Following the dissolution of Parliament, Bersih Shanghai announces today that we now successfully raised a further RMB17,000 in order to subsidise 100 Malaysians registered voters from China to Go Back To Vote!

Bersih Shanghai launches the "Go Back To Vote Campaign" on 8 March, offering RMB500 air fare subsidy for Malaysians registered voters residing in China.

The campaign was kicked off with an initial donated fund of RMB15,000 sufficiently for 30 persons and later topped up to RMB33,000 following an overwhelming response of 66 applicants in just a few days.

Bersih Shanghai emphasizes that the subsidy is for those in genuine need to fly back to vote for GE13. Those who are actually well-off financially should not apply, allowing us to give the financial assistance only to those in genuine need.

Bersih Shanghai launches the campaign to create awareness among the overseas Malaysians on the importance of General Election where it is one of the most decisive institutions deciding whether a Nation is growing prosperous or fail, it will decide the fate of our country and affecting all level of people.

As such, we urge overseas Malaysians voters all over the World, not only those residing in China, must Go Back To Vote this time.

COMMENTS ON EC

Bersih Shanghai is disappointed that SPR couldn't adopt the same standard vote counting procedures at the overseas polling stations to ensure casted votes are genuinely counted in overseas, in order to avoid the risk of being replaced during the transportation to Putrajaya and the respective constituencies.

According to the Federal Constitution, Article 114 (2), "In appointing members of the Election Commission the Yang di- Pertuan Agong shall have regard to the importance of securing an Election Commission which enjoys public confidence", the poor response of only about 5000 applicants for the overseas postal vote among the 1 million Malaysian citizens living and working overseas, proving that the current EC has lost the public confident – at least among the overseas Malaysians on their capability

in organizing a proper overseas voting.

百名在中国居留的马来西亚注册选民回国投票

上海净选盟于3 月8 号推展"回国投票"运动，提供人民币500 元机票补贴予在中国居留的马来西亚注册选民。该运动初步筹得人民币15,000 的赞助而得以开展，补贴30 位马来西亚选民的机票；随着数天内反应热烈而收到66 位选民的申请而增加赞助金额到人民币33,000。

随着国会解散，上海净选盟今天宣布，我们已经成功筹获另外RMB17,000 的赞助以补贴共100 名在中国居留的马来西亚注册选民回国投票！

上海净选盟强调该项补贴是提供给确实需要的选民以飞回国参与第13 届大选，财务宽裕人士不应该申请，以便我们能够把该财务援助只提供给真正需要的人士。

上海净选盟推展该活动旨在唤醒海外马来西亚人对大选重要性的认识，我们相信大选是其中一个最为决定性的因素和体制已决定一个国家是否繁荣成长还是衰败，它会决定我们国家的命运并影响到各个阶层的人

民。

有鉴于此，我们呼吁全世界所有的海外马来西亚选民，不仅仅是在中国居留的选民，本次大选必须回国投

票。

对选委会的批评

上海净选盟对于选委会无法在海外投票站实行同样的标准计票程序感到失望；该程序是为了确保投选的选票在海外投票站就必须被真实的计算，以避免选票在运送回马来西亚选委会和各别选区的过程中曝露在被调换的风险中。

根据联邦宪法第114 条第2 节，"最高元首在委任选举委员会委员时，必须考虑到选委会能够获得公众信任的重要性"；而目前选委会仅仅收到1 百万马来西亚海外选民中的约5 千份申请，证明了公众（至少是海外选民）对现有的选委会是否能够良好执行海外选举的能力已经失去了信心。

Nazri still toying with lives of Sabahans -- STAR

Posted: 03 Apr 2013 12:03 PM PDT

"What laws is he talking about? If there are laws to be looked into, then look into them!" Jambun demanded. "As far as we know the Federal Government, through the National Registration Department, has the complete prerogative to re-issue MyKads anytime, even to change the designs, anytime it wants.

Daniel J Jambun

It appears that Kuala Lumpur still hasn't learned anything from the Lahad Datu intrusion and bloodshed, and persists on toying with the lives of Sabahans, said State Reform Party (STAR).

