All peace-loving and true Malaysians are fed-up with unending racial shenanigans of UMNO and its mouthpieces. (en/bm/cn)

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 11 June 2011.

Ordinary peace-loving Malaysians are fed up and repulsed by the uncivilized demands of Datuk Ibrahim Ali and Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ali Rustam for the revocation of Bersih Chairperson Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan’s citizenship.

Ali Rustam’s statement, saying that it was “better to just lose one person than to lose a lot of lives” is a thinly veiled threat and utterly irresponsible as an elected Chief Minister.Such uncouth remarks are uncalled for and not only unjustifiable but also unconstitutional with racist and seditious intent.

Article 9 of the Federal Constitution states that: “No citizen shall be banished or excluded from the Federation”, whereas Article 25 provides for the revocation of citizenship only for naturalised citizens, i.e. “(1) The Federal Government may by order deprive of his citizenship any person who is a citizen by registration under Article 16A or 17 or a citizen by naturalisation if satisfied – (a) that he has shown himself by act or speech to be disloyal or disaffected towards the Federation”.

In other words, no Malaysian whose parents are also Malaysians can have their citizenship revoked unless they themselves renounce it. This shows that there is no basis for such a demand by both Ibrahim Ali and Ali Rustam.
The DAP therefore condemns such insidious rhetoric, which is both seditious and racist. Why is it that such demands are only made against non-Malays and never upon Malays?

Just like those before them who have vilified other non-Malays as pendatang, likening Indians to beggars and Chinese women to prostitutes, these venomous remarks appear to be directed to Datuk Ambiga because she is of Indian ethnicity.

\We call upon the Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein to initiate firm action upon Ibrahim Ali and Ali Rustam for their seditious and racially inflammatory remarks.

Furthermore, we also call upon Prime Minster Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak to display commitment to his 1Malaysia slogan by demanding the resignation of Ali Rustam as the Chief Minister of Malacca. Such remarks made by Ali Rustam are irresponsible and unbecoming of his stature.

If Hishamuddin and Najib fail to take action, it will mean that they and the rest of UMNO are in acquiescence. After all, silence implies approval.

In this case, it is not just UMNO who are responsible but also all the other BN component parties who have stood by without saying a word. If they cannot even utter a word of protest and demand action to be taken against such hateful remarks against their fellow Malaysians, then they are irrelevant and ineffective.

All peace-loving and true Malaysians are fed-up with unending racial shenanigans of UMNO and its mouthpieces. We demand that action be taken in these most vicious remarks, which are not only a personal insult to Datuk Ambiga, but also an insult against all Malaysians in general and the Indian community in particular.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng pada 11 Julai 2011 di Kuala Lumpur.

Rakyat Malaysia biasa yang cintakan keamanan sudah bosan dan menangkis permintaan yang tidak bertamadun oleh Datuk Ibrahim Ali dan Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Seri Ali Rustam yang mahu kewarganegaraan Pengerusi Bersih, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan dibatalkan.

Kenyataan Ali Rustam yang berbunyi “adalah lebih baik kehilangan seorang daripada kehilangan banyak nyawa” merupakan ancaman berselindung secara halus dan benar- benar tidak bertanggungjawab sebagai Ketua Menteri yang dipilih.

Kenyataan biadap sedemikian masih belum disiasat dan bukan sahaja tidak wajar tetapi juga tidak berpelembagaan dengan bersifat perkauman dan menghasut.

Perkara 9 Perlembagaan Persekutuan menyatakan bahawa: “Tiada seorang pun warganegara boleh dibuang negeri atau dikecualikan daripada Persekutuan”, sedangkan Perkara 25 menyediakan peruntukan bagi pembatalan kewarganegaraan hanya untuk mereka yang mempunyai kerakyatan tetap. Iaitu 1) Kerajaan Persekutuan melalui perintah boleh melucutkan kewarganegaraan mana- mana individu yang mempunyai kewarganegaraan melalui pendaftaran di bawah Artikel 16A atau 17 atau warganegara tetap jika berpuas hati- (a) bahawa dia telah menunjukkan dirinya melalui perbuatan atau percakapan yang menunjukkan dia tidak setia atau tidak berpuas hati dengan Persekutuan”.

