Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 4.6.2013.

Malaysia should not follow the Singaporean model to regulate online portals because this violates the Malaysia MSC Bill of Guarantees that there will be no internet censorship. DAP regrets that newly-minted Communications and Multimedia Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek is starting off his tenure by breaking BN’s earliest promise of not censoring the internet in wanting to regulate online portals. Where is BN’s “Janji ditepati”?

Ahmad Shabery should be granting freedom to the media and the press instead of trying to further choke off any limited space of press freedom found in the internet. Why should Malaysia follow Singapore in regulating online portals when Singapore performed worse than Malaysia in press freedom?

According to Reporters Without Borders, Malaysia fell 23 places from 2012 to 145th this year in the 2013 Press Freedom Index because “access to information is becoming more and more limited”. Reporters Without Borders said that Malaysia’s “sorry record” was caused by the government’s repeated efforts to censor information.
“Despite an all-out battle by rights activists and online media outlets, a campaign of repression by the government, illustrated by the crackdown on the ‘Bersih 3.0’ protest in April, and repeated censorship efforts, continue to undermine basic freedoms, in particular the right to information,”

Only Singapore performed worse than Malaysia at 149th place. Is Malaysia going to compare itself with the better or the worse-off ones?

As Ahmad Shabery now considers online portals to be mainstream media, he wants to control them like BN controls the mainstream media. This appears to be BN’s main agenda after the online news portal were blamed for causing the BN to lose the popular vote for the first time in history in the 2013 general elections.

BN is blaming everyone except their own selves for this historic defeat, from the Chinese community to the online news portal, when PR won 51% of the popular vote compared to BN’s 47% or 385,899 more votes than BN. Such proposed regulation is not progress but regression.

Ahmad Shabery was not impressive in his previous stints as Information Minister and then Youth and Sports Minister, as he has no outstanding achievements to show off. However his suggestion to regulate the internet shows that he is worse than his predecessor Tan Sri Rais Yatim in failing to take a national or international perspective, and pandering to the UMNO constituency in preparation for the UMNO party elections later this year.

How Can Screening The Racist Hate Film On May 13 Riots “Tanda Putera” Be Compatible With Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s Call For National Reconciliation And The Country to Move Forward With Less Politicking?
Another proof that Ahmad Shabery is worse than Tan Sri Rais Yatim is his decision to release the racist hate film ‘Tanda Putera’ on August 29 in cinemas nationwide. This racist hate film on May 13, 1969 riots panders to extremism and again blame non-Malays for igniting the May 13 riots.

It also contained malicious lies against DAP leaders, especially DAP leader Lim Kit Siang, who was never in Kuala Lumpur throughout the entire period but was in Sabah. For these reasons, Rais refused to allow cinemas to screen this film nation-wide.

For Ahmad Shabery to permit the screening of this hate film ‘Tanda Putera’ because he said that it has a “national theme”, is not only divisive and discriminatory but also promotes lies, hatred and fear. How can screening the racist hate film on May 13 riots “Tanda Putera” be compatible with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s call for national reconciliation and the country to move forward with less politicking?

Ahmad Shabery is gravely mistaken to think that UMNO can win back lost Malay or non-Malay votes by taking a hard-line racist and extremist stand that creates fear and hatred to frighten both Malay and non-Malay voters to return to BN. Such tactics backfired badly in the recent general elections, when more than 42% of Malay voters especially young voters abandoned BN by voting for PR.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年6月4日在吉隆坡发表声明：

马来西亚不应该模仿新加坡管制网络媒体，这种做法有违马来西亚多媒体走廊法案中保障网络无审查的条文。

马来西亚不应该模仿新加坡管制网络媒体，这种做法有违马来西亚多媒体走廊法案中保障网络无审查的条文。对于新上任的通讯及多媒体部长阿末沙比里“新官上任三把火”，违背国阵之前不进行网络审查的诺言，改以建议管制网络，行动党感到遗憾，我们要问国阵，你的“一诺千金”在哪里？

阿末沙比里应该给予媒体及报馆自由，而不是企图钳制网络上仅有的媒体自由。当新加坡的新闻自由方面比马来西亚表现更糟，为什么马来西亚要模仿新加坡管制网络新闻？

根据无疆界记者的报告，马来西亚的新闻自由指数从2012年第23名跌至2013年145名，因为“资讯的获取越来越有限”。无疆界记者报告中所指马来西亚新闻自由的“惨况”是政府一再审查资讯流通所导致的。

“尽管社会运动分子及网络媒体竭尽全力迎接，但是政府的一系列打压行动，正如四月份净选盟大集会3.0、一而再地审查，继续破坏基本自由，特别是获取资讯的自由。”

新加坡的新闻自由排名比马来西亚糟，排在149名，马来西亚是不是只想跟不好的比较，而不是向好的学习？

由于阿末沙比里现在将网络媒体做为主流媒体， 他想到像国阵控制主流媒体那样管制网络媒体。这就是国阵怪罪网络媒体导致国阵在2013年大选中，破天荒第一次失去多数票之后，主要的打压议程。

国阵输了多数票后除了他们自己，怪罪全世界， 从华人到网络媒体。在大选中，民联得票率为51%比国阵高，国阵得票率为47%或385,899张。管制网络的建议不是进步，而是开倒车。

阿末沙比里之前担任资讯部长、青年及体育部长前，表现平平，也没有展现特别的政绩。但是，他建议管制网络，显示了他比丹斯里莱依斯雅丁还糟糕，后者在国内外都没有声望，只是一味地迎合巫统以备战巫统今年底的党选。

解禁有关513种族仇恨电影《王者之风》，如何算是响应拿督斯里纳吉的国民和解及减少政治挑衅让国家前进？

另一项证明阿末沙比里比丹斯里莱依斯雅丁更糟的证据是，他决定在8月29日，于全国戏院解禁有关1969年513种族仇恨的电影《王者之风》，这部电影迎合极端主义、而且责怪非马来人发动513暴动。

这部电影也诬蔑行动党领袖，特别是行动党领袖林吉祥，513期间，他人在沙巴，而不是吉隆坡。因为这些理由，莱依斯不让电影在全国戏院放映。

阿末沙比里却准许这部分仇恨性电影《王者之风》上映，因为他说他有“国家主题”，这不是只分裂性、歧视性，也鼓吹谎言、仇恨及恐惧。一部关于513种族仇恨的《王者之风》，如何算是响应拿督斯里纳吉的国民和解及减少政治挑衅让国家前进？

阿末沙比里大错特错，他竟然认为巫统采取强硬种族及极端立场，制造恐惧及仇恨，吓唬马来人及非马来人，便可以让他们的选票回流。这种伎俩已经在最近的大选中证实无效，超过42%的马来选民特别是年轻马来人已经唾弃国阵，投选民联。

The Malaysian Insider

Sabah PKR MP Darell Leiking today demanded the state spell out how long it is barring entry to opposition leaders, saying the information was crucial to help plan future programmes.