STAR's deputy chairman, Daniel John Jambun, in a statement here, took to task Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Dato' Seri Nazri Aziz for saying it will be difficult for the Federal Government to re-issue new MyKads for Sabah.

Jambun accused Nazri of lying when he made the excuse such a simple task is difficult supposedly "because there are laws to be looked into."

"There is no need to pass such an undertaking through parliament, or to have it gazetted. What Nazri is doing is lying and avoiding the proposal, still believing that Sabahans are stupid and can be lied to anytime he wants," he added.

Jambun, who is also the President of the Borneo Plight Malaysia Foundation (BOMIFO), challenged Nazri to explain what laws were used in the illegal issuance of hundreds of thousands of MyKads to refugees and illegal immigrants. He reminded Nazri that it was he who arrogantly said the illegals were not a security problem in Sabah.

"The fact is there was no law used except the law of the jungle and shameless law of robbers, thieves and traitors. The Federal Government ignored the Federal Constitution and many other laws to commit the treasonous acts of issuing the blue ICs and MyKads to illegals," he said. "If they could do that for foreigners, why can't they do the same -- legally -- for the people ofSabah?

"Why is it so easy to do the wrong thing and yet they refuse to do the right thing? Is it because the Federal Government wants to perpetuate the dominance of illegals in Sabah for political purpose at the expense of bona fide Sabahans?

"The treasonous act had now been blown into the face of the Federal Government with the death of almost 100 people and souring diplomatic relations with the Philippines. This is a clear case of what is called a 'blowback' or a backlash of an act committed in 'good' intention in the past. And yet Nazri still has the audacity to say it is difficult to solve the MyKads problem when the solution is right in his very hands.

"I agree with Tan Sri Bernard Dompok that Nazri was wrong and this time will be proven wrong again. As for the leaders of Upko, PBRS and PBS who are supposed to be the representatives of the KDMs in BN, to fight for the KDM rights, they should now seriously consider leaving the BN, because it is very obvious the BN government is not giving face at all to their proposal. It is proven again that they are toothless in BN.

"Now that parliament has been dissolved it is the opportune time for them to sit down with localSabah parties to help fight for justice under the Borneo Agenda. With the three parties in UBF, the defeat of the BN in Sabah will be a forgone conclusion.

"Thereafter we can proceed to set up our own Homeland Security System and use our kingmaker position to force the Federal Government to do what they are supposed to do to develop and protect Sabah and Sabahans."

SAPP, Sabah MyKad most practical

Posted: 03 Apr 2013 11:52 AM PDT

"Issuing Sabah MyKads to Sabahans is the most practical way to distinguish between the genuine Malaysians of Sabah origin and the new Malaysian Sabahans who probably obtained their MyKads by dubious means", said Amde Sidik, the Deputy President of Sabah Progressive Party-SAPP.

The administration for this purpose could be undertaken by the government agency or may be under the jurisdiction of Registrar of Native Courts, he said.

The President of UPKO Tan Sri Bernard Dompok said (Daily Express 02/04/2013) reissuing of MyKad for Sabahans is not impossible even though Minister in the Prime Minister Mohd Nazi Abdul Aziz said it would be difficult for Federal Government to issue new MyKad for Sabah.

"I can see that suggestion by Tan Sri Bernard Dompok is a bit cumbersome, administratively it involves recalling and reissuing which is Putrajaya in full control. I would think Sabah people are more knowledgeable in as far as understanding the people in this part of the country even if it's PR as the Federal Government", he said.

MyKad Sabah is one of the five main topics in SAPP manifestos.

Sabah had done it before with no complications with the laws of the country.

The usefulness of a Sabah Mykad among others are when we are dealing with matters that affect the basic rights of being Sabahans, again our reference is what has been agreed in the Malaysia agreement of 1963. For examples, land matters, scholarship awards, licenses, permits, welfares benefits and other forms of awards to bone fide Sabahans.

Look at the distribution of BRIM500 or a few others where many locals didn't even get those benefits, whilst the new Malaysians including Pakistanis and Indonesians-Malaysians have little difficulty in getting government's facilities, according to Amde.

