Anwar menuduh pemerintah telah mencurangi hasil penghitungan suara.

Pemimpin kelompok oposisi Pakatan Rakyat Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, mengatakan Malaysia masih harus belajar kepada Indonesia soal demokrasi dan pemilu.

Berbicara pada VIVAnews pekan lalu, Anwar mengatakan bahwa institusi demokrasi di Indonesia lebih maju sehingga bisa menyelenggarakan pemilu yang bebas dan tanpa ada campur tangan pemerintah.

Dia mengatakan, calon presiden di Indonesia yang diusung dari berbagai partai politik dapat berdebat dalam forum terbuka. “Sementara di Malaysia, saya dan PM Najib saat ingin berdebat langsung tidak diterima,” ujarnya.

Tetapi Anwar tidak yakin para pemangku kepentingan Malaysia saat ini ingin benar-benar belajar mengenai demokrasi dari Indonesia. Dia berpendapat pimpinan Organisasi Nasional Malaysia Bersatu (UMNO) terlalu arogan untuk mengakui Indonesia lebih unggul dalam hal perkembangan demokrasi.

“Bagi mereka Indonesia itu cuma soal TKI saja. Mereka seharusnya memiliki sikap yang lebih realistis menerima kenyataan bahwa Indonesia dari sudut pandang memantapkan demokrasi dan pengurusan pemilu yang jujur dan adil harus dipelajari pengalamannya,” kata Anwar.

Anwar juga mengecam pemilu tersebut yang menurut mereka telah dicurangi. Anwar mengatakan, dalam penghitungan komisi pemilihan umum Malaysia, seharusnya pihaknya yang menang.

According to a statement today, PKR vice-presidents Nurul Izzah Anwar and Chua Jui Meng will hand over the memorandum tomorrow morning.

The Straits Times had reported on May 15 that Singapore would revoke passes issued to Malaysians involved in the ‘illegal rally’ held on May 8 and 11 at Merlion Park.

Two of those involved have already had their visitor pass cancelled, while working visas for 18 more Malaysians will be reviewed on completion of investigations.

Quoting a police statement, the Singapore daily also reported that, following the arrest of the 21 individuals, the police had also issued warnings to their respective employers.

The eight men and 13 women aged between 21 to 40 have been released on bail. The nature of their jobs is not known.

Protest in London

In London, a group of Malaysian expats held a similar protest on May 19, based on video footage that has surfaced on YouTube.

This shows a group of about 200 chanting slogans such as “BN stole the elections, the people shall descend upon the streets”, “Jom Ubah”, and “Reject corruption”.

The group reportedly started their protest at Whitehall where many important UK government buildings are located – including the cabinet office – before marching on to continue their protest at Trafalgar Square.

Utusan Malaysia quoted a blog dubbed ‘Blog MIK’ as saying that the group had marched from the Malaysian High Commission in London, before moving toward the Houses of Parliament near Whitehall and then on to Trafalgar Square.

Claiming that it was an illegal rally and a disgrace to Malaysia, Utusan quoted the blogger as saying: ‘What is the appropriate punishment for them? Revoke their citizenship and don’t let them come back.’

‘May the High Commission of Malaysia identify the individuals involved and check. Perhaps they already have permanent resident status there, and thus their citizenship would be dropped immediately.’

Barisan Nasional’s (BN) rule will continue as long as Malaysia uses the first-past-the-post voting system despite redelineation, academic Amer Saifude told a forum here last night.

The Universiti Malaya Centre for Democracy and Elections (Umcedel) deputy director said the expected redelineation of constituencies by year-end would benefit Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s coalition and even better its Election 2013 performance.

“As long as we practice this first-past-the-post system, it will be advantageous to BN,” Amer told a forum on the 13th general election outcome.

Despite winning only 47 per cent of the popular vote in the May 5 elections, Najib saw his coalition keeping the government with a simple majority, bagging 133 federal seats against Pakatan Rakyat’s (PR) 89.

Amer pointed out that Najib was the first BN chief to score a weaker mandate in his maiden bid for power, a reflection of the faulty fundamentals of the first-past-the-post system.

The Umcedel deputy director said the system’s glaring defect could be seen in how BN, bar a few exceptions, had never won the popular vote by more than 60 per cent but yet managed to win a huge number of the seats it contested in.

He also highlighted how several constituencies nationwide had been gerrymandered without reasonable justifications.

“Sometimes you see the re-demarcation is illogical and unfair… the redelineation process is often made to serve the interest of certain parties,” he said.

Amer, however, noted that any move to redraw the constituencies must first have the consent of at least half of the members of the Dewan Rakyat.

PR federal lawmakers have signalled their intention to make full use of their increased parliamentary numbers to ensure constituencies are fairly redrawn when the Election Commission (EC) kicks off the redelineation exercise this year-end.

PKR’s Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli has said that if the exercise involves an increase in seat numbers, a two-thirds majority vote is needed to approve the changes before they are passed by the lower House.

The allegedly unfair dispersal of voters in constituencies has been used as a major argument point by PR lawmakers to back accusations that gerrymandering in favour of BN has helped the ruling pact stay in power.

In a recent article for news portal FZ.com, Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) chief executive Wan Saiful Wan Jan had pointed out that the existing delineation of constituencies defies logic in terms of size and the number of voters.

The issue has also earned the attention of the foreign media, with the Wall Street Journal, in a comment written by its Hong Kong-based journalist Philip Bowring, pointed to how PR had lost the election despite winning 51 per cent of the popular vote ? an outcome that opposition lawmakers and civil society groups have blamed on gerrymandering.

Speaking to The Malaysian Insider, the DAP’s publicity secretary Tony Pua said with the polls now over and efforts under way to challenge some of the results through election petitions, the next step for PR would be to focus on the coming redelineation exercise as well as campaigning for a proportional representation system.

Pakatan Rakyat (PR) memenangi 59 kerusi campuran di Parlimen pada pilihan raya umum ke-13 (PRU13) iaitu hampir dua kali ganda daripada 30 kemenangan di kerusi majoriti Cina, menurut kajian terbaru yang sekaligus menolak dakwaan “Tsunami Cina” oleh Barisan Nasional (BN) sebagai punca kekalahan.

Badan pengkaji atas talian bebas tersebut berkata parti pemerintah BN memenangi banyak undi di kawasan luar bandar manakala PR meningkatkan sokongan di kawasan bandar dan separa bandar di negara yang sedang mengejar status negara maju 2020.

“BN mewakili majoriti luar bandar dan dapat mengekalkan kuasa dengan luar bandar dan kerusi separa bandar sahaja. Pilihan raya kali ini menunjukkan PR lemah di luar bandar yang terdiri daripada kerusi majoriti Bumiputera Sabah dan Sarawak,” kata laporan itu, yang boleh didapati dalam blog rasmi PoliTweet.

Menurut PoliTweet, 108 daripada 133 kerusi (81 peratus) dimenangi BN adalah di kerusi luar bandar, manakala PR memenangi kerusi bandar atau separa bandar hampir dengan peratusan sama (72 daripada 89 kerusi).