Dalam erti kata lain, tiada rakyat Malaysia yang ibu bapanya juga rakyat Malaysia boleh dibatalkan kewarganegaraan melainkan mereka sendiri membuangnya. Ini menunjukkan bahawa tidak ada asas bagi permohonan oleh kedua dua Ibrahim Ali dan Ali Rustam.

Atas sebab itulah, DAP mengutuk perbuatan retorik yang berbahaya di mana berbau hasutan dan perkauman. Mengapa tuntutan ini hanya dibuat terhadap orang bukan Melayu dan tidak pernah berlaku kepada Melayu?

Sama seperti orang- orang bukan Melayu yang sebelum ini yang telah dicerca sebagai pendatang, menyamakan India seperti pengemis dan wanita cina sebagai pelacur, ternyata kenyataan- kenyataan berbisa ini ditujukan kepada Datuk Ambiga disebabkan dia adalah dari keturunan India.

Kami menyeru Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein untuk mengambil tindakan tegas ke atas Ibrahim Ali dan Ali Rustam atas kata- kata berunsur hasutan dan perkauman ini.

Selain itu, kami juga menyeru Perdana Menteri Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak supaya menunjukkan komitmen terhadap slogan 1 Malaysia dengan menuntut agar Ali Rustam digugurkan sebagai Ketua Menteri Melaka. Kenyataan- kenyataan oleh Ali Rustam ternyata tidak bertanggungjawab dan tidak berpatutan dengan jawatannya.

Jika Hishamuddin dan Najib gagal untuk mengambil tindakan, ini bermakna mereka dan ahli UMNO yang lain juga bersetuju dengan kenyataan tersebut. Diam tanpa setuju.

Dalam kes ini, bukan UMNO sahaja tidak bertanggungjawab tetapi semua parti komponen BN lain yang berdiam diri juga turut tidak bertanggungjawab. Jika mereka tidak menyebut perkataan bantahan dan menuntut agar tindakan terhadap kenyataan berbau kebencian ini diambil terhadap rakyat Malaysia, ini bermakna mereka juga tidak relevan dan berkesan.

Semua rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan keamanan sudah bosan dengan penipuan dan perkauman yang tiada kesudahan oleh UMNO dan konco- konconya. Kami menuntut agar tindakan diambil terhadap kenyataan berbau zalim, yang bukan sahaja menghina peribadi Datuk Ambiga tetapi juga satu penghinaan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia secara am dan masyarakat India khususnya.

民主行动党秘书长兼巴眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年7月11日在吉隆坡发表声明:

拿督依布拉欣及马六甲州首长拿督斯里阿里鲁斯丹不文明地要求褫夺净选盟主席安美嘉的公民权,令普通爱好和平的老百姓感到厌恶及排斥。

阿里鲁斯丹在文告中说,“宁可牺牲一个人,也不要让更多人丧命”,身为一名首长,这简直是恐吓的托辞,完全不负责任。
上述粗糙的言论是不合宜的,它不是不合理,也因含种族与毁谤成份,违背宪法精神。

《联邦宪法》第9条阐明:“没有任何公民可以被放逐或排挤在联邦之外。”,第25条文阐明公民权禠夺只可用于入藉公民。例如(1)联邦政府只可以在下列情况下,褫夺一个在第16A条文或第17条文下登记入藉的公民权- (a)他通过行为或演说表示对联邦的不忠及叛离。

换句话说,没有一名父母为马来西亚人的马来西亚人,其公民权可以被禠夺,除非他们自己放弃。这证明依不拉欣阿里和阿里鲁斯旦的要求是没有根据的。

行动党谴责这种阴险理论,这是具煽动性及种族主义的。为什么他们只针对非马来人提出这种要求?却从来没有针对马来人?

