BERSIH 3.0 RALLY TO THE RESCUE
Without a thorough investigation of such a questionable electoral roll, and denied the right to oversee the polling process, and without implementing any of the demanded reform, what chance is there to prevent the most unfair election in our history from occurring?
It is for this reason that the Bersih 3.0 rally which has become a global event with simultaneous demonstrations by Malaysian Diasporas in more than 40 cities around the world will prove to be crucial in the nation’s struggle to regain its lost democratic heritage and determine the fate of the nation for generations to come.
Despite the police and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) having barred the usage of the iconic Dataran Merdeka, Bersih is adamant on holding its protest there on Saturday.
“No other venue located outside of central KL can offer similar convenience,” the two co-chairpersons said in a joint statement.
Ambiga Sreenevasan said that, between now and Saturday, Bersih will keep negotiating with the police and DBKL to be given access to the square.
A Samad Said reiterated that the venue will not be changed, as it is a strategic one and is accessible by various means of public transportation such are light rail transit, KTM Komuter and buses.
Ambiga said Bersih is disappointed that the organisers are being given the run-around despite assurances by Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein that the coalition for clean and fair elections is not a threat.
“Yes we are extremely disappointed that DBKL does not allow us to gather at Dataran Merdeka, (when) other events (have been) held there in the past.
“DBKL had given us an alternative venue (at its) Cheras and Titiwangsa stadiums. One of these is located in the residential area.
‘We do not know whether they are sincere but after consulting with the rest of the NGOs comprising Bersih we have decided yesterday to stick to Dataran Merdeka.”
She said there is too little time to shift the venue and that, even if there is a clampdown or not, the sit-in will be held there
THIS TAXI DRIVER IS WAITING FOR FOR THIS MOTHER OF ALL PROSTITUTE MIC and MCA has been accused of creating a “smokescreen” to conceal the true scale of poverty in the country after the government claimed to have lifted more than one million Indian above the threshold…

Listen ye rakyat. Big Brother BN has been around since your great-grandparents time. It still is here and will be around for another 100 years you bet. You have any issues with that?’
If Pakatan wins in the GE, insya Allah, and we have people like Ambiga and Pak Samad to lead the country sure Malaysia will turn around … Allah bless Malaysia
Remember, even if any anti-national ‘opposition’ party or parties secretly harbour a plan to take over our fortress Putrajaya, they will have to cross millions of our bodies and bones.
All lies
Listen when Big Brother BN talks. All that the anti-forces allege is not true. Allegation after allegation. That is all they can state. Have they produced any hard evidences? No. Just allegations. That is why we tell our main stream media not to waste time reporting all these ‘utter rubbish’.’
Parliament has dealt a devastating blow to the electoral reform movement that has heightened pre-election tension by several notches.
A last minute amendment to an election law in a jammed parliamentary session that ended at the ungodly hour of 3:21 AM on April 20 has practically stripped opposition alliance Pakatan Rakyat its last defence against much anticipated rampant frauds on polling day.
Chief among the regressive and obnoxious amendments to the Election Offence Act 1954 is the removal of the right of a candidate and his representatives to be present to observe the registration of voters in the polling station on polling day {by deleting Section 26A(1)&(2)}.
Without the chance to look at the IC of voters, how can a candidate spot a phantom voter? In an electoral roll notorious for its infestation of phantoms, doesn’t this stealthy move by the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) tantamount to opening the floodgate for frauds on a scale hitherto unimaginable?
And hasn’t this move also negated the introduction of indelible ink which is the only reform adapted by the Election Commission (EC) and the only fruit of the six months of labour by the Parliamentary Select Committee on electoral reform (PSC)?
What is the reason for this amendment? BN said the presence of a candidate’s staff will “cause difficulties” to the election officers. Asked for such reports in past elections, BN could give none.
Did we hear you whisper “Cowgate”? Look here simpleton citizens, how can any right minded leader keep a minister and have tens of thousands of women folk support the minister till this day if there was any wrong? Use common sense lah.
Isn’t this sneaky BN move a brazen attempt to commit daylight robbery? Isn’t this the clearest evidence that BN’s own self-esteem has descended so low that it has to resort to such shameful and dastardly act?
Another amendment that is in consonance with BN’s unabashed attempt to ‘steal’ the coming election is the removal of the requirement to have all printed materials to bear the name of printer and publisher {by deleting Section 11(1)(c)}. In a country which has seen gutter politics plunged to its lowest with BN cyber troopers and pornographic propagandists virtually enjoying impunity in spreading lies to vilify opposition leaders almost incessantly, such an virtual exemption for printers and publishers to take responsibilities is a blanket license for vilifiers to do what they like. Yes, this applies to both protagonists, but BN gains the upper hand in that it enjoys virtual impunity while its opponent does not.
As further evidence that Prime Minister Najib Razak initiative to institute electoral reform through the setting up of the PSC is an election gimmick with no intention to reform is proven in the fact that in the parliamentary session amending the election law, there was no mention of other PSC recommendations such as fair media coverage which is non-existing, and advance voting in lieu of lthe totally discredited postal voting. These are two key reform platforms demanded by Bersih 2.0, whose eight demands represent the consensus of all decent minded Malaysians who yearn for the restoration of some measure of democracy, starting with clean and fair election.
