EC´s announcement of the Polling Date. One of
the bus operators, Five Stars Tours is considering expanding its daily
operations to 100 coaches daily from the present 50. Besides, there are groups
have also approached bus companies to charter entire coaches. In addition,
there are individuals offered online through social media sites such as
Facebook to cross the border of Singapore and Malaysia multiple times in a day
in order to transport Malaysians back home to vote. Later, EC reminded
foreigners, projecting Singaporeans, not to drive Malaysian voters to enter
Malaysia in their vehicles of foreign-registered car plates.</span></span></div>

“Bersih Hong Kong” estimates about 800 Malaysians working in South China
(Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Macau) fly back to vote in Malaysia. Lee Willson, the
key person in “Bersih Hong Kong”: “Malaysia is our home, it is our basic duty
to safeguard it and see improvements to it. Coupled with cases of phantom
voting, a high voting turnout rate will minimize the fraud at the same time
offers a better chance of stability in the event there is regime change or hung
parliament.” </span></span></div>

be rescheduled, not mentioning family arrangements as children are still
schooling.” Nevertheless, he added “Wherever we are, home is a place where we
ultimately belong, its well-being being determined by political factors. We
shall not let inferiors rule over us without us having a say in how we want our
resources managed. The progress of Malaysia should have nothing to do with

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Francis Dass, a Malaysian working in Kabul, Afghanistan, waits anxiously
for the leave approval from his boss. He explained: “Election is announced
after I just came back from a three-week home vacation which was one of three
annual vacations allowed by my company. However, I insist to fly home to vote
rather than voting as a postal voter due to my concern of possible malpractice
in the postal voting system.”</span></span></div>

“Flying Home to Vote” postcard while she was heading back to her hometown Perak
at the Los Angeles Airport. She said: “I am flying home from Los Angeles to
cast my precious vote! I refuse to be a dumb anymore for my grandchildren and
next generations. I love my country. I love the land where I have grown up ~
Malaysia! Change!”</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some overseas Malaysians especially those live in the North America and
Europe, although they not be able to fly back to vote due to various reasons, some
have registered as postal voters whilst some insist not to register due to the
anxiety of their postal votes being manipulated. Nevertheless, they have also joined
the force of influencing as many votes as they can from the closest network of
family and friends to vote for change.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thousands of Malaysians overseas spend their own pocket money to
purchase air tickets, tolerate the long-haul journeys, overcome the
inconvenience caused in their daily life and sacrifice their precious time to
fly home to vote. Countless number of Malaysians campaign untiringly in physical
life and/or in cyber world. Their hopes are merely: Kick out corruption as well
as racism, establish a bi-partisan system that encourages
counter-check-and-balance culture as well as to restore a clean, green, safe
and progressive country for all Malaysians! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Without many being aware, Malaysians at home and abroad have
demonstrated the spirit of solidarity and they have united across all ethnics. Indeed,
the upcoming GE13 may mark the beginning of the end of racial politics which
has been a practice for politicians to win votes since Malaysia obtained
independence in 1957 by BN coalition that is defined on explicitly racial
lines: one for Malays, the country’s largest ethnic group; one for Chinese; and
one for Indians. But in recent years, the cohesion of those groups has begun to
fray.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Opinion polls suggest
a narrow win for the National Front with the head of BN coalition Najib faces
pressure to return the party to its two-thirds majority in parliament.