就好像那些已经污辱非马来人为“外来者”、将印度人比喻为乞丐、将华裔妇女形空为妓女,这些恶意言论直接指向拿督安美嘉,看来因为她是印度人。

我们促请内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁马上对依布拉欣阿里和阿里鲁斯旦的煽动性及种族性言论采取行动。

此外,我们也促请首相拿督斯里纳吉将“一个马来西亚”口号付诸行动,叫阿里鲁斯旦辞去马六甲首席部长一职。他的言论是不负责任的,也与他的身份不相称。

如果希山慕丁和纳吉还不采取行动,这意味着他们与其他巫统人士都是同谋。别忘了,沉默意味着认同。

这种情况下,不只是巫统需要负责任,其它在一旁观望、不发一语的国阵成员党也有责任。如果他们对这种套用在国民身上的仇恨性言论一句抗议也没有、也不要求有关人士被对付,那证明他们已经不重要、无效率。

普通爱好和平的老百姓对巫统及其喉舌连续不断发表种族性言论感到厌恶。我们要求有关当局马上对上述恶毒的言论采取行动,他们不只对拿督安美嘉进行人身攻击,也污辱了全体马来西亚民众,特别是印度社群。

Guan Eng visits Tung Shin Hospital on 10/7/2011

It is a tragic day in Malaysia when grown men like Hishamuddin have succumbed to a bewildering fear of the light.(En/bm/cn)

8 Jul 2011- The Greek philosopher Plato said that “we can forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light”.

It would appear that in Malaysia, there are men holding offices of high power who are inexplicably petrified by the prospect of a group of Malaysians who intend to exercise their basic human rights to gather peacefully to highlight the need to address what they see as electoral flaws. I wish to reiterate DAP’s position of supporting peaceful demonstrations and condemning violent demonstrations.

The act of placing a restriction order on 91 individuals, by barring them from assembling and disallowing them entry into certain spots in Kuala Lumpur this Saturday, is ridiculous and exposes an irrational fear on the part of Home Minister Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn and the police.

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister and DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 4 July 2011.

Does Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein Dare To Ban Perkasa As He Has Banned Bersih Or Arrest Senator Ezam Mohamad And Khairy Jamaluddin Just As The Police Has Arrested Sungai Siput MP Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj Under The Emergency Ordinance To Prove That The Police Does Not Practice Double-Standards Or Favouritism?

DAP Will Work With PR To Launch A 5-Year Plan To Change The State Government To Return Sarawak To Sarawakians Based On 3 Main Operational Thrusts (en/cn).

Despite falling short of the effort to deny BN its 2/3 majority, PR did creditably by doubling opposition seats to 16. The popular vote of BN also fell from 63% in 2006 state general elections to 55%. Unfortunately one of the injustice of constituency delineation leaves the opposition at an unfair disadvantange is that despite BN winning only 55% of the popular vote, BN could still win 77% of the seats.

This unfair victory of BN winning 77% of the seats despite getting only 55% of the popular vote is one of the key reasons why Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud refuses to step down. However the nervousness of Taib at this reduced victory can be seen when he had to get himself sworn in as Chief Minister at near midnight. Why get sworn in in such great haste in the dark and stormy night and not wait a few days later to do it properly in broad daylight?

Is Taib afraid that Putrajaya will intervene and prevent Taib from taking charge of Petra Jaya?

If The Chinese Community Submit To UMNO’s And Chua Soi Lek’s Threats And Vote For MCA For Fear Of Losing Chinese Representation In Government, The Winning MCA Elected Representatives Will Not Be Beholden To The People But Beholden To UMNO(en/cn).

MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and MCA should be condemned for their reckless and desperate racial politics that has given UMNO the opportunity to up the racial ante and deepen racial polarisation in Malaysia. If the Chinese community submit to UMNO’s and Chua’s threats and vote for MCA for fear of losing Chinese representation in government, the winning MCA elected representatives will not be beholden o the people but beholden to UMNO.

What is the point then of electing wakil rakyat’s who neither listen to the people nor do the people’s work but will only listen to UMNO and do UMNO’s dirty work of corruption and abuse of power. What hope is there for Malaysians, if BN, UMNO and MCA are allowed to continue to steal our children’s future?

Clearly Chua is now the historical culprit because his reckless political gamble to claw back lost political support has assisted UMNO top leaders to demonise the Chinese community. Chua’s political gamble has also resulted in UMNO top leaders jumping in with the twin racist strategy of threatening the Chinese community with losing representation in government whilst inviting PAS to join UMNO in BN to form a grand coalition of racist and extremist Malays.

Let us not steal our children’s future but give them hope, teach them love and build their confidence that they can be as good as they want and not be inferior or left behind merely on account of the colour of their skin.