Hindraf dares Kit Siang to an open debate

Posted: 02 Apr 2013 03:56 PM PDT

N Ganesan, via e-mail

After studying the contents of the DAP Gelang Patah Plan for the Indians, it is very obvious that most of the plan is plagiarised from Hindraf's five-year Blueprint. After having been through the effort to draw up the blueprint ourselves, we cannot understand how a serious document in this category can be developed otherwise within 24 hours.

Since a large part of the Gelang Patah document really comes from the Hindraf Blueprint, we cannot understand why in the first place DAP does not want to endorse the Hindraf Blueprint itself or negotiate on it till it becomes acceptable and then to endorse it.

In our opinion if DAP is sincere there was abundant opportunity to have worked with us on this matter since November of last year. But they let all of that slip and just before the General Elections and in a matter of hours they turn up with this plan.

In our opinion all of this reeks of political opportunism and another impending grand deception for the Indian poor. We cannot stand by and watch another attempt to cheat the poor people and to run off with their votes and then return peanuts to them.

The sincerity of DAP in coming up with this document in this manner right on the eve of the GE and announced in a constituency that Lim Kit Siang is rumoured to contest, is really questionable. There are over 12,000 Indian voters (12%) in Gelang Patah .

DAP Chairman Karpal Singh had just on the the 30th of March called on Waytha Moorthy to end his Hunger Viratham and resume discussion with Anwar Ibrahim. He also urged Anwar Ibrahim to find an amicable solution to end the Hindraf blueprint stalemate.

The next day Lim Kit Siang announces the Gelang Patah Plan. We find all this baffling. We are left wondering if there is any seriousness at all in this entire episode. So, instead of us just calling the effort insincere, we will let the people decide, if the effort is sincere or otherwise.

We call upon Lim Kit Siang personally for such a a debate in front of an open audience to clear the air on this. We will debate the proposition that the "DAP Gelang Patah Plan for the Indians is not a sincere plan to address the problems of the Indian poor in comprehensive and permanent ways."

We hope Lim Kit Siang will accept this challenge and show the country that Hindraf is wrong , that DAP is indeed sincere in trying to improve the lot of the Indian Poor. If however, Lim Kit Siang does not accept this challenge , then we have to conclude that DAP is doing what they are doing only because it is good politics – nothing more, nothing less.

Please let us know through an open acceptance or you can contact me, N Ganesan at 012 -480-3284 and let us know of your acceptance and we will arrange the necessary details for the event.

What do DAP and race car drivers have in common?

Posted: 02 Apr 2013 03:38 PM PDT

Wong Saikim

What do political leaders and racing car drivers have in common? They are both in a race of sorts. The politicians want to win at the polls, and the racing drivers want to win at the Grand Prix.

But the DAP and ace driver Lewis Hamilton had one more thing in common-- they each suffered crushing embarrassing moments this week.

Hamilton's embarrassment happened at the race track in Sepang last week. The Formula One racer made a blunder when he pulled in at the McLaren pit stop instead of the Mercedes box. For one brief moment, he had forgotten that McLaren was his previous sponsor and Mercedes was his current. Describing this gaffe, a foreign correspondent said that Hamilton was usually drawn to controversy like a moth to a lampshade.

His old McLaren mechanics were briefly stunned but his fans couldn't hide a big smile at the blooper. To them, it was no big deal. They were just amused.

DAP's embarrassment happened a few days ago. DAP admitted to a faux pas of gigantic proportions. The Penang DAP government admitted that there has been a mistake in the entire costs for the mega project involving the undersea tunnel and the three highways. The earlier costs were under reported by RM2.22 billion. Not by RM2.22, not by RM2.22 hundred, not by RM2.22 thousand, not by RM2.22 million, but by a staggering RM2.22 billion!

The error was dismissed as a 'typo'. But unlike the case of Lewis Hamilton, the rakyat are not so forgiving. They are not amused. How can anyone, leave alone a government, make such a boo-boo? What rocket fuel was used to propel the costs sky-high?

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng cannot dismiss this mother of all blunders as a mere 'typo'. A 'typo' is a typographical error which only happened in the days when manual typewriters were in use. Typewriters have long given way to computers which always flag mistakes as they occur, and prompt corrections.