PR memenangi semua 16 kerusi bandar majoriti Cina, 12 kerusi bandar Melayu dan 12 kerusi bandar campuran, memberikan mereka 40 daripada jumlah keseluruhan 43 kerusi bandar (93 peratus). Sebagai perbandingan, BN hanya memenangi 4 kerusi bandar Melayu dan 1 kerusi bandar campuran.

Daripada 54 kerusi separa bandar, PR memenangi 34 daripadanya (63 peratus). BN menang baki daripada kerusi separa bandar dengan kawasan separa bandar Melayu adalah sebahagian besarnya 12 kerusi tersebut.]

PoliTweet juga menunjukkan PR memenangi lebih banyak kerusi bandar dan separa bandar majoriti Melayu berbanding BN, ia menunjukkan kerusi majoriti Melayu bukan lagi jaminan kemenangan untuk BN.

Dalam kajiannya, PoliTweet mengkategorikan kerusi kepada tiga kategori yang tidak mengikut klasifikasi oleh Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR), tetapi lebih berdasarkan imej satelit peta Google dan peta SPR.

PoliTweet menggariskan kawasan “pendalaman” terdiri daripada kampung, bandar kecil atau tanah ladang dan kelihatan lebih besar secaara fizikal dengan populasi yang kecil. Kawasan “bandar” pula terdiri daripada bandar yang diliputi dengan betuk pembangunan bandar. Kawasan “separa bandar” adalah gabungan kedua-duanya sekali.

Dibawha tiga kategori itu, PoliTweet membahagikan 125 kerusi sebagai luar bandar, 54 separa bandar dan 43 adalah bandar.

Kawasan bandar terdiri sedikit melebihi daripada setengah kerusi majoriti Cina, tetapi kerusi majoriti Melayu masih lagi didominasi di luar bandar. Walaubagaimanapun terdapat lebih banyak kerusi separa bandar yang majoritinya adalah Melayu berbanding majoriti Cina dan kawasan campuran dicampur-aduk sekali.

Firma kajian itu juga menekankan kebarangkalian rendah BN untuk memenangi semula kerusi bandar, memandangkan BN hanya memperoleh 47 peratus undi popular di kerusi separa bandar dan 36 peratus di kerusi bandar, berbanding 57 peratus yang diperolehnya di kerusi luar bandar.

Dalam Banci Penduduk dan Perumahan Malaysia terkini pada tahun 2010 menunjukkan populasi di bandar Malaysia berlaku peningkatan mendadak sejak tahun 1960-an, dengan 71 peratus daripada rakyat Malaysia tinggal di kawasan bandar. Bank Dunia bagaimanapun meletakkan jumlah sedikit lebih tinggi sedikit pada 72 peratus.

Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya kedua-duanya telah mencapai 100 peratus status kemajuan, manakala Selangor dan Pulau Pinang – kedua-dua kini diperintah oleh PR – merupakan yang tertinggi selepas kedua-dua bandar utama itu adalah dengan lebih 90 peratus status kemajuan.

Kebetulan, Selangor adalah negeri yang paling ramai penduduk dengan 5.46 juta orang, dan seiring dengan Putrajaya, mempunyai kadar pertumbuhan tertinggi di Malaysia disebabkan oleh penghijrahan dan peluang pekerjaan.

Dalam forum yang dianjurkan oleh Pusat Demokrasi dan Pilihan Raya Universiti Malaya (UMCEDEL) minggu lepas, pemerhati bebas pilihan raya Merdeka Centre mendapati pengundi jelas berpecah antara kelas-kelas yang berbeza, dengan kelas bekerja dan berpendapatan rendah kebanyakannya mengundi BN, dan kelas pertengahan dan atasan memilih PR.

Pengarah Merdeka Centre Ibrahim Suffian menekankan perbezaan antara kaum mencadangkan pengundi tidak berpecah mengikut kaum tetapi lebih kepada ideologi yang berbeza yang dikemukakan oleh kedua-dua BN dan PR.

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 22.5 2013.

Cuepacs president Datuk Omar Osman should behave like a Ceupacs President for all and not participate in Utusan Malaysia or UMNO’s racist acts. Clearly Datuk Omar forgets that there are Malay civil servants who are not racists and that there are non-Malays serving civil servants too.

Datuk Omar had joined Utusan Malaysia in calling for a similar boycott of Air Asia and Air Asia X, stating that the power of 1.4 million civil servants can give an impact on AirAsia, especially in the school holidays. Ceupacs is gravely mistaken to join Utusan Malaysia’s boycott of Air Asia and Air Asia X, as Ceupacs should not be a racist organisation but serve all Malaysian civil servants regardless of race and religion.

Datuk Omar’s boast of using Ceupacs power is an empty boast because he could not deliver the votes of 1.4 million civil servants to BN in the recent general elections causing BN to be a minority party in gaining only 47% of the popular vote and losing to PR’s 51%. Utusan had targeted both companies after AirAsia X chief executive officer had condemned Utusan Malaysia for its racially provocative headline targeting the Chinese following the May 5 polls that BN lost.

Irresponsible actions by these racist organistions have made Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s call for national reconciliation or 1Malaysia another empty promise. Such racist acts by Utusan Malaysia follows a campaign by BN supporters to boycott consumer products by Chinese businesses to punish the Chinese community for supporting PR.

Such a racist campaign to blame the Chinese as scapegoats is to hide the fact that BN lost Malay support causing PR to win the popular vote at 51%. In Peninsular Malaysia, where there are more Malay voters, PR’s popular vote is higher at 53%.

The Penang state government urges the new Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Hasan Malek not to defend such product boycotts based on race but instead act against these racist organisations. The Malay and Chinese Chambers of Commerce had said the federal government needs to step in immediately to arrest the campaign they separately described as “unhealthy, childish and racist” from gaining ground as it will affect economic growth.

These racist organisations have done enough damage not only to national unity and Malaysia’s image. By allowing such racist boycott of products to continue, Malaysia will be seen as no different from other racist regimes like South Africa apartheid regime but may also negatively impact our economy.

LIM GUAN ENG

—–BM Version ——
Kenyataan Media Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town pada 22 Mei 2013.

Cuepacs Salah Kerana Menyertai Utusan Malaysia Memboikot Air Asia Dan Air Asia X Kerana Cuepacs Tidak Sepatutnya Menjadi Sebuah Pertubuhan Perkauman Tetapi Berkhidmat Kepada Semua Penjawat Awam Di Malaysia Tanpa Peduli Kaum Dan Agama.

Presiden Cuepacs Datuk Omar Osman sepatutnya berkelakuan sebagai seorang Presiden Cuepacs untuk semua dan tidak mengambil bahagian dalam tindakan perkauman Utusan Malaysia atau UMNO. Jelas sekali bahawa Datuk Omar telah terlupa bahawa ada penjawat awam Melayu yang tidak rasis dan ada juga warga bukan Melayu di dalam perkhidmatan awam.