Specifically referring to the deportation of Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar last Thursday, Leiking questioned if Sabah Deputy Speaker Datuk Johnny Mositun had been accurate when he claimed the ban had just been for a day.

“Can I ask Datuk Johnny Mositun on what is that ‘threat to the state security’ that Nurul Izzah poses to Sabah and can he confirm that she is banned only for that day only?

“His verification will be of great help for us to find out and to get bottom of the facts as there are many speculations as to why Nurul was denied entry and deported from Sabah,” the Penampang MP said in a statement here.

Leiking was referring to Mositun’s remarks in the Daily Express today where the latter was quoted saying that Nurul Izzah had been barred from entering Sabah last week for just a day and because she was deemed a threat to state security.

From the statement, Leiking said it was reasonable to assume that Mositun was privy and aware of the actual reason behind Nurul Izzah’s deportation.

The deputy PKR secretary-general, however, also asked for confirmation from Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman on whether the ban had been a pre-planned decision by the state Cabinet.

Earlier today, The Malaysian Insider reported the contents of a leaked letter from Musa’s office to the state’s Immigration Department confirming that apart from Nurul Izzah, her father Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and Rafizi Ramli are also on a blacklist barring them from entering the east Malaysian state.

The May 21 letter, which sports the letterhead from Musa’s office, also says the list was given the Sabah Cabinet’s stamp of approval following its first meeting last month on May 15 – 10 days after the 13th general election.

“The Cabinet has agreed that the chief minister invoke his absolute powers under the Immigration Act, and in accordance with certification from the Sabah Royal Malaysian Police Special Branch chief, not to land these individuals to Sabah,” the letter said, before it listed out the names of the five politicians and Bersih 2.0 co-chairman.

According to Sabah DAP chief Jimmy Wong, a reliable source from the Immigration Department had leaked a copy of the first page of the document to him.

The document was emailed to The Malaysian Insider this morning. From the single page, the duration of the blacklist or its reason, was not stated.

When contacted, Lim described the ban “ridiculous”, pointing out that the government was making a mockery of democracy by not only banning its own citizens from entering a state in the country, but legally elected representatives.

“Of course this is not my first time… I am probably the most banned leader… I’ve been banned from Sabah, from Sarawak… but I thought we have passed those days.

“It looks like we are still in the thick of it,” he complained.

Last Thursday, Nurul Izzah was barred from entering Sabah upon arriving in Kota Kinabalu to celebrate Pesta Kaamatan, or the Harvest Festival, in her personal capacity.

Explaining the ban on Saturday, Musa was reported saying that those who pose a threat to the Sabah ideals of peace harmony will not be welcomed to the state.

He added that state never restricted other opposition leaders before the polls, but believed Nurul Izzah had different intentions this time.

“Now that the elections are over, their leader refuses to accept the verdict. It is a case of sour grapes and ungentlemanly conduct. He wants to rile up the masses to rally throughout the country to show his, and I repeat, his discontent,” he said.

“We have reason to believe that Nurul Izzah’s intentions to come to Sabah, this time around, may not be as innocent as she or her fellow opposition members make it out to be,” he added.

Malaysiakini

Thirty-nine years ago, a little-known incident in Baling caused a seismic shift in Malaysian politics, but very few Malaysians are aware of the incident or realise its significance and the impact it created.

If the full details of this incident had been divulged in 1974, the government might have fallen. The Baling incident caused a nightmare for Abdul Razak Hussein, the prime minister at the time.

Today, the nightmare is recurring for Najib Abdul Razak, the leader of the current minority government. Najib feels he has no alternative but to instigate several crackdowns on the rakyat.

The Baling event referred to is not the historic meeting in 1955 of Tunku Abdul Rahman, who was the head of the Malayan government and Chin Peng, the leader of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM).

Nor was it the Memali Incident of 1985, the shameful massacre of a defenceless community by forces loyal to Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s government.

The Baling Incident (BI) which occurred in 1974 was shrouded in secrecy. It was a series of many small expressions of the bottled-up feelings of anger, betrayal, fear and resentment, of the rural poor.

In present-day Malaysia, the rakyat participated in democracy marches and rallies against oppression, injustice and the dictatorial rule of Najib and the BN government. In 1974, it was Abdul Razak, Najib’s father, who faced similar marches against social injustices.

The root cause of the BI was abject poverty and starvation. The rubber smallholders faced ruin when the global price of rubber plummeted. The farmers could not cope with the rising cost of living and rural families had to forage for food in the jungles.

Bizarrely, in 1974 Abdul Razak (right) announced in Parliament that the civil servants’ allowance would be increased by 50 percent, from RM1,000 to RM1,500.

When news broke of the deaths of a few children from eating ubi gadong, a type of poisonous wild yam, to stave off hunger pangs, the social unrest reached a tipping point. At its peak, around 25,000 of the rural poor took to the streets.

Like father, like son; both Abdul Razak and Najib unleashed the might of the FRU and the police on peaceful protesters. Najib is a politician without imagination, but he knew that brutal action had served his father well.

A dark chapter in our history

In 2013 Najib merely employed his father’s tried and tested methods of retaliation. The consequences of 1974 opened a dark chapter in our history.

Then, like now, information was heavily censored. Abdul Razak did not want the rakyat to know that an uprising had occurred in Kedah.