Let us not steal our children’s future but give them hope, teach them love and build their confidence that they can be as good as they want and not be inferior or left behind merely on account of the colour of their skin.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin should read in full my 2011 Penang Easter Message and not be misled by lies spread by an UMNO blog run by an UMNO leader. I enclose herewith the relevant excerpt of my Easter Message:-

MCA Would Claw Back Lost Electoral Support If He Can Pluck Up 10% Of His Bravery In Fighting DAP To Fight BN’s Corruption And Cronyism And UMNO’s Racist Policies As Such As 1Melayu, 1 Bumi.

MCA President Chua Soi Lek would claw back MCA’s lost electoral support if he is can pluck up 10% of his bravery in fighting DAP to fight BN’s cronyism, and corruption as well as UMNO’s racist policies such as 1Melayu, 1Bumi. DAP does not see Chua’s enthusiasm or courage in fighting corruption, cronyism or racist policies of 1Melayu,1 bumi in the same emotional manner as he fights DAP with self-contradictory slogans of ‘Chinese should not be fighting Chinese’.

By also claiming that the DAP’s participation in election and victories against MCA will result in reduced Chinese representation in the Government, Chua Soi Lek has revealed that his party is unable to comprehend the basic nature of democracy. Not only that, he is also disrespecting the right of voters to choose the best representative for themselves, regardless of race.

The DAP rejects the philosophy of race-based politics, and strongly believes that elections should not be racialised. Unlike the MCA, the DAP believes that elections empower voters to exercise their democratic rights to choose representatives based on the principles of justice, truth, freedom and good governance. Elections is about democracy not about race; it is about choosing the best candidate who can best serve and represent voters not about race; it is about whose policies promotes justice, freedom and truth not about race.

Chua Soi Lek Labelled As Crazy By His Own MCA Branch In Penang

Chua Soi Lek Labelled As Crazy By His Own MCA Branch In Penang: -Urban Voters In Sarawak Voted For PR And DAP not On Race But Because They Wanted Good Governance, An End To Widespread Corruption And Taib Mahmud’s Misrule.

Urban voters in Sarawak voted for PR and DAP not on race but because they wanted good governance, an end to widespread corruption and Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Taib Mahmud’s misrule. DAP would not have won the four seats of Kidurong, Meradong, Batu Kawah and Dudong without strong Iban support as these seats have either slightly more than 50% of Chinese voters or even slightly more than 50% of Iban voters.

If there is any generalisation of the Sarawak general elections is to be done it should not be based on demographic trends based on race but geographical trends based on location.

In this holy Easter celebration to mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the Lord Jesus resurrection, is also an occasion to to renew Christians’ vows of faith in truth, hope and love. Christians regardless of skin colour have prayed for peace and prosperity. Christians have also prayed for wisdom and compassion in our leaders. Most important of all Christians pray for truth to guide Malaysians in our daily affairs.

All religions celebrate these common values of truth, unity in diversity, freedom of choice and peace. We must seek truth from facts and not allow sentiments to be ruled by blind emotion.

Those fanning racial sentiments by accusing DAP of playing racial politics should cease immediately. The results of the 2011 Sarawak Election have proven that the desire and movement for change is not confined to one community alone but spread across the various communities of Sarawak.

Is The Proxy Voting System The Newest Strategy By The Election Commission(EC) To Assist BN To Defend Putrajaya At All Costs And Win The 13th General Elections?

DAP express shock at the latest proposal by the EC to implement a proxy voting system that would empower individuals to cast ballots on behalf of other registered voters. EC chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof even said that this was amongst some proposed 30 amendments to election laws in the country that the commission hoped to table in the coming Parliament sitting in March.

Are these and the proxy voting system the newest strategy by EC to assist BN to defend Putrajaya at all costs and win the 13th General Elections? By revealing as many 30 proposed changes without first discussing with opposition parties indicates that the EC wants to surprise and handicap PR who may not have the time, manpower and resources to cope with the latest changes. How then can EC by trusted as a credible body that is free, fair, neutral and independent in conducting elections?

Without proper consultation and feedback from both the public and PR the latest strategy which may well cripple or even strike a possibly fatal blow to PR general election campaign and hopes of victory. Tan Sri Abdul Aziz’s explanation that the proxy voting system was aimed at enabling those who were unable to be present on polling days to have their votes cast by approved proxies, would be open to abuse and encourage vote-buying. If EC is sincere, why then did EC not sanction Malaysians living overseas to register and vote in our foreign missions?