Datuk Omar telah menyertai Utusan Malaysia dalam menyeru supaya Air Asia dan Air Asia X diboikot, dengan menyatakan bahawa kuasa 1.4 juta penjawat awam boleh memberi kesan terhadap Air Asia, terutamanya di musim cuti sekolah. Cuepacs sangat-sangat salah apabila ia menyertai usaha boikot Utusan Malaysia terhadap Air Asia dan Air Asia X kerana Cuepacs tidak sepatutnya menjadi pertubuhan yang bersifat perkauman tetapi berkhidmat kepada semua penjawat awam di Malaysia tanpa mengira kaum dan agama.

Kenyataan bongkak Datuk Omar untuk menggunakan kuasa Cuepacs hanyalah lagak yang kosong kerana beliau tidak pun mampu memastikan undi 1.4 juta penjawat awam kepada BN dalam pilihan raya umum yang lalu, menyebabkan BN menjadi parti minoriti yang meraih hanya 47% undi popular, tewas kepada 51% undi popular Pakatan Rakyat. Utusan telah menjadikan kedua-dua syarikat tersebut sasaran, selepas Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Air Asia X mengutuk Utusan Malaysia kerana tajuk berita yang menimbulkan provokasi perkauman yang menyasarkan masyarakat Cina berikutan kekalahan BN dalam PRU ke 13 5 Mei lalu.

Tindakan tidak bertanggungjawab oleh pertubuhan perkauman ini telah menjadikan seruan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak ke arah rekonsiliasi nasional dan 1Malaysia sekadar satu janji kosong. Tindakan perkauman oleh Utusan Malaysia mengikut jejak kempen penyokong BN untuk memboikot produk pengguna perniagaan masyarakat Cina bagi menghukum komuniti tersebut kerana menyokong Pakatan Rakyat.

Kempen perkauman sedemikian untuk menyalahkan masyarakat Cina dan menjadikan mereka kambing hitam bertujuan menyembunyikan hakikat bahawa BN kehilangan sokongan orang Melayu yang menyebabkan Pakatan Rakyat menang undi popular sebanyak 51%. Di Semenanjung Malaysia, di mana terdapat lebih ramai pengundi Melayu, undi popular Pakatan Rakyat lebih tinggi, sebanyak 53%.

Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang mendesak Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna yang baru Datuk Hasan Malek untuk tidak mempertahankan kempen boikot berasaskan kaum dan bertindak terhadap organisasi perkauman ini. Dewan Perniagaan Melayu dan Cina telah menyatakan bahawa Kerajaan Persekutuan perlu masuk campur dengan segera untuk memberhentikan kempen yang disifatkan keduanya sebagai ‘tidak sihat, kebudak-budakan dan perkauman’ sebelum ia memberikan impak buruk kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Pertubuhan perkauman ini telah cukup membuat kerosakan bukan sahaja kepada perpaduan nasional tetapi juga imej negara. Dengan membenarkan boikot produk berasaskan perkauman ini berterusan, Malaysia akan dilihat sebagai tidak jauh beza berbanding rejim perkauman seperti rejim apartheid Afrika Selatan, malah turut membawa kesan negatif kepada ekonomi.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2013年5月22日在乔治市光大发表的文告

全国公共及民事职工总会（Cuepacs）竟然错误的随着《前锋报》起舞，一起杯葛亚航及亚航X。职总不应该是一个种族主义的组织，反而应该要不分种族不分宗教地为全马公务员服务。

职总会长拿督奥马奥斯曼理应表现得像一位全民的职总会长，而不应该参与《前锋报》或巫统的种族主义运动当中。很明显的拿督奥马是忘了有非常多的马来裔公务员并不是种族主义份子，同时他也忘了我国也有很多非马来裔的公务员。

拿督奥马联合《前锋报》作出一样的呼吁杯葛亚航及亚航X,并声称在学校假期在即，140万名公务员的力量可以冲击亚航。职总竟然错误的随着《前锋报》起舞，一起杯葛亚航及亚航X。职总不应该是一个种族主义的组织，反而应该要不分种族不分宗教地为全马公务员服务。

拿督奥马夸海口想要利用职总的力量，只不过是空口说白话，因为他都无法促使140万名公务员选票在最近的大选投给国阵，让国阵成为47%总票数的少数政党联盟，总得票率不如民联的51%。自亚航X总裁谴责《前锋报》封面针对5月5日大选国阵的失败向华裔作出种族挑衅之后，《前锋报》有目的的攻击亚航及亚航X。

这些种族主义组织的不负责任行为，让首相纳吉所倡导的大马全民和解成了空头承诺。《前锋报》如此种族性的行为，让国阵支持者也紧随着杯葛华商消费产品，以惩罚华裔社群支持民联。

这些种族主义运动把华裔当成代罪羔羊，主要是掩饰国阵失去马来选民的支持，让民联获得51%的总得票率，甚至在拥有更多马来选民的马来半岛，民联获得更高的53%总得票率。

槟州政府呼吁新任国内贸易与消费事务部长拿督哈山马烈不要维护这些以种族为出发点的杯葛行动，而且必须对付这些种族主义组织。马来及中华商会已经呼吁联邦政府必须马上介入以逮捕这些运动，并形容为是“不良、幼稚及种族主义”的运动，将影响经济发展。

这些种族主义组织不只破坏国家团结也破坏国家形象，若让这些种族主义的杯葛行动持续下去，我国将无异于当年南非所执行的种族隔离暴政，同时也将负面的冲击我国经济。

The Malaysian Insider

Salah satu hakikat yang terserlah dalam PRU ke-13 lalu ialah Umno-BN (UBN) semakin jelas telah menjadi “Parti Kampong”. Penulisan ringkas ini bercadang untuk menguatkan hujjah kepada tesis dan penemuan ini.

Penulisan saya dengan tajuk “Najib semakin seksa selepas menang” ingin dipanjangkan di sini. Sesungguhnya tajuk ini boleh sahaja dijadikan antara buku yang boleh diterbitkan pasca PRU ke-13 ini oleh penulis-penulis tempatan.

Setelak debu peperangan mendap dan euporia “kemenangan” mula pudar, Najib terpaksa berdepan dengan beberapa hakikat yang sangat menggugah dan menyeksa jiwanya.

Persetankan apa jua cemohan rakyat tentang “tusnami Cina” ciptaan Najib sekaligus menampakkan dendam kesumatnya terhadap etnik ini serentak menajamkan lagi garis perkauman. Persetankan gagasan “Blackout 505” yang cuba diketengahkan bagi membangkitkan kesedaran rakyat tentang pilihanraya sarat penipuan.

Persetankan “Tribunal Rakyat” cadangan BERSIH dan masyarakat sivil. Persetankan panggilan “Kerajaan Minoriti” walaupun jelas dengan ukuran “undi popular” di semenanjung dan seluruh negara.

