Gorey-inspired project: D is for Dorothy

Here is Dorothy, died in a field full of poppy flowers. In real life, you won’t die because you smell this flower. Poppy is almost odorless. In Wizard of Oz, it was a symbolism of opium (a drug type), and or death. Frequently, users who smoke it would fall asleep and then die.

Anwar: Deputy IGP should not be an Umno stooge

Malaysiakini

PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim has warned deputy inspector-general of police Bakri Zinin not to behave like an Umno division leader to try and curb Saturday’s rally at Padang Merbok.

Anwar said this is a peaceful gathering and police should not be providing restrictions or warnings.

“There have been no disruption to 14 previous rallies nationwide, except they have taken action on the organisers at the instructions of Umno.

“He (deputy IGP) should not be another Umno division leader to take a hard stand against the rally,” he said.

The deputy IGP, he said, can invite us and we are willing to meet them in facilitating the rally.

[PRESS STATEMENT] On The Economy (TPPA, GST and Budget Deficit) And Crime

PRESS RELEASE

19 JUNE 2013

I cautiously take note of the announcement by Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak of the formation of a committee that will focus on reducing the national budgetary deficit to 3% by 2015. An economic undertaking of that feat could have easily been achieved through strict economic governance and transparent government procurement without the need for any new taxes or cutting of essential government expenditures with direct impact on the people’s livelihood.

Unfortunately, Dato’ Seri Najib continues to govern behind a veil of secrecy. There is a growing concern over his cabinet’s conduct on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiations precisely because of his administration’s refusal to be transparent and inclusive during the negotiations. In fact, much of the financial burden that adds up to the ballooning national budgetary deficit also originates from his unsound vote-buying schemes that cost the public billions of ringgit in the last general election.

The BN government must not drag the public to cover for its economic incompetence and policy shortfalls. Any attempts to introduce a new Goods and Services Tax (GST) albeit in stages to reduce the budgetary deficit will be resisted much in the same force that the people had resisted electoral fraud. I maintain that GST can only be introduced if the average level of income of common Malaysians have risen significantly over a period of 5 years, in comparison to the low 2.6% average wage growth achieved in between 2000 and 2010.

Dato’ Seri Najib’s does not have the full legitimacy in terms of popular votes, and he has not been able to deliver the most basic of his economic promises since being sworn in recently. The fact that his administration struggles to reduce car prices as promised in his manifesto exemplified the incompetence and hopelessness of his administration.

Dato’ Seri Najib has also failed to deliver on his promise to provide affordable and livable housing for the people. We shall track the BN government’s performance on public housing closely and will consider it a failure if he cannot bring down the average prices of mid-range housing by at least 10% in the next one year.

Crime

The public is alarmingly concerned with the escalating crime rate especially violent crimes. It is not in our place as public officials to blame the concern on misperception as safety and fear are all a question of perception. Clearly, there is a serious credibility issue engulfing our police force that continuously dilutes the public’s confidence in its ability to provide safety.

Pakatan Rakyat can contribute constructively to allay the public concern. I offer Pakatan Rakyat’s full assistance to the police force to work together in engaging the public to bridge the growing gap between credibility and perception with the real and honest work that the police has been putting. I will table to the Pakatan Rakyat leadership that a committee made up of Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional representatives is formed immediately to work with the IGP and his officers to address the concerns over safety.

Finally I urge Dato’ Seri Najib to meet the 3 demands put forth by the people’s movement and allow for the peaceful gathering in Padang Merbok on 22 June to proceed smoothly.

‘No end to 505 rallies until EC resigns’

Malaysiakini

Pakatan Rakyat’s Black 505 rallies that have been going on nationwide after the May 5 general election, will go on and won’t stop until the present leadership of the Election Commission (EC) resigns.

PKR vice-president Tian Chua said this in an interview yesterday.

NONE“I don’t think the EC can go against the will of the people. Five years ago, people told me the government will never abolish the Internal Security Act (ISA), but eventually they did,” he said when asked about EC’s continuous refusal to heed calls for their resignation.

“We went through midnight in Parliament to pass an election law, which was mutually agreed by both sides, which clearly specified that the indelible ink must last seven days. EC has deliberately violated the law,” he said, four days before Pakatan’s Black 505 rally at Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur.

