Drastic Increase of voters in Pekan

Most Malaysians want CHANGE. However, why BN still continues to be in power. 

Here provides a window for the answer. 

Pekan is the constutition of the BN head. Pekan has 31,826 residents, however 80,260 registered voters! From GE12 to GE13, there is an increase of 22,043 new voters in Pekan!

 

 

 

 

The Economist: Malaysia’s election - A dangerous result

"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."

The Economist: Malaysia’s election - A dangerous result

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 He has repealed some oppressive, colonial-era laws.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.

Look again, however, and Malaysian politics seems near breakdown (see article). 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.

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.

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.

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.

Show your true colours

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.

Go to Kampungs

Those voted for BN, besides benefited knoni groups, most are cheated for merely few hundreds of pocket money and promises of monthly monetary help. Nevertheless, it is us who shall do more education work in the future, as those live in poverty and hv lower education can only think for the present moment but not long term. Besides social media, we gonna work on the ground, do more work in rural areas especially kampungs. We shall launch free alternative Malay newspapers to distribute on bi-monthly or monthly basis. Besides vote buying, Information is blocked for people in rural areas from mainstream newspapers, thus they most likely are not aware of the danger of Lynas, destruction of national systems and severe corruption practised by BN. We must masuk kampung and do our ground work in kampung, instead of in cities.

There is still Hope!

Landed zurich airport. Heart has unspoken pain. In the plane, i hv bn thinking: How can i do more for my home country?

Our hearts are in pain. Nevertheless, my fellow Malaysians, we must continue our mission in the nation building of Malaysia. Malaysians at home and overseas shall work closer in contributing our resources here and there to bring our nation out from dismay.

There is still Hope! Because Malaysians across all ethics are great people! We are warm, we are friendly, we hv multiple skills, we are united! Together, we are strong!

 

In the morning of 6th May 2013, a Malaysian girl was detected holding a signboard written 

"Don´t Give Up" at KLCC. 

She stood all by her own by the road side!

Holy duty completed. Mission still goes on!

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.

Nevertheless, mission for a better Malaysia still goes on...

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.

letter to UN & Transparency International

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).

 

 Thanks.

 

Address to:

Ladies and gentlemen,

 

"Dear United Nations and Transparency International,

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.

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.

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^thMalaysian General Election.

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?

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!” (http://www.causes.com/actions/1749459-stop-your-people-intervene-our-local-politics).Currently more than 15,000 Malaysians have expressed their objection anddissatisfaction through this petition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

Thank you.

Regards,

(Your name) and concerned Malaysians

Spread the word: Every Malaysian must come out to vote!

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."

I joined her immediately: "I just flew back from Switzerland yesterday. Thousands of overseas Malaysians are flying back long... 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!"

i dnt know the name of the lady back fm Perth, i wd like to say: She is great!

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.

 

• Huynh Lam Dieu: Coming back from vietnam

   
• Shermayne Chong I just flew back from Melbourne yesterday! Every Malaysian must come out to vote! :D
 

Ghost Buster Action!

BERSIH 4.0:
"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. If you really met a phantom voter, you can pretend to chat with them, ask questions like "Where do you live? Are you first time voter? Have not seen you before aroun...d here, that kind of topics, if they start to get nervous or cannot speak in Malay, you must immediately notify the nearest Asal Bukan Umno (ABU) members or members of Pakatan Rakyat, they know how to act!

If you are a Polling Agent, when you encounter foreign workers and doubt their identity, you can request KTM to check their identity, but you cannot stop them from voting. 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.

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. We want clean and fair election! May God bless us all.



当你们在排队或投票学校范围遇到外劳，千万别叫他唱国歌，因为这是违反了选举法令因为你企图确认他们的身份。如果真的遇到，假装和他们普通聊天，比如 ”你住哪里的？第一次投票吗？之前没看过你在这里的“之类的话，如果他们开始答非所问或者紧张，立刻通知附近的ABU成员或者民联的成员，他们懂要怎么做的！

如果你是监票员，你遇到外劳怀疑他们的身份，你可以要求Ketua Tempat Mengundi (KTM)检查他们的身份，但是你不能阻止他们投票。因为根据选举法令，只要选民的名字和身份证号码有在选民册里，而他的身份证也对的话，你不能拒绝他们投票，但是你只能要求KTM让他们填Borang 11,记得要和KTM拿一个副本给你的Ketua PACABA,因为这个可以作为证据，有什么问题抓人之后是可以补选的。千万要检查和确定选委会是否为你们准备这些表格，假如没有准备，你们要自备这些表格。

投票后，不要马上回家。在投票中心外聊天或逗留一段时间，以协助ABU或民联的成员检测幽灵选民。请为你的国家出一点力。我们要干净和公平的选举!"

ABU: "I have previously appealed to you to remain at your polling stations after you have voted, to defend the same. I make the same appeal now. However, I am going to list below the constituencies that are particularly vulnerable and, based on information coming in, are where the foreigners are expected to be deployed. We need you to defend these constituencies.

Every Malaysian must come out to vote!

23 hours after i came out from my house in Switzerland and got into trains and planes, i have landed safely in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, back to my homeland.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted to take a picture, but i was at the middle of the gate of the arrival hall, everyone was walking fast.

Nevertheless, pictures of Bangladesh arriving at KLIA have been taken by other Malaysians and have been spread on social media.

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!