Namun seperkara yang tidak boleh dipersetankan Najib dan pimpinan UBN ialah hakikat bahawa parti dan barisan yang dipimpinnya sedang mengalami hari-hari kepupusannya (demise) dalam persaingan sengit “Politik Baru”. Najib UBN bukan sahaja masih hidup dalam penafian bahkan cuba menongkah arus menentang kemaraan “Politik Baru” ini.

Justeru fakta-fakta keputusan PRUke-13 mula menyelak dan memaparkan hakikat sebenarnya bahawa Najib dan UBN telah menang kerana diselamatkan oleh undi-undi Borneo yang tidak sempat di”jangkiti” “tsunami semenanjung”.

Itu pun tak boleh selesa sangat sebab Sarawak catat peningkatan undi buat pembangkang sebanyak 8.9 peratus, kedua tertinggi selepas negeri Johor. UBN juga mengalami kemorosotan undi di 18 kerusi parlimen dari 31 kerusi parlimen di negeri itu. Dalam 8 kerusi etnik Dayak, BN mengalami 10  peratus kemorosotan undi dan Pakatan hampir merampas 2 kerusi Dayak yakni P205 Saratok and P220 Baram.

Pun begitu halnya di Sabah. BN mengalami kemorosotan undi di 19 dari 26 kerusi parlimen Sabah. Dalam 7 kerusi majoriti bumiputera yang dimenangi BN, kesemua mengalami kemorosotan undi sebanyak 10 peratus. Sangat menyeksa.

Kembali kepada tesis bahawa Umno-BN telah menjadi “parti kampong” atau parti yang hanya kuat di kampong-kampong tradisi Melayu, fakta-fakta berikut adalah sangat memalukan dan mengaibkan Najib.

Pakatan terus mengungguli dominasinya di Wilayah Persekutuan dengan memenangi 9 daripada 13 kerusi yang dipertandingkan. Pertandingan di Lambah Pantai menyerlahkan segala-gala naratif dan pengkisahan tentang percubaan UBN untuk menawan Kuala Lumpur! Kesemua ibu negeri kecuali Kangar dan Johor Bahru, terus dikuasai Pakatan Rakyat. Ini termasuk Alor Star, Kota Bharu,  Kuala Terengganu, Tanjong, Ipoh, Kuantan, Shah Alam, Seremban, Kota Melaka, Kota Kinabalu dan Kuching.

Bagi kerusi Parlimen Selangor, Pakatan Rakyat Berjaya mengekalkan dominasi kawasan Bandar dan pinggir Bandar seperti Petaling Jaya, Ampang, Serdang, Puchong, Kelana Jaya, Gombak, Subang, Shah Alam, Kapar, Klang dan Kota Raja.

BN, sejajar dengan tesis yang dimajukan, hanya mampu menaguasai “anjung utara” yang merupakan “Malay Belt” – Sabak Bernam, Sungai Besar, Tanjung Karang, Hulu Selangor dan kali ini berjaya merampas kembali kerusi Kuala Selangor yang telah berubah demografi pengundi menjadi 65 peratus-35 peratus (Melayu-65 peratus, 23 peratus-India, 12 peratus-Cina) berbanding 60-40 pada 2008 dengan N12 Jeram mencapai 80 peratus20 peratus: Melayu-Bukan Melayu.

Di Negeri Sembilan juga turut menyerlahkan fenomena ini, di mana UB unggul di kawasan luar Bandar seperti Jelebu, Jempol, Kuala Pilah, Rembau dan Tampin sementara Pakatan kekal di kawasan Seremban dan Rasah.

Penulis cenderung untuk meringkaskan dan memudahkan fenomena PRU ke-13 ini sebagai menyerlahkan trend atau pola rakyat-pengundi yang terbelah kepada dua kelompok besar:

i.  pengundi kawasan luar bandar yang tidak dapat capaian internet dan masih tegar dengan keperluan “pembangunan” dan

ii. Pengundi bandar dan pinggir bandar yang sangat terdedah kepada media baru-alternatif berbanding sogokan media UBN dan cenderung untuk menyokong agenda “penambahbaik demokrasi dan kesejahteraan rakyat”.

Menyonsong masa depan dalam laluan pembangunan politik negara, ternyata bahawa Pakatan Rakyat lebih bersedia untuk mengisi harapan pengundi dalam kelompok kedua yakni pengundi yang mahukan penambahbaikan Negara dalam apa yang disebutkan kini sebagai penghayatan dan dinamika “Politik Baru”.

Amat nyata pula, penulis mendapati bahawa UBN amat meminati kelompok pertama golongan luar Bandar dan juga begitu sebaliknya mereka “diminati” golongan luar Bandar ini yang telah di”bela” dengan “sogokan pembangunan” yang sebenar-benarnya “tidak membangunkan minda dan jiwa mereka” bahkan tidak juga bangunkan pendapatan sebenar (real wage) mereka.

Generasi muda yang telah meninggalkan kampong sebenarnya telah meninggalkan legasi Politik Lama yang sarat dengan Politik Menakut-nakutkan Rakyat dan Politik “Patronage” yakni ketua-ketua yang mesti “disantuni” untuk mendapat tandatangan anak-anak kampong untuk mendapat biasiswa kerajaan UBN dsbnya.

Tegasnya Umno-BN akan cuba kekal dominasi luar bandanya sekaligus menjadi “parti kampong” untuk kekal berkuasa sementara Pakatan mesti menorobos kampong dan luarbandar untuk berjaya menawan Putrajaya dalamPRU ke-14.

Peralihan demografi kearah dominasi generasi muda dalam tahun-tahun mendatang akan memberi kelebihan kepada Pakatan Rakyat sementara mendayakan “Politik Baru” dan “Politik Pencerahan” adalah formula kemenangan yang tepat dan wajar.

UBN tampaknya mungkin sahaja mahu kekal “parti kampong” yang meneruskan amalan dan legasi Politik Lama yang sarat dengan amalan politik perkauman, politik agama yang sempit dan konfrantasi, politik “Paronage-Perlindungan”penguasa politik dan orang-orang besar yang berpengaruh bermula dari JKKP sehingga keperingkat tertinggi parti. Malang!

The Malaysian Insider

Thousands attended the “Black 505” rally here last night, where Kedah PAS chief Datuk Mahfuz Omar warned Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders against sparking conflict as the majority was with Pakatan Rakyat (PR).

Estimating that a crowd of 50,000 had gathered outside the state PAS headquarters, Mahfuz criticised newly-minted Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Kedah Chief Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir for warning against the rally.

“I would advise Zahid to accept that the majority of the people are with the Pakatan Rakyat and don’t start a war with the people. Be rational,” the PAS vice-president and Pokok Sena MP was quoted as saying in media reports.

“As for Mukhriz, I would ask him to open up a bit as he is still a young man. He should not behave like the Umno leaders of the past who adopted a confrontational approach with the people,” Mahfuz added.

The state PAS commissioner also reminded Mukhriz’s BN government that the previous PAS administration had allowed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak the use of the state stadium for a rally last January.

Mukhriz, the youngest son of Malaysia’s longest-serving prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, had refused PAS permission to hold the “Black 505” rally in the stadium last night.

