Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 6.7.2013
There should be an immediate release and restoration of democratically elected Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi. The forcible removal of the democratically elected President is a naked coup d’etat by the military that violates the popular will of the majority of Egyptians who had given Morsi a popular mandate of 52% in free elections last year.
DAP expresses surprise that so-called defenders of democracy like Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, not only justifies the military coup d’etat but warns that change is dangerous and brings about instability as well as affect economic progress. Democracy is the best form of government to prevent corruption and violation of basic human rights. Economic prosperity and reducing income inequality can only be achieved by ensuring increasing transparency, accountability and competency as well freedom instead of choosing cronies, practicing nepotism and oppression.
In the choice between the bullet and the ballot, it remains to be seen whether Najib’s confidence that Egypt’s economic problems will be solved by the end of democracy and citizens participation in decision-making by the unelected military.
Sarawak Chief Minister Chief Minister Tan Sri Taib Mahmud Must Explain The Reason For Barring Clare Rewcastle Brown From Entering Sarawak Or Else Confirm Suspicions That He Has Everything To Hide About The Corruption Allegations Against Him and His Family.
Sarawak Chief Minister Chief Minister Tan Sri Taib Mahmud must explain the reason for barring Clare Rewcastle Brown, the sister in law of a former British Prime Minister, from entering Sarawak or else confirm suspicions that he has everything to hide about the corruption allegations against him and his family. DAP is shocked that Taib Mahmud is abusing his powers of immigration for personal reasons by preventing an opponent from entering the state to expose financial improprieties.
I have met Rewcastle Brown in London and she struck me as a conscientious defender of justice, right over wrong and freedom of choice. She has an abiding love for Sarawak because she was born and had lived in the state. Instead of appreciating Rewcastle for this unusual passion for Sarawak, she is now being victimised because she dared to stand up for justice and integrity against the Sarawak Chief Minister. The former BBC journalist is the founder of the influential blog, Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak, which are both critical of the chief minister.
Taib must understand that his actions, born out of personal vendetta against Rewcastle, will not only put Sarawak but also Malaysia in bad light. If Taib has nothing to hide, then he should come clean and answer the evidence systematically put up by Rewcastle of the natural resources in a beautiful state that is repeatedly “robbed” by the cronies of Taib Mahmud.

即刻释放及让民主民选的埃及总统穆尔希复职。
即刻释放及让民主民选的埃及总统穆尔希复职。如此赤裸裸的以军事政变，暴力褫夺民主民选领袖，有违多数人民意愿，因为穆尔希是在去年的自由选举中获得52%的选民支持。
行动党对于所谓民主捍卫者的首相纳吉，不只合理化了这次军事政变，而且还警告要求改变是危险的行为，将会导致不稳定及影响经济发展。要知道，民主是组成政府的最佳方式，民主是能避免贪污及暴力的基本人权。唯有不断的更透明、更公信问责、更能干，才能真正确保经济繁荣及减少收入不平等，而不是选择朋党、裙带关系及压迫。
纳吉必选在子弹与选票之间做选择，他到底是不是有信心埃及的经济问题将会在军事武力终结民主及人民决策之际获得解决。
砂拉越首席部长丹斯里泰益必须解释为何禁止克莱尔R布朗入境砂拉越，否则这将证明他及他家族贪污的嫌疑。
砂拉越首席部长丹斯里泰益必须解释为何禁止英国前首相布朗胞妹克莱尔R布朗入境砂拉越，否则这将证明他及他家族贪污的嫌疑。民主行动党震惊泰益基于个人理由滥用他砂州移民厅的权力阻止政敌入境揭发金融丑行。
我在伦敦的时候会见了克莱尔，我惊见她那凭着良心捍卫正义、择善除恶及崇尚自由的决心。她深爱砂拉越因为她曾在那边出世及成长。但克莱尔对砂拉越的热爱并没有获得回报，反而因为她勇于为了正义与廉洁对抗砂州首长而成为受害者。这位前BBC新闻从业员是极具影响力的反砂州首长《砂拉越报告》部落格及《自由砂拉越电台》的创办人。
泰益要知道他的所作所为根本是基于对克莱尔的个人恩怨，这不只将让砂拉越难堪，甚至是对马来西亚很不利。 若泰益真的没什么好隐藏，他就必须针对克莱尔指证历历泰益朋党一而再大肆掠夺砂州美丽的天然资源，一件件做出说明与回答。