According to a survey of 1021 voters in Peninsular Malaysia conducted between
23 January and 6 February 2013 by Merdeka Centre, an opinion research firm, the
Prime Minister’s approval rating fell to the lowest in 18 months which slipped
even further to 61% from 63% at the end of December 2012 and from 65% in
November 2012. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The survey also
detected movements in voter sentiments towards the government and the ruling BN
whereby 48% said they were “happy with the government” while 45% reported they
were “happy with BN”. The survey also found declines from among Malay
respondents towards the government and BN. The survey found Chinese voters, who
make up about one-quarter of the country’s population of nearly 30 million,
have abandoned the BN coalition in large numbers, and the Malays who have
dominated the political hierarchy for five decades are divided. According to
the survey, while satisfaction among Chinese and Indian voters remained at 34%
and 75% respectively, the sentiment among Malay voters had declined 4% from 77%
to 73%. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The survey also
stated that 20% strong feel and 36% feel the country is moving towards the
right direction while 28% strong feel and 9% feel the country is moving towards
the wrong direction, with 7% answered unsure and 1% refused to comment.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is believed that first-time
voters, who make up a significant 30% of the total 13.3 million voter
population, are seen to be the kingmakers in the GE13. Nevertheless, the number
may include 2 millions of foreign workers who have obtained quick Malaysian
nationality with voting rights as claimed to have detected by ABU, among Malaysians
who have never voted in their whole life but they feel the urge to vote now.</span></span></div>

I'm a Malaysian citizen who's been living in
Switzerland since I married my German husband two and a half years ago. Ever
since I made the move to Europe, though, I've been keeping an eye on the
political situation back in my native country. Earlier this year, when it
became apparent that a general election was imminent, I flew back to Malaysia
-- 6,200 miles away -- just so that I could vote.
<br />
<div class="gray_nav_opt addthis_default_style" id="share-box">
</div>
Unfortunately, after my arrival, the government
decided to hold off on calling the new election, so when I couldn't wait any
longer I flew back to Zurich -- only to hear the news that Prime Minister Najib
Razak had dissolved parliament. Soon after that the date of the new election
was set: May 5.
<br />
So I turned around and <a href="http://amalaysianlivingabroad.blogspot.ch/2013/04/my-flight-is-purchased-how-about-yours.html" target="_blank">flew
back</a> to Malaysia.<br />
<br />
Yeah, it's crazy. But I'm not the only one. Many of my
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Q_3DeJd7g" target="_blank">compatriots</a> in
Malaysia's far-flung expat community -- it's estimated that there are around one
million of us around the world -- are doing the same thing. That's a reflection
of how high the stakes are in the upcoming election -- and how strongly many of
us want to vote for change.

【Koh Wee Sun: 更正一下】
『Kerani 3的部分,想更正一下。如果是我弄错请告诉我。
Kerani 3 应该要先chop stamp在选票的虚线上,撕下选票后,选票上有半个chop stamp,票根有半个chop stamp 才对吧。』
Via- Koh Wee Sun
一开始, Eunice Lee 来问我,是否可以带着三岁和六岁进去投票室投票,我说最好找人看着孩子,她说所有人都去投票了。没人看顾。
后来她再问当监票员的事情,我心里想,带着三岁和六岁的孩子,怎样当监票员啊?她还鼓励澳洲回来的朋友也当监票员,我把我整理的监票员课程的link 给她,我就忘了这件事情了。
今天看到她很细心的把上监票员课程的笔记整理好放在她墙上,我有点惊讶的问她:这次你会当监票员吗?她说会。
如果一个带着三岁和六岁孩子的妈妈,那么积极的去当监票员,那么,我们还有什么借口不继续努力?
前进吧。
这是Eunice 整理的笔记,请大家珍惜,广传吧。
請大家細讀了之後,回家告訴你身邊的家人朋友親戚鄰居同事。
我們投票者要了解和注意的事項:
(一)把我們的 IC 面交給 Kerani 1。Kerani 1 會念出我們的 BIL no(在名單里的 reference no),IC no 和我們的名字(這三樣而已!)。然後用筆刪掉我們的名字以證明我們已來報到投票。注意:只有Kerani 1 可以手握筆;Kerani 1 是不可以念其他的 nombor 的(比如特別的 serial no)。
(二)接著,Kerani 2 會把墨汁擦在我們的左食指(不可以有指甲油)。注意:Kerani 2 手上不可以有筆做任何的記號;墨汁請不要沾到手上要拿的投票表;擦了墨汁的食指更不要碰到投票表。
(三)接著,Kerani 3 會先撕下投票表,然後在投票表上 chop 一個完整的 stamp(一定是要完整的 stamp 在你的投票表左邊!),接著會對半摺了交給你。馬上把投票表打開,檢查投票表是否有寫任何字跡或暗號,如有請馬上要求換投票表(或告訴在旁的 Pacaba)。注意:投票表是不可以 chop 了才撕的;Kerani 3 是不可以拿筆和做任何記號的。
你們知道嗎?