The rakyat demands a detailed explanation. After all, it is they who are finally going to foot the bill, one way or another.

Whatever happened to Competency, Accountability and Transparency? Why is DAP silent? Has the CAT got its tongue?

This was not DAP's first blooper. The party could not even get it right in its elections to its party central executive committee last December. A 'technical error' in calculation resulted in an inaccurate result. Candidate number 65, Zairil Abdullah who had the same number of votes received by candidate number 35 Manogaran Marimuthu (305 votes) actually received 803 votes, the party only claimed two weeks after the election.

These are serious mistakes. If a student makes mistakes like these in school, he will be punished by his examiners; if an adult makes mistakes like these at work, he will be punished by his employer; and when politicians make mistakes like these they should be punished by the voters.

"Many Chinese being self-serving in a practical way and given to diplomacy are willing to sell their businesses to the Malays -- just as they sold their farms in Cameron Highlands to Indians -- but the latter (Malays) are not willing to work hard even temporarily. This is because being inbred, they lack energy and intelligence. So, Malays specialize in squatting on the others Umno-style." -- Joe Fernandez

Dear All,

It's no use advocating the removal of Article 153 of the Federal Constitution and the abolishment of NEP. This RPK is wasting his time. He knows PKR will not abolish the NEP whatever. They will also not accept Hindraf's Blueprint. Neither will Umno.

I told Waytha this even when he was in London but he wouldn't listen. I pointed out to him that the Chinese were not making the same demands as him because they know better not to waste time with the Malay morons. I advised him to work with the Chinese in politics but he wouldn't listen. He wants to talk to the uncivilized Malay buggers like Anwar although he knows that this man is a sneaky, slimy bugger.

Let the Malays themselves realize on their own and get their politics right. If the non-Malays tell these morons anything, they would do just the opposite even though it's going to kill them.

The more things appear to change to Malaysia, the more they will remain the same.

What we need is a Revolution led by the Malays when they get some intelligence and energy. That would take another 50 years. Revolutions always take about 50 years to make. In the meantime, there will be a lot of chaos.

Dear RPK

The following should be abolished too.

1. Race based political party

2. 7% discount for bumis

3. Race information on civil documents

4. Syariah Court which rules on non muslims for civil matters

5. All venacular schools

6. AP should be open for all races

7. Petrol station owwership should be open for all races

8. Killing of prisoners in police station

9. Quotas at public learning institutions

10. PROTON manufacturing cars

11. Excise Duty for all cars...(except for proton and Perodua)

10 : Article 88 of FAM constitution --- Let Datuk Rajagopal..speak up

and the list can go on and on .....its funny how the muslims who rule this country can afford to close their eyes to the social injustices thats been been carried out on the non malays in the name of NEP ...

and they foam in their mouth , keris risen demanding total control for the usage of the word ALLAH ......hypocrites ..really ..

********************************************

Guys accept this and give it a rest.

DAP, PKR and PAS will not abolish the NEP. But then the poor will be a priority.

All you DAP supporters just accept that. I have listen to their ceramahs so many times already. But I dunno why their supporters are still so very arrogant. LGE has given a lot to the Islamic cause in Penang, but still some DAP supporters still bullshiiting about Islam...and Malays. I really dunno what to say.

NEP helps, I have seen it. I know how grateful the poor malays were when they got their scholarships. And I see how smart these students are, and denying these opportunity is a shame. Everybody knows that the bumis / malays are among the poorest in Malaysia. I see how the quota system in housing really helps balance things up in a residential area. And business? Go to Sg wang, Pavillion or KLCC, and see which race owns the business there more. And if they are any malays that own a shop there, it was because of NEP. And they the majority race is a minority in the business world. Nuff said lah, and if that Inderjit or whoever is going to bullshit about malays are this and that and deserve to be poor...well as RPK said. All Bullshit!

fendyoasis1, April 02, 2013 15:27:03

********************************************

NEP need to be abolished simply because NEP is just a racist program serving a racist agenda of a racist party. Survival of NEP means survival of racism in Malaysia, Malaysian had a half a century experience in this experiment, let the result speaks for itself, it failed miserably simply there is no check-and-balance mechanism or if there were , it was dismantled , totally unconcern about cost and effect. Benefiting only a handful top-of -the-food -chain party elites while the nation slide its way into the gutter.