DAP vehemently opposes and condemns proxy voting which will only open up another avenue of abuse for the well-equipped BN to exploit. Based on BN’s abysmal record of perverting the clean conduct of the electoral process and EC atrocious failure to monitor and ensure compliance, there are serious concerns that proxy voting will only serve to “legitimatise” the practice of employing phantom voters.

When proxy voting is permitted, we can neither be sure that the proxies are genuine or that the voters they purport to represent are genuine. Further, proxy voting can only encourage vote-buying. BN already enjoys overwhelming advantage in 3Ms – Money politics, Media control and misuse of government Machinery. Allowing proxy voting will only add on to BN’s arsenal of weapons against PR to defend Putra Jaya at all costs.

The public has no confidence that PR will ensure that there will be no abuses in the proxy voting system when the EC has systematically rejected complaints of 3Ms, malpractices in postal voting, refusal to allow automatic registration of voters and permitting Malaysians overseas to register and vote. DAP will direct our top party leaders National Vice-Chair YB Tan Kok Wai and DAPSY chief YB Anthony Loke to meet with the EC to register our objections in the strongest possible terms.

DAP leaders are also reminded to be wary and monitor closely the possibility that the EC will conduct a constituency redelinenation exercise under Article 113 of the Federal Constitution. In a possible “gerrymandering” exercise, EC will redraw all parliamentary and state constituencies in favour BN to the detriment of PR. In such a scenario, PR would have lost even before the contest begin because the constituencies would be like a “loaded” dice.

Even though BN has lost its two-thirds majority in Parliament, there is a likelihood that the constituency redelineation exercise would still proceed. EC would argue that such a constituency redelineation exercise is valid under Article 113 and there is a no need for a constitutional amendment as the exercise does not involve an increase in the number of seats, only the boundaries. However PR would vigorously oppose such interpretation to prevent EC from “loading the dice” to favour BN.

DAP is appalled with MCM’s decision to prosecute a blogger for a satirical blog post.

DAP is appalled with Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) decision to prosecute a blogger for a satirical blog post.

The government’s action to charge Irwan Abdul Rahman, known as blogger “Hassan Skodeng”, in court for his satirical writing is not only harsh but ridiculous. Does this mean a satire or a joke is now illegal in Malaysia? What has become of our country?

Have we forgotten about our great satirist Ishak Haji Muhammad, better known as Pak Sako, whose great works such as “Putera Gunung Tahan” and “Anak Mat Lela Gila” had managed to rile up the spirit of nationalism among the Malays and Malayans against the British colonial masters during the fight for Independence?

Utusan Malaysia Should Withdraw And Apologise For Cheating Malaysians With Their False Reports On A Big Civil War In Malaysia Bigger Than The 1969 May 13 Racial Riots.

Utusan Malaysia should withdraw and apologise for cheating Malaysians with their false reports of a big civil war in Malaysia bigger than the 1969 May 13 racial riots. This threat of a bigger war that May 13 was in a special column by Penolong Ketua Pengarang I of Kumpulan Utusan Malaysia, Datuk Zaini Hassan , entitled “Benar ‘perang besar’ boleh berlaku di Malaysia”.

No proof had been offered of who was pushing for a new constitution or what were its contents. Utusan only referred to Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria’s claim that three copies of the “new” Federal Constitution were given to him during a ceramah in Alor Setar.

DAP Leaders Must Be Careful Not To Fall Into BN’s Trap Of Using The UMNO-MCA “Sandiwara” Quarrel As An Excuse To Apply The ISA Powers Of Detention Without Trial As Happened During Operasi Lallang In 1987.

DAP leaders must be careful not to fall into BN’s trap of using the UMNO-MCA “sandiwara” quarrel as an excuse to exercise the Internal Security Act(ISA) powers of detention without trial. This “sandiwara” quarrel is a chilling reprise of the events during 1987 when then Deputy President Datuk Lee Kim Sai had a media war with then UMNO Youth President Datuk Najib Tun Razak.

This verbal media war between MCA and UMNO was then used a pretext by BN to initiate Operasi Lallang. However instead of detaining both UMNO and MCA leaders involved, DAP, PAS and PSM leaders were detained. Only Datuk Lee was asked to go on holiday to Australia.