Five years earlier, the country had been overwhelmed by the May 13 clashes. The Chinese were convenient scapegoats.

Abdul Razak was in a quandary. The district of Baling was mainly populated by Malays. The significance of the BI had to be suppressed.

In the BI there was no Chinese element, or communist subversives at work. BI was social unrest – a revolt by Malay smallholders and farmers. Peaceful hunger marches throughout Baling spread outwards from Baling town, Kulim and Sik.

News travelled fast and despite media censorship in 1974, students at Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and Kolej Mara, as well as the universities’ teaching fraternity expressed their support for the uprising. They organised a series of meetings and urged the government to address the plight of the poor.

Syed Husin Ali (right), then an associate professor at Universiti Malaya, said: “At first they (the students) demonstrated within their campus. The police fired tear gas but some cannisters landed on the nearby squatter settlement, injuring some children.

“The students joined forces and gathered in the centre of KL. When the police acted against them, they took refuge in the National Mosque. Over 1,000 students were arrested and detained for a few days.

“Some squatters joined some students to ‘run riot’ at the highway, putting up blockades and smashing traffic lights.”

Abdul Razak warned of tough reprisals and over 40 students and lecturers were detained under the ISA. Among them was Anwar Ibrahim, who was detained for two years.

Syed Husin said: “I was detained for six years. I was an associate professor and considered recalcitrant for refusing to admit guilt.

“I was accused of being pro-communist and the brain behind the demos. They wanted me to serve as an example to create fear among those academic staff to prevent them from following my path.

“I think these are the reasons why I was incarcerated up to six years.”

The education minister then was Mahathir. He and Ungku Aziz, the vice-chancellor of UM at the time, produced the Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA).

The UUCA has effectively curbed students’ freedom and deprived universities of their autonomy. Students and lecturers are fearful of speaking out on issues which are deemed sensitive to BN. Our universities have never recovered from Mahathir’s despicable legacy.

Abdul Razak, his peers and successors’ children were sent abroad for their education, whilst the rest of the rakyat received a stifling Malaysian schooling.

Baling not an isolated incident

In 2013, history repeated itself and the nightmare which descended on Najib’s father is now his own.

Today, Najib has warned that he would get tough with students Adam Adli Abdul Halim and Safwan Anang as well as other dissenters. The ISA has been repealed, so what has Najib up his sleeve?

Let this column warn both Najib and Mahathir, the joint rulers of Malaysia that their efforts to subjugate the rakyat will not succeed. Baling was not an isolated incident.

Prior to BI, there were unreported acts of unrest against the BN government. In Tasik Utara, Johor Baru, poor urban Malays camped in front the residence of then MB Osman Saat to voice their disgust at being cheated of housing and land.

In 1974 and in 2013, the Malays opposed the government, but Najib has created a red herring and claimed that in GE13, it was a Chinese tsunami.

It is not! It is Malaysians fighting tyranny.

The wounds which Abdul Razak, Mahathir and Najib opened are still festering. Our awareness of their crimes and of their despotic rule are more acute.

Their policies have cast long shadows and there will be more Baling incidents until Najib and the illegitimate BN government step down.

Keadilan Daily

Kebangkitan anak muda pelbagai bangsa di Malaysia menuntut perubahan sosial, ekonomi dan politik adalah yang terbesar pernah berlaku dalam sejarah negara ini, kata Ketua Umum KEADILAN, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Justeru, percubaan media Umno-BN mencetus sentimen perkauman untuk memecah-belahkan rakyat tidak akan berjaya kerana desakan perubahan lebih kuat didorong golongan muda di Malaysia.

“Kemahuan anak muda untuk perubahan sangat tinggi. Lihat di kiri dan kanan kita. Mereka (kerajaan) tidak sedar. Desakan perubahan digerakkan oleh mereka. Majoritinya anak muda.

“Makna kebebasan dan wacana sekarang ini ialah tentang kefahaman antara bangsa-bangsa. Ini pilihan pada masa akan datang,” kata Anwar dalam program wacana bersama Profesor Dr James Piscatori dari Univesiti Durham di kediamannya semalam.

Anwar menceritakan pengalamannya dalam gerakan Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) yang membincangkan isu poltik Islam dan masyarakat Melayu berdepan dengan hujah perkauman dilontarkan Umno-BN ketika itu.

“Semenjak saya dari zaman ABIM, kita berhadapan dengan isu kelangsungan politik Melayu-Islam. Ia sebenarnya satu desakan dan isu ini relevan untuk dibahaskan,” kata Anwar

.

Namun, Anwar menegaskan beliau ketika itu tetap mengambil pendirian untuk menentang pendekatan politik perkauman yang diamalkan Umno-BN.

Malah katanya, kaedah itu diteruskan oleh rejim yang sama hari ini sebelum dan semasa kempen pilihan raya umum ke-13 berlangsung.

Namun, beliau yakin kelompok muda di Malaysia telah memahami sejarah dan menolak agenda sempit yang cuba disebarkan.

“Saya bangga dengan anak muda,” kata Anwar menegaskan setiap anak muda meskipun dari agama yang berlainan tetap mempunyai peranan dalam agenda perubahan.

Anwar merujuk pandangan ahli falsafah Perancis, Alexis de Tocqueville yang menulis di dalam karya ‘Revolt of the Masses’ bahawa kebangkitan itu itu datangnya daripada rakyat, manakala parti politik hanya sebagai ‘kenderaan’ untuk membawa tujuan.

“Meskipun dalam keadaan media Malaysia yang tidak bebas, kita masih boleh mempertahankan keyakinan kita,” katanya.

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 3.6.2013.

Only the establishment of an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) can prevent needless custodial deaths following the 3rd death in the police lock-up in 11 days. Karuna Nithi’s death 2 days ago in Tampin police lock-up brings to three the number of recent mortalities among suspects while under police custody. Before that, was the death of R James Ramesh in a Penang police lockup on May 26 and the brutal killing of N Dhamendran with 52 injuries, while in a KL police headquarters lockup on May 21.

