Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 12.3.2014.<\/p>\n
Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail \u2013 A Moral Choice For Kajang, Selangor And Malaysia. In the last week, we have seen two convictions against leading PR leaders whom BN lost repeatedly in the ballot box. Opposition Leader and PR Chief Dato\u2019 Seri Anwar Ibrahim was handed a five-year jail sentence for sodomy or \u201ccarnal intercourse against the order of nature,\u201d while DAP National Chairman Karpal Singh, who also happens to be Anwar\u2019s lead defence counsel, was convicted for sedition and fined RM4,000 by the High Court. <\/p>\n Both convictions effectively mean that Anwar and Karpal would be disqualified as Members of Parliament. However, while their disqualification as MPs would be stayed pending appeal, both Anwar and Karpal are effectively ineligible to contest as candidates in elections, hence the need for Anwar\u2019s wife, Datin Seri Wan Azizah to stand for the Kajang by-election. <\/p>\n DAP strongly condemns in no uncertain terms the gross abuse of power and political witch-hunt by the Attorney-General\u2019s Chambers. The fact remains that in any other free and democratic country, both Anwar and Karpal\u2019s cases would not even have seen the light of day in court, considering the clear lack of evidence by the prosecution. In fact, Anwar and Karpal had previously been acquitted in both cases, before the AG\u2019s Chambers appealed. <\/p>\n In addition, the timing of the convictions and sentencing is also suspect, as they were brought forward and rushed in order to disrupt Anwar\u2019s plan to contest in the Kajang by-election. This lends further credence to the claim of political intimidation and has resulted in widespread condemnation and disparagement, both locally and internationally. <\/p>\n For example, the deputy director of Human Rights Watch in Asia, Phil Robertson, said that Anwar\u2019s trial \u201cwas all about knocking him (Anwar) out of politics and the government was prepared to do whatever it took to make that happen\u201d. Meanwhile, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) condemned Anwar\u2019s conviction as a miscarriage of justice, saying it \u201ccasts doubts on the independence and impartiality of the Malaysian judiciary and tarnishes the reputation of the country\u2019s legal system\u201d. The ICJ also commented on Karpal\u2019s conviction by saying that \u201cthe decision shows the government\u2019s lack of respect for the principles of free expression and is inconsistent with international law.\u201d <\/p>\n Locally, the cases have elicited strong condemnation by groups such as the Malaysian Bar, Suaram and Lawyers for Liberty, with the latter stating that the conviction reaffirmed \u201cthe return of iron-fist authoritarian rule and Najib Razak\u2019s false reformist credentials.\u201d Many have also pointed out the inconsistency of the government in using the archaic Sedition Act, which the Prime Minister Dato\u2019 Sri Najib himself promised to repeal. <\/p>\n The failure of the Prime Minister to fulfill his promise to repeal the much maligned Sedition Act and coupled with continued exploitation of the draconian laws to remove political opponents is ushering in a new period of repression and oppression. With many other PR and civil activist leaders due to face the courts on sedition and other charges, there is a real possibility that many more PR leaders will be convicted in the same manner.<\/p>\n As such, it is a moral imperative that Malaysians stand up and be counted to defend our fundamental constitutional rights of rule of law, justice for all and fairness without fear or favour. This makes the Kajang by-election a crucial test to decide whether justice is a victim of power or serves the ordinary citizens. It is no longer simply a by-election for a state seat in Selangor, but a battle for people\u2019s power for prosperity, stability and moral dignity against the injustice, intimidation and persecution by the BN government. <\/p>\n Therefore, the DAP calls on all Kajang voters as well as all Malaysians to support Kak Wan as the moral choice not only for Kajang voters but also for Selangor and Malaysia as well.<\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —-BM Version —<\/p>\n Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 12 Mac 2014.