--一早起來刷了牙洗了臉就去投票。不要有機會被幽靈用掉你的票!
--請不要穿 Bersih 衣服,Stop Lynas 衣服和與任何政黨有關的衣服去投票,拜託拜託!不要!
--308 大選時,墨汁已經被列入投票選舉里,但確沒有實行到。然而,當時買墨汁的費用確不見了。2013 年應屆大選的新選民增加了,而墨汁的費用確起了 4 倍(RM10 million)!為甚麼??你知我明,大家都很清楚。
--墨汁在三,四天后其實是會退色的。軍警的票確可以在五月五的一個禮拜前就投票了。可疑點很多。。。。
--過去曾經發生過的事情,明明 5 點就閉門不能投票的了,可是官員確說上頭下令可以延遲到 7 pm。結果來投的都是投給我們不支持的黨。Pacaba 是可以阻止到的。所以,Pacaba 重要嗎?非常地重要!!!!
--我們不鼓勵投票者向 Kerani 3 要求 randomly 拿投票表。因為我們不要製造混亂和拖延投票時間。而 Kerani 3 是有權力因此而趕你出去的。你知道嗎,今年的選舉每一間課室里會有 700 到 800 個選民(在名單里)。投票的時間是從 8 am - 5 pm, 700 個選民除於 9 個小時(540 分鐘)是 77 妙的時間而已。神哶?????誰會那麼快呀?而點墨汁的過程加上拿票填票投票,會花上的時間根本就會超過三分鐘!!所以,請大家守次序,小心翼翼為妙。
--曾經發生過的臭事,有人的票被買了而當廢票。所以,如果有人跟你說,我用多少多少錢向你買票,請舉報。
--如果有藍 IC 的外勞當天去投票,Pacaba 是無權阻止他們投票的(不過,我們會讓他們填一張 form,交給警局。不過,我是覺得這有屁用啊?!)。所以,請所有的老闆們不要讓外勞在 5/5 請假。
--東馬的一票等於我們西馬的八票。所以他們更需要 Pacaba 團隊!
--今天在場的一位說她在 London 的朋友從沒登記過,確在 SPR 里找到名字。在這種情況下,如果這位朋友不能回來投票/不要回來投票,請查詢他的投票資料,然後馬上交給他投票區的反對黨負責團(就是反對黨候選人),他們會下險境抓幽靈!!!(set a trap!)
--如果還沒登記而不能投票的朋友,確又想參與 Pacaba 和盡點力,請馬上連絡任何一個 Pacaba 負責人,報上大名。
--如果 308 大選是已經當過 Pacaba 了,這一次還想要重出江湖,當 Pacaba,非常歡迎。最好是再去上一次課,因為這一次的投票方式和上一屆會有一點點的不同。如果不行,要上網閱讀。還是小心為妙。
--我們的目的是要改朝換代,把民聯帶進 Putrajaya。因此我們要拉票,要保護票,更要把廢票的機率降低,甚至是零廢票!而現在,Pacaba 的角色是非常非常重要的。如果在每一間課室里都有 Pacaba 負責人,我們每一個票箱里的票就不會被偷換掉,這是非常非常重要的關鍵。一間課室會有 700-800 張票,至少一個到兩個 Pacaba 人員。所以,我們是一,兩個 Pacaba 保護 700-800 人。因此,Pacaba 重要嗎???否則,投多少張票給我們的支持者都非常容易地被浪費掉了。很可惜啊!