The number of custodial deaths since 2000 is 219, a shocking figure that is sure to rise without any safeguards and preventive mechanism such as the IPCMC. There is no reason why the BN Federal government refuses such oversight of the police when it is recommended in 2005 by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Police.

Whilst some of the custodial deaths may be due to natural causes, the public will continue to have grave suspicions in police interrogation methods unless the police were not only clean, but seen to be clean. Only a transparent and accountable mechanism which is available by establishing the IPCMC, can restore public confidence and reassure the public that detainees in police custody will be safe. Otherwise, the public will have recurring nightmares that should any of their loved ones be placed in police custody, they may walk not necessarily walk out alive.

The public have lost hope in new Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who does not appear interested in fighting crime but is more focused on using harsh and oppressive methods to silence any dissent. even from law-abiding citizens pressing for free, clean and fair elections. Will Datuk Seri Najib, MIC or MCA leaders walk the talk by supporting the establishment of the IPCMC whether in or outside Parliament?

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 3 Jun 2013.

Hanya dengan menubuhkan sebuah Suruhanjaya Aduan Salahlaku Polis (IPCMC) sahaja maka kes kematian dalam tahanan dapat dielakkan.

Hanya dengan menubuhkan sebuah Suruhanjaya Aduan Salahlaku Polis (IPCMC) sahaja maka kematian dalam tahanan dapat dielakkan, berikutan kematian dalam lokap ketiga dalam masa 11 hari. Kematian Karuna Nithi dua hari lalu di lokap polis Tampin menjadi jumlah kematian suspek yang ditahan polis mencecah tiga orang. Sebelum itu, R James Ramesh mati di lokap polis Pulau Pinang pada 26 Mei, manakala N Dhamendran yang dibunuh kejam dengan 52 kecederaan sewaktu ditahan di lokap ibu pejabat polis Kuala Lumpur pada 21 Mei.

Jumlah kematian dalam tahanan sejak tahun 2000 ialah 219, sebuah angka yang mengejutkan yang pastinya akan bertambah tanpa sebarang langkah dan mekanisme untuk menghalang kes sebegini kecuali dengan IPCMC. Tidak ada sebab kenapa Kerajaan Persekutuan BN tidak bersetuju dengan pengawasan pihak polis sedangkan ia telah dicadangkan oleh Suruhanjaya Siasatan Di Raja terhadap pasukan polis pada tahun 2005.

Walaupun beberapa kematian dalam tahanan mungkin disebabkan faktor semulajadi, orang awam akan terus curiga dengan cara soal siasat polis, kecuali jika pihak polis bersih dan dipastikan tidak korup. Hanya sebuah mekanisme yang telus dan akauntabel seperti IPCMC boleh mengembalikan keyakinan orang ramai dan memastikan tahanan polis selamat. Jika tidak, rakyat akan terus mengalami mimpi negeri bahawa jika mana-mana ahli keluarga mereka ditahan polis, orang yang ditahan mungkin mati dalam tahanan.

Orang ramai telah putus harapan dengan Menteri Dalam Negeri yang baru Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang nampaknya tidak berminat memerangi jenayah tetapi lebih menumpukan untuk menggunakan cara yang kasar dan tegas untuk membisukan suara yang tidak bersetuju dengan pihaknya. Walaupun mereka rakyat yang patuh kepada undang-undang yang menuntut pilihanraya yang bebas, adil dan bersih. Adakah Datuk Seri Najib, pemimpin MIC atau MCA akan berani mengotakan janji dengan menyokong penubuhan IPCMC di dalam dan luar Parlimen?

唯有成立独立警察投诉及行为不检委员会（IPCMC） ，才可以阻止不必要的扣留所命案。

唯有成立独立警察投诉及行为不检委员会（IPCMC） ，才可以阻止不必要的扣留所命案，我国在11天内发生了三宗扣留所死亡事件。卡鲁那两天前在森美兰淡宾警区扣留所毙命，成为第三宗死在警察局扣留所的死者。之前，占姆斯于5月26日毙命于槟城警察局，达门德兰在5月21日被发现死在吉隆坡警察总部扣留所内，全身有52处伤痕。

自2000年开始的扣留所命案达219宗，如果没有像独立警察投诉及行为不检委员会这样的防卫及预防机制，这个数据一定还会增加。国阵联邦政府实在没有理由拒绝这个监督警方的组织，这是2005年皇家调查委员会针对警方提出的建议。

虽然一些扣留所命案可能是自然死亡，但是公众会继续怀疑警方的审问手法，除非警方不只是廉洁，也要看起来廉洁。唯有成立独立警察投诉及行为不检委员会这类透明及有公信力的机制，才能恢复公众信心，也可向公众保证扣留所内的被扣留者将会安全。否则，公众会不断地重复恶梦，担心他们亲爱的家人在扣留所内是否安全？能不能活着走出来？

公众已经对新任内政部长拿督斯里阿末查希失去希望，他看来没有兴趣打击罪案，而比较倾向使用严厉及压迫性的方法，压制任何异见，就算是奉公守法的公民要求自由、干净及公平的选举。拿督斯里纳吉、国大党或马华部长能否讲到做到，在国会内外支持独立警察投诉及行为不检委员会的成立？

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 3.6.2013.

UMNO’s refusal to be a single party that is inclusive or multi-racial but instead insist on clinging to a single racist entity spells the death sentence on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s 1Malaysia. For UMNO Information chief and Deputy Minister Ahmad Maslan to say that it is impossible for UMNO to be a single party for all Malaysians proves that UMNO is committed to dividing Malaysians by race to maintain their hold on power.

For the past 50 years BN, UMNO, MCA and MIC have divided Malaysians by race to justify their excesses and abuses of power, especially corruption, crony capitalism and depriving or limiting the fundamental human rights. Despite BN’s loss in the 2013 general elections, when BN lost the popular vote for the first time in Malaysian history with 47% compared to PR’s 53% of the popular vote, UMNO have refused to heed the people’s rejection of racial politics.