The mainly Malay crowd turned up from 6.30pm for the PR rally against alleged electoral fraud and irregularities, initiated by opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“This is an extraordinary crowd and it proves people like (MCA president) Chua Soi Lek wrong. Soi Lek says only the Chinese attend the ‘Black 505’ rallies but what we saw tonight were the Malays in full force,” Sungei Petani MP Johari Abdul told reporters after the rally.

He was among the speakers that included Anwar, PAS deputy president Mohamed Sabu, PAS vice president Datuk Salahuddin Ayub, PKR vice presidents Chua Tian Chang and N. Surendran

Umno-owned newspaper Utusan Malaysia had reported that crowds attending the six earlier “Black 505” rallies were mainly Chinese youths, taking the cue from BN leaders who complained a “Chinese tsunami” cost them votes in Election 2013.

Previous “Black 505” rallies were held in Selangor, Penang, Perak Johor, Negri Sembilan and Pahang, where thousands defied police warnings to pack stadiums and public spaces.

Taking to the stage last night, Anwar accused BN of vote-rigging and cheating as the crowd roared with cheers. He also gave fresh examples of the Election Commission’s (EC) alleged connivance in “making fools of the voters”.

The PKR de facto leader also told EC staff to “stand up” and speak out against the alleged polls fraud in the elections where BN won 133 federal seats against PR’s 89 seats. PR is disputing the results of 29 seats.

In Election 2008, BN won 140 federal seats to lose its two-thirds super-majority while PR took 82 seats.

The Malaysian Insider

Pakatan Rakyat (PR) federal lawmakers have vowed to make full use of their increased parliamentary numbers to ensure constituencies are fairly redrawn when the Election Commission (EC) kicks off the redelineation exercise this year-end.

PKR’s Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli reminded that if the exercise involves an increase in seat numbers, a two-thirds majority vote is needed to approve the changes before they are passed by the lower House.

The ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) does not have required two-thirds majority in Parliament, with only 133 seats to PR’s 89 seats, and will require votes from opposition lawmakers to approve the exercise.

“But if they (EC) do not add constituencies and the process only includes redrawing boundaries, this could be dangerous as this allows gerrymandering and there is no need for a two-third vote.

“In the past, they (BN) score big in the elections because the redelineation exercise is often in [their] favour … they disperse our support to other seats,” Rafizi told The Malaysian Insider.

But the PKR strategy director said it was likely that, this time, redelineation would include an increase in seat numbers.

He said that in tandem with the DAP’s “one vote, one value” campaign push, PR lawmakers will fight hard to use their parliamentary powers to ensure voters are more fairly distributed unlike the present situation.

The allegedly unfair dispersal of voters in constituencies here has been used as a major argument point by PR lawmakers to back accusations that gerrymandering in favour of BN has helped the ruling pact stay in power.

In a recent article on news portal FZ.com, Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) chief executive Wan Saiful Wan Jan had pointed out that the existing delineation of constituencies defies logic in terms of size and the number of voters.

“Putrajaya has 15,791 voters compared with Kapar, which has 144,159 voters. It doesn’t make sense.”

“And then you have a state seat like Sri Serdang with 72,769 voters which is higher than the Putrajaya parliamentary seat,” he was quoted saying.

This has also earned the attention of the foreign media.

In the Wall Street Journal yesterday, Hong Kong journalist Philip Bowring commented on how PR had lost the election despite winning 51 per cent of the popular vote ? an outcome that opposition lawmakers and civil society groups have blamed on unfair gerrymandering.

“Thanks to an extreme anti-urban bias and the abolition of rules governing the relative size of constituencies, the largest constituency has nine times more voters than the smallest.

“On that basis, and taking account of the number of closely fought seats, the opposition would probably have to win at least 58 per cent of the popular vote to get a majority of seats,” Bowring wrote.

Speaking to The Malaysian Insider, DAP’s publicity secretary Tony Pua said with the polls now over and efforts underway to challenge some of the results through election petitions, the next step for PR would be to focus on the coming redelineation exercise.

The EC recently said that the exercise will be kicked off by year-end after the six-month process to hear election petitions are completed. The petitions must be filed within 21 days after the results of the election are gazetted.

The Federal Constitution prohibits a redelineation exercise from being conducted within eight years of the last. The EC last redrew constituency lines in 2003.

“The focus will be on one man, one vote, one value, apart from pushing other related reforms. What we want is a more level playing field in the next general election.

“And this means that we should not be seeing a coalition winning the popular vote but losing the parliamentary seat count by a mile,” Pua said.

“Given that BN does not have two-thirds majority in Parliament, the exercise must be agreeable to both sides,” he added.

DAP’s Rasah MP Anthony Loke agreed with his party colleague, saying it was important that PR makes full use of its influence in Parliament and put up a fight if they are disagreeable to the EC’s redelineation proposal.

“We have more than one-third of our MPs in Parliament. We are a strong enough force to ensure that redelineation is done properly and professionally.

“The weightage of votes cannot be as ridiculous as it is today,” he said.

PAS’s Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad said there must be a more “reasonable” spread of voters across the constituencies to ensure that every vote has the same value across all constituencies.

“In some cases, you have a parliamentary seat with less than 10,000 voters… and elsewhere, you have seats with over 100,000 voters.

“We will be trying to push for fairer representation across the board,” he said.

BN snapped up 133 federal seats to PR’s 89 seats in the May 5 polls but for the first time ince 1969, the ruling pact lost the popular vote, scoring just under 48 per cent of the votes cast to PR’s 51 per cent.

PR leaders immediately cried foul with its de facto chief Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim insisting that his federal opposition pact had won the election.

Police Must Act Against Thugs Who Tried To Disrupt The Right Of Malaysians To Hold A Candlelight Vigil Demanding The Release Of Student Adam Adli Abdul Hamid.

Police must act against thugs who tried to disrupt the right of Malaysians to hold a candlelight vigil demanding the release of student Adam Adli Abdul Hamid. A group of pro-BN supporters physically manhandled the candlelight vigil, attended by some 30 people in front of Universiti Sains Malaysia that included two journalists Malaysiakini Low Chia Ming and Nanyang Siang Pau Brian Lai.

The Penang state government condemns the BN supporters for such violent behaviour. Police reports were lodged by the journalists. It is sad that police Special Branch officers were present but they did not take any action against the thugs. I will write to the Chief Police Officer Dato Abdul Rahim bin Haji Hanafi to press for action against these thugs.

Amoral To Allow Rapists Of Underaged Girls To Escape UnPunished Because No One Should Be Off From Rape Charges Merely Because They Married The Rape Victim.

The Penang state government is shocked that the BN Federal government AND Attorney-General appears to condone rapists marrying their underage victim to escape criminal prosecution for statutory rape.

The Sabah statutory rape case yesterday where charges against the rapist may be withdrawn because he married the 13 year old victim, is unacceptable because a crime is a crime and must be punished severely.