<\/p>\n Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail – Pilihan nurani untuk Kajang, Selangor dan Malaysia. Dalam minggu lalu sahaja, kita telah menyaksikan dua pendakwaan terhadap kepimpinan utama Pakatan Rakyat, yang telah sentiasa mengalahkan BN di peti undi. Ketua Pembangkang merangkap ketua Pakatan Rakyat telah dijatuhkan hukuman penjara lima tahun kerana kesalahan liwat, manakala Pengerusi Kebangsaan DAP Karpal Singh, yang kebetulan merupakan peguambela utama Datuk Seri Anwar, turut disabitkan dengan kesalahan menghasut dan dihukum denda RM4,000 oleh Mahkamah.<\/p>\n Kedua-dua pensabitan tersebut secara berkesan menyebabkan Anwar dan Karpal hilang kelayakan sebagai Ahli Parlimen. Pun begitu, meskipun penyingkiran keduanya sebagai Ahli Parlimen akan ditangguh sementara menanti rayuan, kedua-dua Anwar dan karpal hilang kelayakan untuk bertanding sebagai calon dalam pilihanraya, justeru menimbulkan keperluan untuk meletakkan isteri Datuk Seri Anwar, Datin Seri Wan Azizah sebagai calon dalam pilihanraya kecil Kajang.<\/p>\n DAP secara keras mengecam tanpa syarat terhadap salahguna kuasa dan pemangsaan politik oleh Jabatan Peguam Negara. Hakikatnya, dalam mana-mana negara yang bebas dan demokratik, kes Anwar dan Karpal tidak langsung akan dibawa ke mahkamah, berikutan kurangnya bukti di pihak pendakwaan. Malah, Anwar dan Karpal kedua-duanya telah dibebaskan dalam kedua-dua kes, sebelum rayuan Jabatan Peguam Negara.<\/p>\n Tambahan pula, aturan masa untuk penyabitan dan penghukuman juga turut menimbulkan syak, memandangkan ia telah diawalkan dan disegerakan demi mengganggu rencana Anwar untuk bertanding dalam PRK Kajang. Ini menguatkan dakwaan intimidasi politik dan telah mengundang kecaman serta hinaan dari dalam dan luar negara.<\/p>\n Contohnya, timbalan pengarah Human Rights Watch di Asia, Phil Robertson, telah berkata bahawa perbicaraan Anwar adalah demi menamatkan kerjaya politik beliau dan kerajaan bersedia melakukan apa sahaja untuk memastikan itu terjadi. Sementara itu, International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) mengutuk pensabitan Anwar sebagai kegagalan dalam melaksanakan keadilan, sambil mengatakan bahawa ia menimbulkan syak-wasangka terhadap kebebasan dan kesaksamaan badan kehakiman Malaysia serta mencemarkan reputasi sistem undang-undang negara. ICJ juga mengulas pensabitan Karpal dengan berkata bahawa keputusan tersebut menunjukkan kurangnya hormat kerajaan terhadap kebebasan bersuara dan ia tidak konsisten dengan undang-undang antarabangsa.<\/p>\n Di dalam negara, kes-kes ini telah mengundang kutukan hebat daripada oraganisasi seperti Majlis Peguam, Suaram dan Lawyers for Liberty, yang mengatakan bahawa pensabitan tersebut menguatkan kembalinya pentadbiran otoritarian dan kuku besi serta mendedahkan kelayakan palsu Najib Razak sebagai seorang reformis. Ramai yang turut menyebut tentang ketidaksekataan kerajaan dalam menggunakan Akta Hasutan yang sudah lapuk, yang Perdana Menteri Dato\u2019 Sri Najib sendiri telah berjanji untuk mansuhkan.<\/p>\n Kegagalan Perdana Menteri untuk menepati janji memansuhkan Akta hasutan beserta eksploitasi berterusan terhadap undang-undang lapuk demi menewaskan lawan-lawan politik sedang membawa kepada era baru penindasan. Dengan ramai lagi aktivis rakyat dan pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat menanti giliran untuk berdepan dengan mahkamah atas dakwaan hasutan dan lain-lain lagi, wujud kebarangkalian bahawa ramai lagi pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat yang akan disabitkan kesalahan dengan cara yang serupa.<\/p>\n Oleh yang demikian, adalah sangat mustahak bagi rakyat Malaysia untuk bangkit dan mempertahankan hak asasi yang dijamin Perlembagaan untuk kedaulatan undang-undang, keadilan buat semua dan kesaksamaan tanpa mengira batas. Ini menjadikan PRK Kajang satu ujian penting untuk memutuskan sama ada keadilan menjadi mangsa kekuasaan ataupun menjaga kepentingan rakyat biasa. Ia sudah bukan lagi sekadar satu pilihanraya kecil untuk satu kerusi DUN di Selangor, malah satu pertarungan hebat demi kuasa rakyat, kemakmuran, kestabilan dan maruah nurani menentang kezaliman, intimidasi dan penindasan oleh kerajaan BN. <\/p>\n Oleh itu, DAP menyeru semua pengundi Kajang serta seluruh rakyat Malaysia untuk menyokong Kak Wan sebagai pilihan nurani, bukan sahaja demi pengundi Kajang bahkan demi Selangor dan Malaysia. <\/p>\n LIM GUAN ENG<\/p>\n —–Mandarin Version —–<\/p>\n

\nHaving failed to beat Pakatan Rakyat through the ballot box in the 13th General Election, when the BN lost the popular vote to PR which obtained majority support with 51%, the BN government is pursuing political persecution to defeat PR leaders by dirty means. <\/p>\n