What would happen, if say NEP help only the Malaysian Indians or only Kadazans or only Ibans? Unacceptable because it's an unfair racist program, what the nation needs is a program that help all poor or the unable regardless to race, color, religion, creed or gender (foreigners who happen to be in Malaysia that need help, deserve to be helped).

Maybe Malaysian are all a bunch of born racists that deserve to be screwed by a bunch of crooks using racism as the tool, which I think not, but after 50 years of racist indoctrination by racist UMNO/BN, the simply notion of fair play is good ethic was beyond the grasp of many.

Does giving RM300,000 discount to a person who wish to purchase a RM3 millions house constitute "help"? Maybe NEP should incorporate the word CAHRITY to make sense, otherwise it will continue to be a racist's right.

JJFoo, April 02, 2013 14:06:56

********************************************

anakipoh,

I agree. I think that RPK cannot see beyond his nose.

Umno has foisted the Dependency Syndrome on the Orang Asal and Malays to remain in power. Jeffrey Kitingan did a study on this at Harvard and even wrote a book on this. For his troubles, he was detained under the ISA. Mahathir told him: "Jeffrey, don't make the people smart. Don't tell them what they don't know." (In short, keep the people stupid so it's easier to control them.) Jeffrey told the media in Sabah several times.

Many Chinese being self-serving in a practical way and given to diplomacy are willing to sell their businesses to the Malays -- just as they sold their farms in Cameron Highlands to Indians -- but the latter (Malays) are not willing to work hard even temporarily. This is because being inbred, they lack energy and intelligence. So, Malays specialize in squatting on the others Umno-style.

The Chinese in fact, are only willing to do business and work hard or study but only temporarily. They are lazy buggers. They only believe in making their money work for them. It's a matter of pride for a Chinaman to tell other Chinese: "I no need to work. I have so much money that my next ten generations don't have to work." In that sense, they are exactly like the upper caste leeches, parasites and bloodsuckers in India who never worked a day in their life.

Fernz, April 02, 2013 13:52:04

********************************************

That the chinese is angry with NEP because it sidelines them is not the problem. The problem is, NEP cripples the Malays. They cannot stand on their own and MUST depend on the government to support them. The chinese, with or without government support, does not really need NEP. In fact the chinese take advantage of the alibaba system that is unwanted result of the NEP. So why did the chinese want to abolish the NEP? So that Malays can learn to stand on their own! Now why is the chinese so concerned about the well being of Malays you ask? The chinese would sooner let the malays die than to help them, you retort. Wrong. The chinese know that if the Malays are falling behind, the country will not progress, no matter how industrious the chinese are, because Malays are the majority in this country. Unless the majority of this country are competent, Malaysia will lose out due to global competition. You are no longer competing with among your countrymen, you're competing with Europeans, Arabs, Chinese, Indians and Africans. Even closer to home in SEA, we're competing with the Thais, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Burmese etc all who are very competitive and hungry for jobs. Malays must stop the mentality that they cannot make it unless by government help. A nation that is incompetent is a failed nation.

anakipoh, April 02, 2013 12:53:46

********************************************

Dear RPK,

NEP is a social engineering program. Being a social program, it is designed to meet to social needs and therefore the program is subject to review and change when the social needs changed. It must be changed especially it's continuation becomes detrimental to the society, for example, drive away the much needed human and financial capital or foreign direct investments to neighboring countries. But change requires political will.

Why both sides of the political divide do not really want confront the objectives of NEP? I think because we have been drugged - under a single-party dominant system, to believe that politic is a zero sum game - one race's gain is another race's loss. Politic is still very much race-based in respond to the single-party dominant system. We are myopic to the fact that we are losing out comparatively to the neighboring countries.

When our society change, say moving from single-party dominant system to two-parties system, better still, with the emergent of third force, then NEP will be changed or replaced. I hope the day we can all sit down to review NEP with our open hearts/minds will not be too far away.