Allowing a rapist to get off scot free from raping a victim and getting off scot-free by marrying her is not only morally outrageous but completely amoral. What safeguards and protections are there left for minors and young underaged girls then from rapists?

The reason that there is a criminal provision for statutory rape is to protect young girls below 16 who had consented to sex without knowing the consequences of their actions. If men can escape statutory rape by marrying the young girls, will this escape clause be extended to all rape victims by encouraging rapists to marry their victims?

It is morally repugnant to allow the rape victim to marry the rapist so that the rapist can avoid paying the penalty for his heinous crime. This is punishing the victim not the rapist. Both rapist and rape victim may marry in future as is within their right but no one can use that as an escape clause.

As parents of daughters, we are concerned that young underaged girls and minors are being taken advantage of. What is the use of having rule of law, if laws can not protect them? I hope that the relevant authorities will be shamed into pressing for action against all cases of statutory rape- which is a crime regardless whether the rapist married the victim or not.

Kenyataan Media oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town pada 21 Mei 2013.

Pihak Polis mesti bertindak ke atas samseng yang cuba mengganggu hak rakyat Malaysia untuk mengadakan perhimpunan nyalaan lilin menuntut pembebasan aktivis mahasiswa Adam Adli Abdul Hamid.

Pihak Polis mesti bertindak ke atas samseng yang cuba mengganggu hak rakyat Malaysia untuk mengadakan perhimpunan nyalaan lilin menuntut pembebasan aktivis mahassiswa Adam Adli Abdul Hamid. Sekumpulan penyokong pro Barisan Nasional telah mengasari peserta perhimpunan yang dihadiri lebih kurang 30 orang di hadapan Universiti Sains Malaysia termasuk dua wartawan Malaysiakini Low Chia Ming dan wartawan Nanyang Siang Pau Bryan Lai.

Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang mengutuk tindakan ganas penyokong-penyokong BN tersebut. Laporan polis telah pun dibuat oleh kedua wartawan terbabit. Amat menyedihkan apabila polis Cawangan Khas yang hadir tidak pun mengambil tindakan terhadap samseng-samseng tersebut. Saya akan menulis surat kepada Ketua Polis Negeri Pulau Pinang, Dato Abdul Rahim Haji Hanafi untuk mendesak supaya tindakan diambil terhadap samseng-samseng ini.

Membenarkan perogol gadis bawah umur bebas tanpa dihukum adalah amat keji. Tiada sesiapa patut terlepas daripada tuduhan merogol hanya kerana mereka mengahwini mangsa.

Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang amat terkejut apabila Kerajaan Persekutuan BN dan Peguam Negara kelihatan merelakan perogol mengahwini mangsa rogol bawah umur bagi mengelak dakwaan jenayah kerana merogol gadis bawah umur.

Kes rogol bawah umur di Sabah semalam di mana pertuduhan terhadap si perogol boleh digugurkan kerana dia mengahwini mangsa berusia 13 tahun itu sangat tidak boleh diterima kerana jenayah tetap jenayah dan mesti dihukum dengan berat.

Membenarkan seorang perogol untuk bebas daripada pertuduhan merogol hanya kerana mengahwini mangsanya bukan sahaja amat keji malah sangat-sangat tidak bermoral. Apa lagi perlindungan yang ada untuk anak bawah umur dan gadis muda daripada perogol?

Tujuan diwujudkan peruntukan undang-undang jenayah untuk kes rogol bawah umur ialah untuk melindungi gadis bawah usia 16 tahun yang telah rela melakukan hubungan seksual tanpa menyedari akibat daripada tindakan mereka. Jika para lelaki boleh bebas daripada tuduhan rogol bawah umur dengan mengahwini anak gadis muda, mungkinkah klausa pengecualian ini dipanjangkan kepada semua kes mangsa rogol dengan menggalakkan perogol mengahwini mangsanya?

Adalah amat meloyakan untuk membenarkan mangsa rogol mengahwini si perogol supaya perogol boleh mengelak daripada menjalani hukuman di atas jenayahnya yang cela. Ini sudah menghukum mangsa dan bukan pelaku. Kedua-dua perogol dan mangsa rogol mungkin boleh berkahwin di masa akan datang kerana itu hak mereka, tetapi tidak boleh dibenarkan sesiapa pun menggunakan alasan itu untuk meboloskan diri daripada dihukum.

Sebagai ibu bapa kepada anak-anak perempuan, kita sentiasa runsing dan takut anak-anak bawah umur kita diambil kesempatan. Apalah gunanya mempunyai kedaulatan undang-undang sekiranya undang-undang tidak boleh melindungi mereka? Saya harap semua pihak berkuasa berkaitan akan berasa malu sehingga mesti mengambil tindakan terhadap semua kes rogol bawah umur – yang merupakan jenayah tidak kira sama ada perogol mengahwini mangsanya atau tidak.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2013年5月21日在乔治市光大发表声明：

警方必须采取行动对付那些涉嫌滋扰大马人权，在声援释放学运领袖阿当阿迪和平烛光会上闹事的暴徒。

警方必须采取行动对付那些涉嫌滋扰大马人权，在声援释放学运领袖阿当阿迪和平烛光会上闹事的暴徒。一群亲国阵支持者到理科大学外暴力干扰30人出席的烛光会，《当今大马》记者刘嘉铭和《南洋商报》记者黎添华也被袭击。

槟州政府谴责这批国阵支持者的暴力行为，记者们已向警方报案，可悲的是，在场的政治部警员并没采取任何行动对付暴徒。我将致函槟州总警长拿督阿都拉欣，要求警方采取行动。

允许性侵未成年少女的强奸犯脱罪毫无道德，没有任何强奸犯可以被允许迎娶受害人来脱罪。

槟州政府感到震惊，国阵联邦政府和总检察长似乎纵容强奸未成年少女的犯人，让犯人迎娶受害人来逃脱强奸罪的控状。

昨天的沙巴州法定强奸案，因施暴者愿意与13岁的受害者结婚，控状或许被撤销一事，是不能被接受的，因为犯罪就是犯罪，必需严惩。

允许一名强奸犯在强奸受害人之后逍遥法外，允许强奸犯娶受害者而不受处分，不只是道义上离谱，更完全颠倒道德的是非。这么一来，我们还能用什么来保障和保护未成年人及未成年少女，免于受强奸犯的侵害？

法定强奸案刑事条文的设立，是为了保护那些不知自己性行为所带来的后果的16岁以下的少女。如果男人可以借娶被他强奸的年轻受害人为妻而逃脱法定强奸罪名，那这项例外，会否在往后延伸至鼓励所有的强奸犯，借迎娶受害人过门而逃脱罪名？

允许强奸犯娶受害者，以逃脱他犯下滔天罪行所应受到的惩罚，是道德败坏的。此举是在惩罚受害者而不是施暴者。施暴者及强奸案受害者可以在往后结婚，因为这是他们的权力，但是没有人可以把这当成一个逃脱罪名的条款。

作为一个女儿的父母，我们关心未成年少女及未成年者被人占便宜。如果法律不能保护他们，我们要法治来做什么？我希望有关当局能因蒙羞而施压，采取行动对付所有的法定强奸案件，不管施暴者是否有与受者者结婚，罪案就是罪案。

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng And MP For Bagan In Kuala Lumpur On 21.5 2013

Is Ahmad Zahid Hamidi Willing To Engage In A Public Debate With Either Me, Lim Kit Siang Or PR Leader Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim Whether His Extremist And Divisive Remarks Is Democratic And Part Of National Reconciliation After The General Elections?