He said that the EC’s failure to provide foolproof indelible ink for the election was a “crime that cannot be forgiven”.

“They (EC) should be out on trial for violating electoral law. The resignation of the EC is the bare minimum to show that they take responsibility for what has happened,” he said.

‘Once in a lifetime opportunity’

Chua believes however that the people would not grow tired of Pakatan’s series of nationwide rallies, “except for party workers, speakers, organisers and journalists”.

“We follow the news every day, so for us it is repetitive. But for people who are in Batu Pahat for example, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of the rally.

azlan“People are actually excited about the rallies. The fatigue is probably for the speakers who are running around from one place to another.”

He said it was only though participation in rallies that the people would feel empowered.

“It’s not just about the election. The gathering itself is a right that we have been fighting for. We cannot give up just because the government refuses to acknowledge the rise of the people. All struggles go through a long process.”

He also said that, should Pakatan fail in its election petitions filed nationwide, it will again go to the streets in order to demand democratic electoral reforms.

“If our law is correct, if our judges are just, then we stand a chance (of winning the petitions). If the courts cannot give us justice, we have no choice, we will take to the streets again,” he added.

The Opposition’s New Mandate

TMI

Thousands of Malaysians voted abroad during the 13th general election. Many more returned from Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, London and Taiwan, traditionally places with large numbers of Malaysians, to exercise their right to suffrage on May 5th.

This is a peculiar phenomenon.

Why do Malaysians who have found greener pastures abroad feel compelled to return to the country to cast their ballot? This certainly goes against the thesis of Albert O. Hirshman — who argued in a famous treatise in 1970 that when people have the chance to leave, they will, especially if they have found the entity to be increasingly dysfunctional and inefficient.

 Malaysia, or rather its government, over the last few decades, has certainly manifested such features.


Concurrently, those who decided to ‘stay back’ would attempt to improve the country by voicing out. Be that as it may, those who have left the country are not expected to express their voices anymore let alone to vote. Yet, vote they did.

The quick and short answer to the above phenomenon is that they care. Indeed, not only do they care about the future of their immediate and extended families still in Malaysia, but they care about Malaysia, period.

And that is where Malaysia draws its greatest pride from — Malaysians and their sense of belonging, of camaraderie.

Beyond caring, they also know, through their collective exposure in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, if not as far away as United Kingdom, Japan and Australia, that Malaysia has been back-pedaling, especially on issues like corruption and crime let alone in building a vibrant democracy.

Take corruption, for example. The national debt to gross domestic product (GDP) ratio at 54 per cent, it is one per cent shy of the constitutional limit; and this figure is a conservative estimate. When one lumps in the debt of the government linked companies (GLCS), often with the element of corruption still at work, the ratio is easily in the range of the mid-70s.

While many do not like to use the B word (i.e. bankcruptcy), the next generation is expected to foot the financial profligacy of the present one. Malaysians abroad share the same concern and anxieties with those at home.

Not surprisingly, up 75 to 85 per cent of the voters abroad, almost without fail, voted for the opposition according to exit polls.

Like the 51 per cent of the people in Malaysia, they chose to throw their lot with Pakatan Rakyat, this despite the fact that Pakatan Rakyat did not have any offices or representatives outside the country.

In fact, one may even wonder if they did so purely to register their disgust with Barisan National, rather than due to any objective attachment to Pakatan Rakyat; a trend that was discernible across all racial groups in urban areas from 2008 onwards.

Even in rural places ostensibly ‘won’ by the government, the establishment is not out of the woods, if ever they can be, due to their indulgent attitude to corruption and sheer exploitation of the natural resources that impacts rural communities directly.

My PAS colleague, Dr Dzukefly Ahmad, noted in a Malay op-ed that of the 11 constituencies with Dayak majority in Sarawak, all of them had experienced a dip of 10 per cent or more in the votes for the government.

This is unprecedented in areas that are customarily the vote banks of the state government. Thus, if Sabah and Sarawak are the ‘fixed deposit’ of the government, the yield is only decreasing, not enlarging.

Yet, this election, has allowed a minority government to be in Putrajaya, the seat of the Malaysian government. Like many in the country and abroad, the opposition is not so much shocked as it is outraged by the ‘enforced limitations’ of the electoral system; some of which are now being legally challenged by Pakatan Rakyat.