--Pacaba 人員是沒有時間去喝水,上廁所,吃午飯,休息的(除非有其他的 Pacaba 人員可以相互交替工作時間)。所以我們鼓吹多多人去參與 Pacaba 團隊來分工合作,分擔工作時間。人的工作能力和集中能力是有限的!所以,請大家幫幫忙,盡力去當 Pacaba 人員,以去 Bersih 的精神和勇氣加入 Pacaba 的團隊!每一個 Pacaba 人員都特別重要!(由於很多人都沒有辦法出席週末的 Pacaba 課程,我會再去詢問如何在网上閱讀 Pacaba 的工作質詢等,讓大家一起分享,good luck to me)

<span class="text_exposed_show"></span>虽然长了一点,但这是个非常重要的讯息,<br />
花大家一点宝贵的时间,请细读!<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> <br /> 一开始, Eunice Lee 来问我,是否可以带着三岁和六岁进去投票室投票,我说最好找人看<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>着孩子,她说所有人都去投票了。没人看顾。<br /> <br /> 后来她再问当监票员的事情,我心里想,带着三岁和六岁的孩子,怎<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>样当监票员啊?她还鼓励澳洲回来的朋友也当监票员,我把我整理的<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>监票员课程的link 给她,我就忘了这件事情了。<br /> <br /> 今天看到她很细心的把上监票员课程的笔记整理好放在她墙上,我有<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>点惊讶的问她:这次你会当监票员吗?她说会。<br /> <br /> 如果一个带着三岁和六岁孩子的妈妈,那么积极的去当监票员,那么<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>,我们还有什么借口不继续努力?<br /> <br /> 前进吧。<br /> <br /> 这是Eunice 整理的笔记,请大家珍惜,广传吧。<br /> <br /> 請大家細讀了之後,回家告訴你身邊的家人朋友親戚鄰居同事。<br /> <br /> 我們投票者要了解和注意的事項:<br /> <br /> (一)把我們的 IC 面交給 Kerani 1。Kerani 1 會念出我們的 BIL no(在名單里的 reference no),IC no 和我們的名字(這三樣而已!)。然後用筆刪掉我們的名字以證明我<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>們已來報到投票。注意:只有Kerani 1 可以手握筆;Kerani 1 是不可以念其他的 nombor 的(比如特別的 serial no)。<br /> <br /> (二)接著,Kerani 2 會把墨汁擦在我們的左食指(不可以有指甲油)。注意:Keran<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>i 2 手上不可以有筆做任何的記號;墨汁請不要沾到手上要拿的投票表;<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>擦了墨汁的食指更不要碰到投票表。<br /> <br /> (三)接著,Kerani 3 會先撕下投票表,然後在投票表上 chop 一個完整的 stamp(一定是要完整的 stamp 在你的投票表左邊!),接著會對半摺了交給你。馬上把投票表打開<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>,檢查投票表是否有寫任何字跡或暗號,如有請馬上要求換投票表(<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>或告訴在旁的 Pacaba)。注意:投票表是不可以 chop 了才撕的;Kerani 3 是不可以拿筆和做任何記號的。<br /> <br /> 你們知道嗎?<br /> <br /> --一早起來刷了牙洗了臉就去投票。不要有機會被幽靈用掉你的票<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>!<br /> <br /> --請不要穿 Bersih 衣服,Stop Lynas 衣服和與任何政黨有關的衣服去投票,拜託拜託!不要!<br /> <br /> --308 大選時,墨汁已經被列入投票選舉里,但確沒有實行到。然而,當時<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>買墨汁的費用確不見了。2013 年應屆大選的新選民增加了,而墨汁的費用確起了 4 倍(RM10 million)!為甚麼??你知我明,大家都很清楚。<br /> <br /> --墨汁在三,四天后其實是會退色的。軍警的票確可以在五月五的<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>一個禮拜前就投票了。可疑點很多。。。。<br /> <br /> --過去曾經發生過的事情,明明 5 點就閉門不能投票的了,可是官員確說上頭下令可以延遲到 7 pm。