If the BN government is not interested in electoral reforms, another Bersih rally is in order to pressure them to show that we are not fools and we mean business.
The current Parliament session ends on April 12. But till now the electoral reforms promised by the federal government is nothing but a sham.
The Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) is moving at a snail’s pace and is in fact a dirty delaying tactic by the government to hoodwink the rakyat.
This is totally unacceptable and the 13th general election is certainly going to be the dirtiest ever in Malaysian history.
There are already evidences of this:
1. Non-Malaysians in the voter rolls – at least 230,000 names detected.
2. Many names (between 20 and 100) registered under the same address - hundreds of thousands of these.
3. Deleting voters’ records – at least 107,000 names of perfectly eligible voters deleted.
4. Shifting of voters here and there especially to a faraway state.
5. Retired army personnel still classified as postal voters when in fact they should be ordinary voters.
6. Election Commission (EC) workers registered as postal voters - 240,000 names detected.
Instant-noodle citizenships are being given to foreign workers in Malaysia. The latest case involves about 100 Indonesians in Lembah Jaya, Selangor who were flood victims. PAS party workers found out about this when they were helping out in flood-relief work.
As for the multiple names under the same address, one of the victims is the mother of PKR Gombak MP Azmin Ali. Azmin found out that there were more than 10 names registered under her address although she is living alone.
Shifting voters
Shifting voters here and there is another dirty ploy by the Election Commission. PAS Kuala Selangor MP Dzulkefly Ahmad’s relative’s name was transferred from Negeri Sembilan (where she has been residing for a long time and previously voted) to Butterworth.
Even the current Menteri Besar of Selangor Khalid Ibrahim had his name transferred from the constituency of PJ Selatan in Selangor to Lembah Pantai in KL.
Dzulkefly and his family members’ names had gone missing from the voter rolls last year but their names were re-instated after his wife lodged a complaint about it.
Ordinary voter Ho Heng Thong aged 54, lodged a police report stating that his name was missing from the voter rolls. He is a Selangor
voter. In the 2008 general election, he and his wife voted in the state seat of Bukit Lanjan and parliament seat of Subang but this time his name is missing while his wife’s name is still on the voter rolls at this point in time.
As for postal votes, the hanky-panky is tremendous. Large blocs of postal votes are added in Pakatan Rakyat seats. PKR MP Nurul Izzah Anwar is one of the victims of such manipulations by the EC.
The government must be given another harsh warning that the rakyat will not tolerate any hanky-panky from them. If the government is not interested in electoral reforms there should be another Bersih rally to pressure them to show that we are not fools and we mean business.
Otherwise, we will be having foreign workers deciding the fate of the nation. We must not let the government pull the wool over our eyes.
Looks like the PSC is dragging its feet in its effort to get all of Bersih’s eight demands implemented.
It is now obvious that this PSC was set up by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to con the rakyat. The Pakatan MPs sitting on the PSC have voiced out that the EC is dragging its feet over reforms by making empty promises.
It is time to stop the rot
Najib has also warned that the 13th general election can be held anytime and does not have to take into account the PSC’s recommendations.
The rakyat must not accept fraudulent vote results. It is obvious that BN will bulldoze their way to victory in the polls so that they can reduce subsidies and implement new taxes to enrich themselves and their cronies.
BN leaders, meanwhile, have attacked Pakatan leaders by saying that they can only make promises while BN has done the execution. Of course at this stage Pakatan can only make promises as Pakatan is not the federal government.
This line of attack by BN shows that BN leaders have run out of ideas and the only way they can win at the polls is by cheating.
Fore more than 54 years, BN thieves and robbers have helmed the nation. It is time to put in people who are interested in good governance. Otherwise Malaysia will continue to be a laggard in Asia.
As it is now, most of the foreign direct investments coming into Malaysia are going into the Pakatan states of Penang and Selangor.
Say no to lying
Malaysians must muster up courage to say no to a lying and cheating government. It is time to stop the rot and free and fair elections are the order of the day.
BN leaders always harp on Pakatan winning five states in the previous polls saying how can Pakatan win if the polls are dirty? This line of argument is deficient.
The opposition won in spite of the riggings and this indicates that many people support the opposition. If not for the rigged polls, the opposition would have won many more seats.
Still, as the PSC is still having its meetings we have to give them the final chance to do what is right. If after this there are still no electoral reforms then Bersih 3.0 must be held as soon as possible in late April or early May as the general election is likely to be held in June.
The people must brace themselves for change. It will be difficult at first and a lot of adjustment is needed but it is well worth the sacrifice for a better Malaysia for one and all.
Otherwise, if BN is to win again for the umpteenth time, the economy will be in dire straits and the ordinary rakyat will suffer. This is due to the high debt ratio of 54% per GDP, wage-stagnation, rising inflation, rising cost of living and high percentage of household debt (77%).