The limitations were ‘enforced’ because the Electoral Commission, which was under the Prime Minister’s Office, failed to reform the electoral system in the more than four years available ahead of the recent 13th general election, the ‘disappearing’ indelible ink fiasco included.

Electoral reforms were all the more imperative after repeated rounds of feedbacks from non-governmental groups like Bersih I, II, III, Tindak and Transparency International. But, whether by design or default, they chose to sit tight indifferent to the loud calls for free and fair elections. Even to the extent of allowing tainted electoral rolls to remain on the register, especially in my constituency that is Lembah Pantai.

In moments like these, it is easy to hate the arbitrary nature and high-handedness of the ruling government too. This is all the more the case when the ruling establishment, once again, is showing signs of attempting to remain in power on the sly.

Instead of seeking ‘national reconciliation’ advocated by the Prime Minister, the very first things that the Ministry of Home Affairs and Inspector General Police did was to arrest opposition figures and dissidents. A dragnet was imposed on those who spoke out against the unfairness of the election.

Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, the co-chairperson of Bersih, was right to affirm that “the government has been using words (such as national reconciliation), which it doesn’t even understand”; this when the Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is also a patron to a Global Movement of Moderates Foundation (GMMF) whose rhetoric is not even echoed by his own immoderate party at home.

But Malaysians near and abroad must not fall into the temptation of blind hate, just as I am reminding myself too. To do so would be to stoop to the level of extreme jingoistic and mirror the narrative of such rabid malicious press likeUtusan Malaysia - the UMNO mouthpiece.

On the other hand, Pakatan Rakyat’s demand for substantive action such as the immediate removal of the Election Commission’s leadership before participating in the Prime Minister’s offer of a Parliamentary Select Committee to manage the Election Commission, which now falls under the Prime Minister’s Department will test the government’s readiness for reforms.

Indeed, revamping the Electoral Commission is urgently needed, especially on boundary redelineation which have to be completed over the next two years which once again will determine the next election’s fairness.

Beyond electoral petitions and all, the opposition has to govern well  in Selangor and Penang, too, without which they would not be able to arrest the growing skepticism of politicians emerging through out the country.

Pakatan Rakyat will continue to push for legislative reform in Parliament, as we have done since Malaysians gave us their mandate. The opposition mandate is to stay vigilant, alert and efficient, even as it is confronting a set of legal electoral challenges. Failure is not an option in the face of an increasingly hawkish and change-resistant minority government of Barisan National.

Indeed our march of history towards democracy will go on even if it is slightly bumpy, facing temporary roadblocks. For a mandate is still a mandate and should be the fodder for continued fortitude, determination and sacrifice for greater democracy in Malaysia.

Di Jakarta, Anwar Ibrahim Cerita Kecurangan Pemilu

Tempo

Pemimpin oposisi Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, bertandang ke Indonesia. Dalam kunjungannya di Jakarta, Anwar mengundang sejumlah media di Hotel Crown, Ahad, 16 Juni 2013, untuk berbincang soal kecurangan pemilihan umum di Malaysia yang diselenggarakan April lalu.

Anwar menceritakan “serangan” partai koalisi pro-pemerintah, Barisan Nasional, yang digawangi Partai UMNO, terhadap kelompok oposisi, Pakatan Rakyat. Saat masa kampanye, kata Anwar, partai oposisi diserang melalui media massa yang dia klaim sudah dibeli oleh partai penguasa. “Selama 24 jam kami diserang melalui siaran di televisi, isu-isu diembuskan,” kata Anwar.

Contohnya, menurut Anwar, adanya isu jika Anwar Ibrahim terpilih sebagai perdana menteri, ia akan mengkristenkan Malaysia. “Bagi masyarakat yang tahu isu itu bakal ketawa, tapi masyarakat yang di pedalaman banyak yang termakan, mungkin mereka khawatir,” ujarnya.

Lantaran partai penguasa menguasai media massa, kata Anwar, partai oposisi tak punya sarana kampanye. Satu-satunya cara kampanye dengan menyebar pamflet. Namun upaya ini sering kali menuai petaka. Beberapa kader Anwar ditangkap polisi saat menyebarkan pamflet tanpa tuduhan jelas. “Setidaknya ada 25-30 anak muda kami ditangkap,” kata Anwar.