結果來投的都是投給我們不支持的黨。Pacaba 是可以阻止到的。所以,Pacaba 重要嗎?非常地重要!!!!<br /> <br /> --我們不鼓勵投票者向 Kerani 3 要求 randomly 拿投票表。因為我們不要製造混亂和拖延投票時間。而 Kerani 3 是有權力因此而趕你出去的。你知道嗎,今年的選舉每一間課室里會<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>有 700 到 800 個選民(在名單里)。投票的時間是從 8 am - 5 pm, 700 個選民除於 9 個小時(540 分鐘)是 77 妙的時間而已。神哶?????誰會那麼快呀?而點墨汁的過程加上<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>拿票填票投票,會花上的時間根本就會超過三分鐘!!所以,請大家<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>守次序,小心翼翼為妙。<br /> <br /> --曾經發生過的臭事,有人的票被買了而當廢票。所以,如果有人<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>跟你說,我用多少多少錢向你買票,請舉報。<br /> <br /> --如果有藍 IC 的外勞當天去投票,Pacaba 是無權阻止他們投票的(不過,我們會讓他們填一張 form,交給警局。不過,我是覺得這有屁用啊?!)。所以,請<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>所有的老闆們不要讓外勞在 5/5 請假。<br /> <br /> --東馬的一票等於我們西馬的八票。所以他們更需要 Pacaba 團隊!<br /> <br /> --今天在場的一位說她在 London 的朋友從沒登記過,確在 SPR 里找到名字。在這種情況下,如果這位朋友不能回來投票/不要回來<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>投票,請查詢他的投票資料,然後馬上交給他投票區的反對黨負責團<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>(就是反對黨候選人),他們會下險境抓幽靈!!!(set a trap!)<br /> <br /> --如果還沒登記而不能投票的朋友,確又想參與 Pacaba 和盡點力,請馬上連絡任何一個 Pacaba 負責人,報上大名。<br /> <br /> --如果 308 大選是已經當過 Pacaba 了,這一次還想要重出江湖,當 Pacaba,非常歡迎。最好是再去上一次課,因為這一次的投票<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>方式和上一屆會有一點點的不同。如果不行,要上網閱讀。還是小心<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>為妙。<br /> <br /> --我們的目的是要改朝換代,把民聯帶進 Putrajaya。因此我們要拉票,要保護票,更要把廢票的機<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>率降低,甚至是零廢票!而現在,Pacaba 的角色是非常非常重要的。如果在每一間課室里都有 Pacaba 負責人,我們每一個票箱里的票就不會被偷換掉,這是非常非常重要<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>的關鍵。一間課室會有 700-800 張票,至少一個到兩個 Pacaba 人員。所以,我們是一,兩個 Pacaba 保護 700-800 人。因此,Pacaba 重要嗎???否則,投多少張票給我們的支持者都非常容易地被浪費<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>掉了。很可惜啊!<br /> <br /> --Pacaba 人員是沒有時間去喝水,上廁所,吃午飯,休息的(除非有其他的 Pacaba 人員可以相互交替工作時間)。所以我們鼓吹多多人去參與 Pacaba 團隊來分工合作,分擔工作時間。人的工作能力和集中能力是有限的<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>!
所以,請大家幫幫忙,盡力去當 Pacaba 人員,以去 Bersih 的精神和勇氣加入 Pacaba 的團隊!每一個 Pacaba
人員都特別重要!(由於很多人都沒有辦法出席週末的 Pacaba 課程,我會再去詢問如何在网上閱讀 Pacaba
的工作質詢等,讓大家一起分享,good luck to me)<br /> <br /> 以上都是我所能分享的資訊。今天的 Trainer 說了一句很 clear and simple 的 message:我們不是任何黨派的,我們只是要一個 clean and fair election。所以,我們每一個人一定要非常了解整個投票的<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>程序和漏洞,以達到我們所有人的目的。</span></div>