Will Home Minister Dato Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi prove his courage and willingness to face DAP leader and MP for Geylang Patah Lim Kit Siang’s censure motion by giving a full day parliamentary debate? Lim Kit Siang had announced that he would move a censure motion against Ahmad unless the Home Minister apologises for asking Malaysians not wanting to accept Malaysia’s existing general election system and preferred another system to migrate to another country.

It is meaningless for Ahmad to state that he is willing to face DAP or PR in Parliament if insufficient parliamentary time is given. Ahmad is only arrogant or brave in front of BN media and TV cameras when threatening hapless Malaysiakini journalists. Is he willing to engage in a public debate with either me, Lim Kit Siang or PR leader Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim whether his extremist and divisive remarks is democratic and part of national reconciliation after the general elections.

Malaysians recorded a historic voter turnout of 80% in the 13th General Elections to defy and defeat money politics, fear and lies. Despite PR increasing our popular vote by nearly 4% in winning the popular vote of 51% compared to only 47% for BN, BN won government. The victory margin was even larger in Peninsular Malaysia of 53% for PR against 45% for BN. PR won 55% of the popular vote in Perak yet lost power.

Malaysia has a minority BN government in Putrajaya, a minority BN Prime Minister and minority BN Perak Menteri Besar. The people have a right to ask what type of democracy is there in Malaysia that permits a minority to rule over a majority. Instead of responding to public calls for polls reforms to respect the “one-person, one-vote, one-value” principle, Ahmad Zahid is taking an autocratic and hard-line approach to crack down on dissent.

Instead of getting the police to focus back on their core business of fighting criminals, Ahmad prefers the police to arrest PR leaders who have not stolen or harmed the rakyat. Crime has escalated to a serious crisis until even the homes of sisters of Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyidin Yasin in Petaling Jaya and IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar in Mantin, Negeri Sembilan, are victims of crimes experiencing break-ins over the weekend. The time has come for the police to fight crime and not fight BN’s battles against PR.

Utusan Malaysia The Enemy Of Press Freedom And Fundamental Human Rights Of Freedom Of Expression.

BN has still not learnt the lessons of their defeat in the 13th General Elections and has refused to listen to the people preferring to rely on fear, hatred and lies to oppress, repress and suppress the rakyat’s aspirations for freedom, hope and equal opportunity. Using race and religion no longer works as every Malaysian know that this is to cover up massive corruption by BN.

DAP is shocked at the thuggish behavior of Utusan Malaysia journalists at the one-man protest by former Utusan Malaysia senior reporter Hata Wahari yesterday in front of his former employer’s headquarters. Where is press freedom and freedom of expression when Utusan Malaysia journalists can physically harass Hata Wahari not just with boos and racist abuse but also hurled two packets of fried bihun at him ?

Utusan Malaysia should adopt the right of any citizen to disagree and allow Hata to continue with his peaceful protests stated in a large banner with the words, ‘Message to Utusan chief editor: Stop irresponsible reporting. Uphold journalistic ethics. Don’t spoil Utusan’s future for self-interest. Don’t be a racist reporter’.Utusan Malaysia no longer believes in press freedom except the freedom to lie against PR. I have brought many legal defamation suits against Utusan and have won every case against them.

From a paper that once fought for freedom, Utusan Malaysia has now shamefully degenerated into becoming an enemy of press freedom, racial harmony, truth and fundamental human rights of freedom of expression. How can a journalist physically harass another journalist? Only in North Korea can Utusan Malaysia be welcomed in suppressing, oppressing and repressing press freedom.

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 21 Mei 2013.

Adakah Zahid Hamidi Berani Untuk Berdebat Secara Terbuka Sama Ada Dengan Saya, Lim Kit Siang Atau Pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim Untuk Menentukan Sama Ada Kenyataan Ekstrimis Dan Memecahbelah Beliau Adalah Demokratik Dan Sebahagian Daripada Rekonsiliasi Nasional Selepas Pilihan Raya Umum?

Adakah Menteri Dalam Negeri, Dato Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi membuktikan keberanian beliau untuk menyahut cabaran usul celaan pemimpin DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Gelang Patah Lim Kit Siang dengan mengadakan perdebatan parlimen sehari penuh? Lim Kit Siang telah mengumumkan bahawa beliau akan mengemukakan usul celaan terhadap Ahmad Zahid kecuali sekiranya Menteri Dalam Negeri itu meminta maaf kerana meminta rakyat Malaysia yang tidak mahu menerima sistem pilihan raya sedia ada di Malaysia dan mahukan sistem yang lain untuk berhijrah ke negara lain itu.

Tidak ada makna bagi Ahmad Zahid menyatakan bahawa beliau berani berdepan dengan DAP dan Pakatan Rakyat di Parlimen sekiranya masa yang diberi tidak mencukupi. Ahmad Zahid hanyalah bongkak dan berani di depan media BN dan kemera TV apabila mengugut wartawan Malaysiakini. Adakah beliau berani untuk berdebat secara terbuka dengan saya atau Lim Kit Siang atau pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim bagi menunjukkan sama ada kenyataannya yang ekstremis dan memecahbelah itu bersifat demokratik dan sebahagian daripada rekonsiliasi nasional selepas pilihan raya umum.
Rakyat Malaysia mencatatkan jumlah keluar mengundi bersejarah sebanyak 80% dalam PRU ke 13 demi melawan dan mengalahkan politik wang, ketakutan dan pembohongan. Walaupun Pakatan Rakyat berjaya meningkatkan undi popular sebanyak hampir 4% sehingga menang undi popular sebanyak 51% berbanding hanya 47% di pihak BN, BN masih memenangi kerajaan. Margin kemenangan malah lebih besar di Semenanjung Malaysia dengan 53% mengundi Pakatan Rakyat berbanding 45% untuk BN. Pakatan Rakyat menang 55% undi popular di Perak, tetapi tetap tidak memenangi kerajaan.

Malaysia mempunyai kerajaan minoriti BN di Putrajaya, Perdana Menteri minoriti BN dan Menteri Besar minoriti BN di Perak. Rakyat ada hak untuk menyoal demokrasi jenis apa yang ada di Malaysia yang membenarkan kekuasaan minoriti ke atas majoriti. Sebalik memberi jawapan kepada tuntutan umum terhadap reformasi pilihanraya supaya menghormati pinsip ‘satu orang, satu undi, satu nilai’, Ahmad Zahid mengambil pendekatan autokratik dan keras bagi menghukum mereka yang berani bertingkah.