Kecurangan berlanjut hingga pemilihan umum tiba. Anwar mengaku menemukan praktek politik uang saat pemilihan umum berlangsung. Dia menemukan sejumlah masyarakat mendapat duit 500 ringgit. Dia juga menuding Komisi Pemilihan Umum Malaysia tak netral sebab terlalu membela partai penguasa. Dia menyebut KPU Malaysia tak profesional. Sebagai contoh, tak ada pengawasan yang jelas saat pemilihan dan penghitungan suara dilakukan, sehingga rawan terjadi kecurangan.

Bahkan Anwar menyebutkan bahwa tinta tanda peserta pemilu dipalsukan KPU Malaysia. Tinta yang seharusnya permanen diganti menjadi tinta biasa yang mudah dihapus. “Bahkan lucunya di tengah pemilu ada yang mati lampu, ini, kan, rentan kecurangan,” katanya.

Akibat kecurangan itu, partai penguasa dinyatakan menang. Sementara data yang Anwar punya menyatakan partai oposisinya menang lebih dari 50 persen. Anwar dan partai oposisi berjanji tetap kukuh mempertanyakan pemilihan umum Malaysia. Dia meminta lembaga pengawas pemilu Malaysia untuk mengusut dugaan kecurangan ini. Termasuk meminta pejabat KPU Malaysia untuk lengser dan bertanggung jawab. Berita internasional tentang Malaysia lainnya klik di sini.

Anwar Ibrahim Pastikan Gelar Demo Besar

Tempo

Di

 

Pemimpin oposisi Malaysia, Pakatan Rakyat, Anwar Ibrahim, akan menggelar demo besar pada 22 Juni 2013, menolak pemilihan umum yang dianggap penuh kecurangan. Rencananya demo besar itu akan dipusatkan di Padang Merbuk, Kuala Lumpur.

“Kami minta komisi pemilihan umum Malaysia mundur dan bertanggungjawab atas kecurangan ini,” kata Anwar saat menemui wartawan di Hotel Crown Plaza, Jakarta Selatan, Ahad, 16 Juni 2013.

Anwar mengaku pihak oposisi sudah pernah mengajukan keberatan serupa ke KPU Malaysia. Namun dia mengaku KPU menanggapi dengan arogan dengan mengatakan partai oposisi tak punya hak menggugat hasil pemilu.

Namun upaya demo besar tanggal 22 Juni mendatang, diakui Anwar mendapat halangan. Sekitar 15 pemuda kader Anwar ditangkap oleh polisi Malaysia, Sabtu, 15 Juni 2013, karena menyebarkan pamflet ajakan demo masal. “Ini tidak ada semangat bawa perubahan demokrasi,” kata Anwar.

Meski begitu, dia melanjutkan, tak akan membatalkan rencana demo besar tanggal 22 Juni mendatang. Anwar pun berjanji demo besar nanti partai oposisi tidak akan berujung aksi anarki. “Kami sudah nyatakan demo kami damai.”

Anwar Ibrahim Sambut Baik JK Jadi Penengah di Pemilu Malaysia

detikNews

Tokoh oposisi Pakatan Rakyat (PR) Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, menyambut baik tawaran Jusuf Kalla untuk menjadi penengah di kemelut Pemilu Malaysia yang melibatkan Anwar dan kontestan pertahanan Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

“Saya hormati inisiatif Pak JK. Tetapi komisi belum selesai dan isu Pemilu belum selesai,” kata Anwar Ibrahim dalam jumpa pers di Hotel Crown Plaza, Jl Gatot Subroto, Jakarta Selatan,Minggu (16/6/2013).

JK, menurut Anwar, dianggap mampu menjadi penengah dalam kemelut diantara kedua kontestan Pemilu tersebut. Hal ini karena JK merupakan teman akrab kedua pihak. Selain itu juga, dia menilai JK memiliki rekam jejak dalam meredam konflik, tidak hanya di Indonesia, namun juga di kawasan Asia Tenggara seperti di Myanmar.

Anwar yang mengenakan stelan jas abu itu menyatakan telah bertemu dengan Presiden SBY dua hari lalu di Bali. Dalam pertemuan itu dia berbincang mengenai permasalahan-permasalahan yang ada di Malaysia, khususnya terkait proses Pemilu Malaysia, dan beberapa kebijakan bilateral kedua negara.