You see, Big Brother BN cannot be telling you all the secrets of our politics and administration. Otherwise our national security will be under threat.
But never mind. Since simpleton citizens lack common sense we tell you now ‘Listen when Big Brother speaks’ okay.
Jews and Big Brother BN
You keep harping and harbouring on sensational ‘Altantuyaism’. Are you people so broke? The prime minister’s silence is deliberate. He wants to merely give you all the rope you need to go hang yourselves finally.
Wait for the French investigations and court dramas to unfold and close as quickly. Then you will know that Big Brother BN was smart too. Do not fall into the pits of allegations spewed by the opposition.
Remember, if you think the Jews are good, Big Brother BN is even better.
Instead of meeting these demands, BN has regressed with these amendments by reducing transparency and encouraging dirty campaigning.
Instead of meeting these demands, BN has regressed with these amendments by reducing transparency and encouraging dirty campaigning.
BN should realize that at the core of our electoral plaque is an election commission which now enjoys practically zero public confidence and public trust through its increasingly open and daring political partisanship tilted towards BN.
It doesn’t help EC’s credibility when its chief Aziz Yusof made the ridiculous boast that he has the cleanest electoral roll in the world when flying in his face are numerous reports of irregularities and frauds in the electoral roll that emerge incessantly, particularly in recent months, on top of documented research which reveals hundreds of thousands, and now the latest, over 3 millions of dubious voters in an electoral roll of only 12 million.
Ong Kian Ming, the director of Malaysian Electoral Roll Analysis Project (Merap), an independent research group, revealed in a press conference on April 23, that in addition to the few hundred thousands of dubious voters registered with various irregularities reported by Merap earlier, there are 3.1 million potential non-resident voters which are in breach of Article 119 (1) (b) of the federal constitution which stipulates that only resident voters are qualified to vote.
This 3.1 million figure was arrived at by the National Registration Department (NRD) which carried out an exercise called Projek SPR in 2002 to identify cases of voters in Peninsular Malaysia whose IC addresses differ from their voting constituencies. Ong’s random survey of these “non-resident voters” indicate that many continue to remain “non-resident”, as EC seems to have made no effort to rectify this huge problem that was carried over from 2002, when EC instituted a new system whereby voters are not allowed to vote in constituencies that do not tally with their IC addresses.
Adding insult to injury is EC chief ’s decision not to revamp the electoral upon his hilarious claim of “best electoral roll”
That is why no country dares to land our shores. You see we even dare to spend so much to buy submarines – just to take care of your daily lives. So stop being ungrateful okay.
Wealth mismanagement – so what?
Did we hear some shouting here and there about BN mismanaging the nation’s wealth and economics? Aiya, why are you sillies so adamant? Did not Big Brother BN tell repeatedly that we are way off from going bust? We are a good 2% away from the bankruptcy mark. Trust Big Brother BN. Give us your vote and we will come back in full throttle to plug all leaks lah – and that also provided there are any leaks.
And mind you do not be so gullible as well, mistaking channeling of funds to mean leaks.
See we have cows. Now we are going ‘kambing’ in a big way too. Soon your bank accounts will be ringing with the sweet music of contracts and sub-contracts. With our rent-seeking formula, everyone will have an opportunity to make money on the ladder.
Education did we hear again? Aiya, you sillies never grow tired of this dog-fight. Your opposition has been harping on this for as long as anyone of you can remember. But look lah, look at all the sprawling universities we have been erecting for you. Look at all the international students pouring in from China to Africa. Do you still not get the drift?
Toll? Oh that is a non-issue. There is nothing that is free in this world. From north to south you can drive like a breeze, ‘apa lagi mau?’ It is very simple economics: ‘Tak mau bayar toll, jangan guna expressway lah’.
Who in the world is not corrupted?
Big Brother BN also heard your rumblings about corruption ‘sini dan sana’. Who in the world is not corrupted? You tell us lah. But at least in Malaysia Big Brother BN keeps it below the almost impossible benchmarks. Even the French give kickbacks. ‘Apa lagi mau cerita-eh?’
The world praises Big Brother BN for keeping all the races together. You forget so soon that even US State Secretary Hilary Clinton praised us as ‘moderates’ whom all our other neighbours must emulate.
Look here stop being a silly-billy. Just carry on doing your work, earning your monthly wages, eating, sleeping, shopping and lepaking. If you are stressed out, we even give you the jalanraya at night to go join the Mat Rempits.
Leave the job of running this country to Big Brother BN. We are the professionals. In fact we are the only one party in the world to successfully return to govern and have been the longest running party to form a government.
After GE-13 we want to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the only longest political party in the world to rule a nation. Now don’t you dare spoil that okay.
So listen when Big Brother BN speaks and learn to shut up. Otherwise we have no other choice but to let the PDRM do their job. In fact it is a hard time already for us trying to keep the leash on them so far.