PR won the urban Malay vote and the Malay youth vote by a clear majority. Nationally PR won around 43% of the Malay vote. UMNO’s racist message can not overcome the corruption and abuse of power. This means that Malaysians of all races have given a loud and clear message in the last general elections that they want to be “Malaysians first”, where people not cronies must come first, where good principles and policies matters more than hatred and fear.

Instead UMNO continues to cling on to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyidin Yasin’s divisive and destructive “Malay first, Malaysian second” extremist ideology. Being Malaysian first does not mean we lose our Malay, Chinese, Dayak, Kadazan or Indian identity but that we give our paramount loyalty to our country as embodied in our national anthem “Negaraku”.

As UMNO is the dominant party, UMNO’s refusal to open up to all Malaysians means that there will be no single party for BN that is inclusive to all regardless of race. Clearly, Najib’s 1Malaysia slogan is empty of all meaning except as a propaganda exercise for the general elections to be discarded when BN have won the most number of parliamentary seats despite losing the popular vote.

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 3 Jun 2013.

Keengganan UMNO untuk menjadi satu parti tunggal yang inklusif atau berbilang kaum dan sebaliknya berkeras mahu berpegang kepada semangat parti satu kaum adalah suatu hukuman bunuh terhadap konsep 1Malaysian Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Keengganan UMNO untuk menjadi satu parti tunggal yang inklusif atau berbilang kaum dan sebaliknya berkeras mahu berpegang kepada semangat parti satu kaum adalah suatu hukuman bunuh terhadap konsep 1Malaysian Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. Kenyataan Ketua Penerangan UMNO merangkap Timbalan Menteri, Ahmad Maslan bahawa mustahil UMNO menjadi sebuah parti tunggal untuk semua rakyat Malaysia membuktikan bahawa UMNO terus-terusan mahu memecahbelahkan rakyat Malaysia mengikut kaum demi memelihara kekuasaan mereka.

Untuk lebih 50 tahun, BN UMNO, MCA dan MIC telah memecahbelahkan Malaysia menurut kaum demi menghalalkan salah guna kuasa mereka, terutamanya rasuah, kapitalisme kroni dan penafian atau menghalang hak asasi manusia. Walaupun BN kalah dalam pilihanraya umum 2013, apabila BN kalah undi popular untuk pertama kali dalam sejarah negara; dengan hanyan 47% undi berbanding 53% undi popular yang diraih Pakatan Rakyat, UMNO masih lagi enggan menerima penolakan keras masyarakat terhadap politik perkauman.

Pakatan Rakyat memenangi undi orang Melayu bandar dan anak muda Melayu dengan majoriti yang jelas. Di peringkat nasional, Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 43% undi orang Melayu. Mesej perkauman UMNO tidak mampu melampaui rasuah dan salahguna kuasa yang ia lakukan. Ini bermakna rakyat Malaysia daripada semua kaum telah memberikan mesej yang lantang dan jelas dalam PRU ke 13 yang lalu bahawa mereka mahu menjadi ‘Malaysian first’, di mana rakyat mendahului kroni, prinsip dan polisi yang baik dilihat lebih penting daripada kebencian dan ketakutan.

Sebaliknya UMNO terus berpaut kepada ideologi melampau Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyidin Yasin yang memecahbelah dan menghancurkan, “Melayu pertama, Malaysia seterusnya” (Malay first, Malaysian second). Menjadi ‘Malaysian first’ tidak bermakna kita kehilangan identiti Melayu, Cina, Dayak, Kadazan atau India tetapi ia bermakna kita menumpahkan taat setia yang tidak berbelah bagi kepada negara seperti yang termaktub dalam lagu kebangsaan kita, ‘Negaraku’.

Memandangkan UMNO adalah parti paling dominan, keengganan UMNO untuk membuka keahlian kepada semua rakyat Malaysia bermakna tidak akan satu parti pun dari BN yang menjadi inklusif buat semua tanpa mengira kaum. Jelas sekali, slogan 1Malaysia Najib tidak ada makna langsung kecuali satu usaha propaganda untuk pilihanraya yang akan terbuang akhirnya apabila BN memenangi jumlah kerusi Parlimen terbanyak walaupun kalah undi popular.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年6月3日在吉隆坡发表声明：

巫统拒绝成为一个包容性、多元种族政党 ，坚守做为一个单元种族政党，好像为拿督斯里纳吉的一个马来西亚宣判死刑。

巫统拒绝成为一个包容性、多元种族政党 ，坚守做为一个单元种族政党，好像为拿督斯里纳吉的一个马来西亚宣判死刑。巫统宣传局主任兼副部长阿末马兹兰说巫统不可能成为全体马来西亚人的单一政党，说明了巫统志在通过捍卫他们的权力以种族分裂马来西亚人民。

过去50年，国阵、巫统、马华及国大党以种族分裂马来西亚人 ，合理化他们的滥权、贪污、朋党资本主义、剥夺或限制人权。尽管国阵在2013年大选输了，第一次输掉多数票，得票率只获47%的，民联得票率为53%，巫统却拒绝听取人民拒绝种族政治的民意。

民联以明显大多数赢得了城区马来人及年青马来人的选票。民联在全国赢得43%的马来选票。巫统的种族主义言论不能让他们摆脱贪污及滥权的嫌疑。这意味着马来西亚各族人民在上届大选已经大声说明，他们要“大马人优先”，人民利益为先，而不是朋党，良好原则及政策比仇恨及恐惧更重要。

巫统来继续坚持副首相丹斯里慕尤丁的分裂性及毁灭性的极端想法“马来人优先，大马人第二” 。“大马人优先”不代表我们会失去马来人、华人、达雅人、卡达山人或印度人的身份，而是我们视效忠国家为首位，正如我国国歌“Negaraku”所述。

由于巫统还是主导政党，巫统不愿意对全马人民开放党藉，意味着国阵将不会成为包括各族人民的单一政党。很明显地，当国阵在输掉多数票、却获得大多数国会议席，纳吉充作大选宣传机器、空洞的1个马来西亚口号即将被丢弃。

As you all know, I have a little gadget in my car. It’s long. It’s black. It’s thick. Now if you still don’t know what it is, well, some people call it the SHARP Ion Plasmacluster.