“Saya juga mengutarakan tentang peranan Indonesia dan semangat idealisme demokrasi tentang kebebasan dan keadilan,” ujar Anwar.

Anwar menampik rumor yang berkembang selama ini bila ada agenda dirinya bertemu dengan PM Najib di Jakarta membahas isu-isu seputar Pemilu 2013.

“Saya jelaskan, tidak ada pertemuan. Tidak ada rencana peremuan,” kata Anwar.

Meski demikian, dirinya akan membuka pintu pertemuan bila sewaktu-waktu pihak dari PM Najib hendak bertemu membicarakan persoalan Pemilu. “Saya pikir harus lebih terbuka,” katanya.

搞好內政就有底氣


上周,两则涉及外交/旅游经济领域的消息,引起了人们不小的关注。
 
第一是日本内阁决定,免除马来西亚和泰国游客的入境签证。日本自1993年开始对大马旅客实施签证措施,随着该国内阁此项宣布,终于停止了这整整已实施20年的行政手续。
 
第二是我国为了吸引更多外资和外国专才,首相纳吉宣布放宽现有签证措施,日后符合资格的外国投资者,可获得5年的多次往返签证。目前移民局发出的多次往返签证通常为1年期,而一些国家的人民前来我国经商或旅游都需申请签证,且逗留期不可超过30天。
 
上述两项外交/旅游经济政策,一个是由日本政府施诸我国国民,另一个则由我国政府落实在外国人身上,其实都是从不同的方向验证一个政治学的理论:外交是内政的延伸,内政是外交的基础。
 
日本政府免除大马等东南亚国民的入境签证,最主要的考量当然是吸引更多本区域旅客到该国旅游消费,通过推动观光业的更大发展来增加国家收入,亦是日本首相安倍晋三重振经济的规划之一部分。但更可注意的是,日本内阁在同时批准的《2013年观光白皮书》里说到,东南亚地区“中产阶层和富裕阶层正在增加,亲日度较高”,这其实就是该国政府对马来西亚等东南亚国家的评鉴之语,具体指涉的乃是这些国家的经济实力和国民素质。
 
日本当初之所以对我国国民实施签证措施,实是源于80年代大批大马人到日本跳飞机当淘金客,从事非法劳作。据日本在1989年的数据,当年在该国当非法外劳的大马人人数,在非法外劳总人数中排第5位,估计超过2万名。
 
日本政府在20年后终于免除我国国民的入境签证,正好说明大马在这20年间,从一个非法外劳输出国,变身为一个非法外劳输入国的过程。80年代到外国跳飞机的岁月,基本已成历史,今日几乎不复见。我国在这20年里,即使在政经文教等领域仍有许多不足不善之处,但起码政治和社会环境整体安定,经济稳健成长,国民在人均收入、教育程度、平均寿命等方面的指数逐年提升。
 
尤其是前首相马哈迪在整个90年代成功凝聚民意,定下明确的远大目标,倾举国之力朝先进国宏愿全面迈进,把马来西亚推上国际荣誉榜,成为发展中国家的“模范生”;但“马哈迪主义”的发展模式亦带来许多不可忽视的后遗症,对公民社会和经济民主戕害尤甚,已为不少论者所剖解和指陈。
 
简言之,一个国家没有内政领域——政治、经济、社会、教育、文化等方方面面综合素质的改善,在外交上通常也不会有什么表现。
 
同样的,我国要以“5年多次往返签证”这项外交行政手段吸引外国专才,能不能收到预期效果,最关键的正是内政领域的良好治理——政治方面,有没有完备而独立的反贪污反贿赂的防腐机制;政府方面,有没有高效率、清廉正直的公务员队伍;经济方面,有没有透明开放、公平自由的竞争原则;社会方面,有没有能够切实保障居民生命和财产安全的治安水平;基建方面,有没有高效通畅、品质优良的公交、运输和物流软硬建设;文化方面,有没有生气蓬勃、丰富多元的人文空间;国民素质方面,有没有和平自律、友善有礼的民众…
 
要留住本国人才,要招揽外国专才,内政才是最需要做好的基本功。