Di sebalik meletakkan fokus pihak polis terhadap kerja asas mereka untuk membasmi jenayah, Ahmad Zahid lebih suka sekiranya pihak polis menangkap pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat yang tidak pernah mencuri ataupun menyakiti rakyat. Jenayah telah meningkat menjadi sebuah krisis yang amat serius hatta rumah saudara mara Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin di Petaling Jaya dan Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar di Mantin, Negeri Sembilan pun telah menjadi mangsa jenayah pecah masuk dalam hujung minggu lalu. Masanya telah tiba untuk pihak polis memerangi jenayah dan bukan mengambil bahagian dalam peperangan BN terhadap Pakatan Rakyat.

Utusan Malaysia Adalah Musuh Kebebasan Akhbar Dan Hak Asasi Manusia Untuk Bebas Bersuara.

BN masih tidak belajar daripada kekalahan mereka dalam PRU ke 13 dan enggan mendengar suara hati nurani rakyat, dan memilih untuk bergantung kepada ketakutan, kebencian dan penipuan untuk terus menindas dan membungkam aspirasi rakyat yang mahukan kebebasan, harapan dan peluang saksama. Menggunakan kaum dan agama sudah tidak lagi berkesan kerana setiap orang Malaysia tahu bahawa itu hanyalah suatu topeng untuk menutup korupsi besar-besaran BN.

DAP sangat terkejut dengan tingkah laku samseng yang diperlihatkan wartawan utusan Malaysia terhadap protes sendirian bekas wartawan senior Utusan Malaysia, Hata Wahari di depan ibu pejabat bekas majikannya semalam. Di mana kebebasan akhbar dan kebebasan bersuara apabila wartawan Utusan Malaysia boleh membuat gangguan fizikal terhadap Hata Wahari, bukan sahaja dengan olokan dan ejekan perkauman malah melontar dua bungkus bihun goreng kepadanya.

Utusan Malaysia patut menerima hak mana-mana individu untuk tidak bersetuju dan membenarkan Hata untuk meneruskan protes aman beliau yang diletakkan dalam ayat-ayat kain rentang beliau, ‘Mesej untuk ketua pengarang Utusan, hentikan kewartawanan tidak bertanggungjawab. Julang etika kewartawanan. Jangan rosakkan masa depan Utusan demi kepentingan sendiri. Jangan jadi wartawan rasis’. Utusan sudah tidak lagi percaya dengan kebebasan akhbar kecuali kebebasan untuk berbohong terhadap Pakatan Rakyat. Saya telah membawa banyak saman fitnah terhadap Utusan dan telah memenangi setiap satu saman tersebut.

Daripada sebuah akhbar yang pernah memperjuangkan kebebasan, Utusan Malaysia telah dengan begitu memalukan mereput menjadi musuh kebebasan akhbar, keharmonian kaum, kebenaran dan hak asasi manusia untuk bebas bersuara. Bagaimana boleh seorang wartawan membuat gangguan fizikal terhadap wartawan lain? Hanya di Korea Utara sahaja Utusan Malaysia mungkin boleh dialu-alukan untuk membungkam, menekan dan menindas kebebasan akhbar.

民主行动党秘书长及峇眼国会议员林冠英于2013年5月21日在吉隆坡发表的文告。

阿末扎希是否愿意与我或林吉祥还是民联领袖拿督斯里安华来一场公开辩论，以证明他那极端又分裂人民的言论是否真的符合选举后所谓的民主与全民和解？

内政部长拿督斯里阿末扎希是否有勇气愿意面对行动党领袖及振林山国会议员林吉祥所要提出的不信任动议，来一场全天的国会辩论？林吉祥已经宣布要提议针对阿末扎希的不信任动议，除非内政部长能对他自己要求大马人如果不接受马来西亚现行的选举制度就移民他国的言论而道歉。

阿末在没有说出具体招开国会的日期下，称愿意在国会面对行动党及民联是毫无意义的。阿末只有在国阵媒体及电视镜头前的时候才尽显霸道及勇态毕露的威胁倒大霉的《当今大马》新闻从业员。阿末扎希是否愿意与我或林吉祥还是民联领袖拿督斯里安华来一场公开辩论，以证明他那极端又分裂人民的言论是否真的符合选举后所谓的民主与全民和解。

大马人创下历史，高达80%的选民在第13届大选挺身而出拒绝及击败金钱政治、恐惧与谎言。民联虽然在本届大选的总得票率增加了4%，并且以51%赢得了选举的总得票率，但是相对只获得47%的国阵却赢得了执政权。在马来半岛的胜利差距更为显著，民联获票高达53%，国阵则只有45%。在霹雳民联赢得了55%的州总得票率，但仍然失去执政该州的权力。

马来西亚在布城拥有一个少数政府、少数首相及少数霹雳国阵州务大臣。人民有权力质问在马来西亚允许少数统治多数，到底是哪门子的民主。阿末扎希不去听从人民意愿进行选举改革，以尊重“一人、一票、一等值”的民主原则，反倒过来以独裁及强硬的态度对付异议。

阿末不去要求警方回归他们的正业，专注打击罪案，反倒过来选择要警方逮捕不偷不抢的民联领袖。治安问题已经成为危机，即使是副首相丹斯里慕尤丁及全国总警长丹斯里卡立双双的胞妹也分别在八打灵再也及森美兰文丁的住家被入贼行窃。如今，警方是时候打击罪案，而不是帮国阵打战以对付民联。

《前锋报》是新闻自由及言论自由基本人权的敌人。

国阵仍然无法从第13届大选的失败中吸取教训，拒绝聆听人民的声音，反倒过来以恐惧、仇恨及谎言来压迫、镇压及压制人民祈求自由、希望及平等机会的愿望。利用种族及宗教对大马人民来说已经没有效，因为大马人已经知道在这些伎俩都是为了掩饰国阵严重的贪污。

民主行动党对于《前锋报》媒体从业员以流氓行为针对其前资深记者哈达达哈里感到震惊。哈达昨天在其前雇主《前锋报》总部前展开个人示威，竟然不只遭到《前锋报》媒体从业员以嘘声及种族主义奚落及污辱，还被他们丢两包炒米粉攻击他，请问《前锋报》的新闻自由及媒体自由在哪里？

《前锋报》理应允许任何公民的反对权力，让哈达继续以他写着“致《前锋报》总编辑：“请停止不负责任的报导，秉持媒体伦理操守，别为了个人利益毁了《前锋报》未来，别成为一个种族主义的记者”的大布条进行和平抗议。《前锋报》根本已经不再笃信新闻自由，他们只会自由妄为地撒谎对付民联，这可从我多次控告《前锋报》诽谤，全部都胜诉获得证明。

从一家捍卫自由的报章，《前锋报》如今羞耻地沦落到成为新闻自由、种族和谐、真相及言论自由基本人权的敌人。一个媒体从业员怎么可以肢体侵犯另一个媒体从业员呢？看来也只有朝鲜才会欢迎《前锋报》这种压制、压迫及镇压新闻自由的做法。