I’ve talked about it before. Told you guys how it works and why it is such an awesome gadget. Today, I shall spill the beans on why I love this Ion Plasmacluster so much not because it cleans the air in my car… but something else that happens everyday. Shall we begin? (always wanted to say this phrase.. not sure which movie its from.. hmm)

Yes, the main purpose of the SHARP Ion Plasmacluster is of course to produce clean air in the confined space of a car, eliminated germs, bacterias and dirt that lingers around in the car while I am drive up n down the city. I can’t imagine how would I breath without this thing cos the air seem to be quite yucky.

Now with all the criminal and robbery cases in the country, it is always better to equip ourselves with some sort of weapon. We all have steering locks right? Well, if the robber is beside you then you can of course use the steering lock to hit them. What if he is far away? Simple. Unplug the SHARP Ion Plasmacluster and throw it at his head! WHAM! Faint. LOL Well.. just saying. Let’s just hope this gadget only serves as cleaning the air.

This gadget’s got swag. In other words, it’s cool. Being a techy person, it’s always cool to have a gadget in the car with me everywhere I go. Feels like Iron Man like that.

Boys, if you want chics, get this SHARP Ion Plasmacluster.
Girls, if you want guys, do the same. I tell you, it’s a magnet for attention yo! You know what I mean lah.

Often times, when you are fetching a friend home or a colleague to lunch, you may run out of topic to talk and the ambience in the car will feel very awkward. NOT ANYMORE! With this new gadget in the car, you can always go like “oh btw.. have you checked out my SHARP Ion Plasmacluster?”

Sinar Harian

Menyifatkan pertukaran kawal selia Suruhanjaya pilihan Raya (SPR) di bawah kuasa Parlimen sebagai kemenangan awal PKR, parti itu hari ini menggesa agar ia bukan hanya sekadar ‘public relations exercise’.

Timbalan Presidennya, Mohamed Azmin Ali berkata, pembentukan jawatankuasa itu hendaklah diperhalusi oleh pelbagai pihak dengan memberikan terma rujukan yang luas dan holistik supaya jawatankuasa itu dapat melaksanakan reformasi pilihan raya.

“Saya turut menyarankan agar suatu badan bebas ditubuhkan di bawah bidang kuasa Parlimen bagi mengambil alih peranan SPR untuk membuat syor-syor terhadap urusan persempadanan semula bahagian-bahagian pilihan raya.

“Cadangan ini adalah bagi memastikan tidak berlakunya ‘conflict of interest’ dan penyalahgunaan kuasa serta menjamin tugas dan peranan SPR yang lebih efektif dan bertanggungjawab dalam pengurusan perlaksanaan pilihan raya,” ujarnya lagi.

Sehubungan itu, PKR tegas dengan pendirian menggesa pengerusi SPR dan timbalannya meletakkan jawatan bagi memulihkan kredibiliti dan reputasi suruhanjaya itu.

“Perkara 113 dan 114 Perlembagaan Persekutuan dengan jelas menggariskan pembentukan SPR. SPR bukanlah sebuah agensi ataupun jabatan Kerajaan dan tidak boleh menjadi alat kepada mana-mana parti politik.

“Oleh kerana itu, PKR bersama-sama badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) termasuk Bersih menggesa agar kawal selia SPR tidak boleh diletakkan di bawah Jabatan Perdana Menteri,” ujarnya lagi menerusi satu kenyataan media.

Speech By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng During The Penang Institute Forum “Protecting Our Children: Evaluating Statutory Rape” On 2 June 2013 (Sunday) At Wawasan Open University, Penang.

First of all I would like to congratulate the Penang Institute for yet again hosting a forum on a crucial issue facing us as a society. Today, we will discuss the issue of statutory rape. But more importantly, we want to discuss and take urgent action to protect our little ones and create a safe nest for our children so that they will grow up in a healthy, safe and nurturing environment.

For those of us who are parents, we put our lives into our children, aspiring them to grow up to fulfil their destined potentials. It therefore pains us to see the atrocities committed on children from child abuse to sexual crimes. Thus, while the issue of statutory rape is a national issue, Penang wants to take the lead in both the discussion as well as to explore critical and urgent action plans to tackle the problem.

Contrary to popular belief, statutory rape cases are not isolated cases. According to a recent media report quoting Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Aziz, there were 6,000 statutory rape cases reported in the last five years.

In recent times, there have been a few high profile cases of statutory rape which have caught the attention of the nation. Last year in August, two offenders escaped jail terms because the courts, amongst others, cited them as being “young and having a bright future”. More recently in Sabah, charges were dropped when the perpetrator decided to marry the child victim.

And of course, more than a decade ago, I myself was involved in upholding the rights of a statutory rape victim and her family in the case of Noryati binti Mohd Yusop in Melaka. Instead of detaining the rapists, the rape victim was detained. The rest, as they say, is history. I ended up in jail while the many perpetrators roams free till today. That is Malaysian justice.

When I became the first and only person to be imprisoned in Malaysia for defending a rape victim and upholding women’s right, I had had thought that public outrage would put an end to any such future cases of miscarriage of justice.

The public outrage against the decisions of the courts is understandable. Judges appear to give more weight to the background and future of the perpetrators more than to the severity of their offenses as well as the damage done to their victims. This clearly exposes the weaknesses of our institutions in dealing with and understanding of the dynamics of gender and sex-related crimes.

We see the same lack of understanding in the Federal government’s proposed solution to introduce mandatory jail sentences for statutory rape. The fact is, no two cases are alike, and therefore should not be treated as such. This is even more important in cases of sexual offenses because of the sensitivities involved.

In my opinion, what we need urgently now are two things. First, a thorough reform of our government institutions involving gender sensitisation to enable officers to handle gender-related cases with greater care and consideration. This includes social workers, the police, medical staff and even the Attorney-General’s office and the judiciary.

The recent amendments to the law to impose mandatory jail sentence clearly does not take into account the peculiarity of each case. What is truly needed are proper guidelines and education to ensure our institutions understand the dynamics of such acts, differentiating for example, adolescent relationships from paedophilic relationships or rape. Each case should be treated differently but always with the ultimate goal of protecting the wellbeing of our children.

Secondly, we need to see this issue from a larger scheme of things, beyond reform in the legislation. The problem of sexual crime is not merely a legal one, rather, it is a social problem. We need to have a rethinking in the way we treat women and girls, the way sexual relationships are perceived in our society and the stigma against rape victims.

In our patriarchal society, women and girls are often viewed as having lesser rights to speak up or decide their own fate. As such, there still exists chauvinistic thinking which treats women as properties to be used rather than equal partners in the society to be respected.

In the context of child rape, there is an overt pressure on the part of the family, especially the poorer ones, to give the child victim in marriage to her perpetrator. It is high time we confront these complicated issues to ensure that we address discriminatory social norms which may even be the underlying causes of sexual violence.

In other words, some of these norms we take for granted may be perpetuating a culture of sexual violence especially against women and girls. This is why it is important for us to have this discussion today. Discrimination whether against race or religion or gender is wrong and should be discarded.

The government must play an active role in abolishing discrimination at all levels. Only in a society where people are treated as equals, will there be respect for one another, for women and for girls.

Within the boundaries of our jurisdiction, Penang has taken the lead to ensure that children are respected and nurtured to their fullest potential. Every baby born in Penang is treated as our “golden child” with the government giving their parents RM200 to assist in providing for them. And housewives who do not work but look after their families are now given RM100 yearly from next year.

Financial support is also given by the state government to children attending primary 1 and 4 and secondary 1 and 4, as well as those who are accepted into public universities. Parents, especially those from lower income families, also have the choice to send their children to state-funded child care centres which provide quality child care service at a very low price. All these efforts show our commitment to create a healthy and nurturing environment for our children.

However, more has to be done. We are prepared to work with the federal government to take the necessary steps in addressing the issue of statutory rape. I hope with the conclusion of this forum, it will mark the first important step forward towards resolving the current legal deadlock as well as social taboo surrounding the issue.

In preparing our young for the future, we must first be able to protect them.

Lastly, thank you very much for your participation today. I wish you a fruitful discussion ahead.

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 2.6.2013.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s attempts to restore the battered public credibility and integrity of the EC by placing it under parliamentary oversight will not work unless it is accompanied by 3 critical success factors:-
• Appoint an opposition member to head the bipartisan Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on EC;
• Replace the EC’s chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Yusuf and his deputy Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar with fresh faces that must be approved by Parliament; and
• Respect the principle of “One-Person, One-Vote, One-Value”.

No real change can be effected unless these 3 critical success factors are fulfilled. Otherwise it would be just like the previous PSC on Elections before 2013 general elections, which was intended to whitewash the impartiality and biasedness of the EC in running the dirtiest elections in Malaysian history. Not only did the EC ignored the recommendations of the previous PSC, the EC Chair and Deputy Chair spent most of their time attacking PR during and after the general elections.

Both also disgraced the entire democratic process by using an indelible ink that did not last for 3 days but could be easily washed off almost immediately. As the EC had always reported to the Prime Minister’s Department, no one was surprised that the EC Chairman and Deputy Chairman openly sided with BN.

EC has refused to heed public anger who wanted answers as to how PR can lose the 2013 general elections and won only 40% of parliamentary seats despite winning 51% of the popular votes. That is the reason the new appointments to EC must be approved by Parliament to ensure that this proposed migration of powers from the Prime Minister to Parliamentary oversight is not a cosmetic change but an effective and transformative change.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年6月2日在吉隆坡发表声明：

唯有委任反对党成为选委会国会遴选委员会的主席、撤换现任选委会主正副主席、尊重“一人、一票、一价”原则，选委会才有可能挽回已毁损的公信力及廉正声誉。

拿督斯里纳吉企图成立国会遴选委员会监督选委会，挽救其公信力及廉正声誉， 这是于事无补的做法，除非他也同时采取三项措施：
• 委任在野党议员为选委会国会遴选委员会的主席，
• 撤换选委会主席丹斯里阿都阿兹及他的副主席拿督旺阿末，选出的新人选并交由国会批准。
• 尊重“一人、一票、一价”原则

除非他能够做到上述三项措施，否则无论他做什么都不会有任何真正的改变。要不然，这也好像2013年的选举改革国会遴选委员会，企图“漂白”选委会的不公正及偏见，让他们进行我国历史上最肮脏的选举。不只是选委会不理会上一次国会遴选委员会的建议，选委会主席和副主席在大选前后也花费了很多时间来攻击民联。

他们两人因不褪色墨水不到三天便褪色、并且几乎能马上被洗掉的丑闻，让整个民主过程蒙羞。选委会向来只向首相署报告，所以正副主席公开偏袒国阵，没有人会感到意外。

选委会已经拒绝听取公众愤怒的声音，公众只想知道，为何民联尽管赢得51%的多数票，却只赢得40%的国会议席、输了选举？因此，选委会的新任正副主席人选必须获得国会批准，以确保这次将监督选委会的权力从首相转移到国会遴选委员会，不是粉饰橱窗的改变，而是有效力及有变革力的改变。

POPCRAP 2

Was at Coffee Societe, Publika last night for the free flow coffee at only RM10. Awesome!

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Gaun Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 2.6.2013.

Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar should heed the tragic, angry and plaintive cries of the wife of death in custody victim N Dharmendran that policemen linked to his death should be arrested and in the lock-up for murder instead of been given desk jobs. Why is Tan Sri Khalid suddenly so quiet and passive about this criminal act that led to another custodial death when he had threatened all sorts of action against PR leaders and law-abiding Malaysians who attended peaceful rallies seeking clean, free and fair polls reforms?

DAP is shocked by Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s inhumane and irresponsible attitude towards this tragic custodial death that the policemen involved should not be suspended from duty lest the police force be demoralised. Such callous remarks shows that Ahmad Zahid is not fit to be Home Minister as he is not protecting public safety regardless who commits crimes whether it is from lawless criminals or policemen or duty.

Both the Home Minister and Inspector-General of Police had remained silent, indifferent and even uncaring instead of expressing outrage, regret and sorrow for the family of N Dharmendran for the death sustained from 52 injuries relating to canings and being stapled repeatedly whilst handcuffed. Failure to do so has led to negative public perception at the BN Federal government that it has devalued the death of N Dharmendran as less worthy of one Malaysian citizen.

DAP demands that the policemen involved in the latest custodial deaths be arrested and put in the lock-up on charges for murder. Malaysians had hoped that after the untimely death of those under the responsibility of security authorities from Teoh Beng Hock, K. Kugan and Customs officer Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed, that there will be no more custodial deaths.

Unfortunately the BN Federal government does not appear to have the political will to come down hard to punish and take preventive measures. Establishing the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission(IPCMC) would go a long way to assure the Malaysian public of the BN Federal government’s commitment to prevent custodial death.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 2.6.2013

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi Harus Buktikan Beliau Layak Menjadi Menteri Dalam Negeri Dan Memberi Perhatian Kepada Tangisan Marah Isteri N Dharmendran Dengan Menangkap Dan Mengurung Dalam Lokap Pegawai-Pegawai Polis Yang Terlibat Dalam Pembunuhan Tragis Mangsa Tersebut.

Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dan Ketua Polis Negara Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar harus memberi perhatian kepada tangisan tragis, marah dan mendayu-dayu isteri mangsa kematian dalam tahanan N Dharmendran dengan menangkap dan mengurung dalam lokap pegawai-pegawai polis yang terlibat dalam pembunuhan tersebut, daripada hanya memberi mereka tugas pejabat. Kenapa Tan Sri Khalid boleh secara tiba-tiba menjadi diam dan pasif mengenai tindakan jenayah yang telah mengakibatkan satu lagi kematian dalam tahanan ini apabila beliau telah mengugut pelbagai tindakan terhadap pemimpin-pemimpin PR dan rakyat Malaysia yang mematuhi undang-undang hanya kerana mereka telah menghadiri perhimpunan-perhimpunan aman yang menuntut reformasi pilihan raya yang bersih, bebas dan adil?

DAP terkejut dengan sikap Menteri Dalam Negeri Zahid Hamidi yang tidak berperikemanusiaan dan tidak bertanggungjawab terhadap kematian dalam tahanan yang tragis ini, di mana beliau menyatakan pegawai-pegawai polis yang terlibat tidak patut digantung tugas agar semangat pasukan polis tidak dipatah. Kenyataan yang begitu tidak berhati perut ini menunjukkan bahawa Ahmad Zahid tidak layak menjadi Menteri Dalam Negeri kerana beliau tidak melindungi keselamatan awam tanpa mengira siapa yang melakukan jenayah sama ada ia merupakan penjenayah atau pegawai polis yang bertugas.

Kedua-dua Menteri Dalam Negeri dan Ketua Polis Negara telah berdiam dan bersikap tidak ambil peduli, dan tidak menunjukkan kemarahan, rasa kesal atau dukacita terhadap keluarga N Dharmendran yang telah dibunuh dengan 52 kecederaan yang membabitkan rotan dan dikokot semasa digari. Kegagalan untuk membuat demikian telah membawa kepada persepsi umum yang negatif terhadap kerajaan Persekutuan BN yang dianggap telah menurunkan nilai N Dharmendran sebagai seorang rakyat Malaysia.

DAP menuntut agar pegawai-pegawai polis yang terlibat dalam kematian dalam tahanan ditangkap dan dikurung dalam lokap atas tuduhan membunuh. Rakyat Malaysia telah mengharapkan bahawa kematian dalam tahanan tidak akan berlaku lagi selepas kematian di bawah tanggungjawab pihak berkuasa seperti Teoh Beng Hock, K Kugan dan pegawai kastam Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed.

Malangnya, kerajaan Persekutuan BN tidak sanggup untuk mengambil tindakan keras serta langkah-langkah pencegahan. Penubuhan Suruhanjaya Aduan dan Tingkah Laku Polis (IPCMC) akan memberi kepastian kepada rakyat Malaysia bahawa kerajaan Persekutuan BN komited untuk mengelakkan kematian dalam tahanan.

民主行动党秘书长及峇眼国会议员林冠英于2013年6月2日在吉隆坡发表的文告。

阿末扎希应该关注达门登妻子的悲愤，在这起谋命的悲剧中逮捕及扣留涉案警员，以显示他可以胜任内政部长这个职位。

内政部长拿督斯里阿末扎希及全国总警长丹斯里卡立应该要关注死者达门登太太对失去丈夫的悲愤及哀嚎，必须要以谋杀案角度逮捕及扣留达门登命案的涉案警员，并不只是调职文书工作而已。为何总警长丹斯里卡立忽然对于这项在扣留期间的谋杀案显得被动又静若寒蝉了，完全不像较早前恫言不惜以任何手段对付参与寻求干净、自由及公平选举集会的民联领袖及马来西亚公民？

行动党对于内政部长在这起扣留死亡事件中不人道及不负责任的态度感到震惊，他竟然认为牵涉的警员不必被停职以免造成警察部队士气低落。这种麻木不仁的言论显示阿末扎希并不胜任内政部长，因为不管是目无法纪的罪犯或执勤的警员犯罪，他都必须要保护公众的安全为先。

内政部长及总警长丹斯里卡立，双双对于达门登家庭因为达门登死亡的愤怒、遗憾和悲伤仍旧不闻不问、不揪不采。达门登是因为双手被铐，被鞭打及被钉书机重复猛钉的情况下丧命。这事件已经造成公众负面的观感，认为国阵联邦政府罔顾马来西亚公民的性命，只想要草草平息达门登死亡事件。

行动党要求在这起扣留死亡事件必须以谋杀案看待，涉案警员必须遭逮捕及扣留。大马人原本希望在赵明福、古甘及关税官员沙巴尼皆在治安单位内不寻常丧命之后，不该再有人于扣留期间丧命。

很不幸的，国阵联邦政府根本没有政治意愿严惩及拟定防范措施。看来要国阵联邦政府履行承诺成立独立警察投诉与行为不检委员会（IPCMC） 以避免大马人在扣留期间丧命，还有很长一段路要走。
