EVIDENCE.Bag of postal votes found in Tebobon stream just after the 2008 elections. Until right away there has been no word from the police about this.
By : DANIEL JOHN JAMBUN
THE BN has the strong reason to fright the entrance Bersih rally. Never prior to has the BN been so frightened of the convene as this one, as well as for great reasons too.
The first reason is the actuality that the electoral hurl is actually very dirty, infested as well as soiled with the lot of creative handiworks of the BN. And everybody knows this. Even the Election Commission admits it, or else since would it wish to open the doors for talks with Bersih? The proofs of the choosing complement being manipulated have been many, as well as choosing rascal as well as irregularities have been ubiquitous knowledge in Malaysia.
Secondly, the 8-point list of demands by Bersih is causing the BN leaders to tremble since the prospect of having the purify electoral roll, the reformed postal list system, make make use of of of memorable ink, the minimum of twenty-one days debate period, the giveaway as well as fair entrance to media, the strengthened open institutions, the stoppage of crime as well as unwashed governing body would cause the BN to spin out of control.
BN knows it survives only by rascal as well as corruption. How mocking that the BN is right away caught in the own trap; all these years it had been talking about purify administration, honesty, noble qualities, pure governance as well as so forth, as well as out of the blue the rank as well as file have been demanding exactly that, as well as! it gets frightening since they have been lying as well as it is right away caught with the pants down.
BN knows it should be ancillary Bersih, joining the convene in orde! r to liv e up to the own claims. But no! The Bersih debate is frightful since the purify as well as honest choosing complement would spell the end of the BN rule. It would sound the death knell of half the century of permit to drain the people.
For BN the stakes have been as well high, as well as the mere thought of Putrajaya starting in to the hands of the antithesis is dreadfully unthinkable. The BN is, therefore, right away upon the psywar, regulating each trick in the book to demonise Bersih, together with the silly tactic of planting communist materials to try give the movement the negative image.
But how most people have been buying the lie? The BN is doing it since it knows it is running the tall risk of losing support if it uses force since that personality can forget how most BN lost since of the approach the supervision handled the peaceful Hindraf convene prior to to the 2008 ubiquitous election? And yet let us not discount the probability of an Ops Lalang type of crackdown prior to July 9.
In the meantime, some silly rationales have been being shoved down the throats during the moment. Datuk Herbert Timbun Lagadan is asking the antithesis assemblymen as well as parliamentarians to resign if the choosing in that they won were dirty. Herberts proof is inverted, it should be the alternative approach round!
It is the BN reps who should resign since they won by cheating as well as manipulations! The Deputy Prime Minister is observant if the elections were unwashed how come the antithesis managed to win so most some-more seats as well as PAS had managed to retain energy in Kelantan for twenty-one years?
This is an additional nonsense that seems logical, though is actually the mental manipulation! The actuality ! is, dear Tan Sri, the antithesis won all those states In Spite Of The Cheating by the BN.
The actuality is, the support for the antithesis were so great in those areas that even extreme cheating as well as manipulations by BN couldnt overcome the antithesis votes! Without the cheating, the antithesis would have take! n over P utrajaya since the long time ago! And this is what the BN is unequivocally frightened of.
How can the BN contend that the countrys choosing routine is purify as well as still keep the loyal face, when you have so most instances of clear, daylight frauds even in the new past? Have they forgotten about ballots boxes starting astray? How about the list box for Bukit Bintang that turned out to be filled up with zero though dry leaves?
Wikipedia reports that the allegedly subservient Election Commission had been concerned in gerrymandering, opinion fraud, agreeable media, misuse of supervision resources as well as large opinion buying [which] gave the National Front or Barisan Nasional an astray advantage. the electoral hurl has been suspect, since of the find that it contains scarcely 9,000 people elderly some-more than 100.
This lifted suspicions that the books have been infested with passed electorate that leaves the choosing exposed to fraud. Further discoveries of people who have been born in the same year possessing different identity cards (IC) as well as living in most different localities, were uncovered by Malaysians for Free as well as Fair Elections (Mafrel). These people have been registered to opinion in assorted places throughout the country.
These issues led to questions regarding the integrity of the elections. It was additionally highlighted by the Opposition that sure postal electorate were released with dual list sheets.
Activists from BERSIH contend any list was additionally trustworthy to the letter identifying the voter along with the choosing by casting votes! trip se quence number, so it would be easy to trace who voted for the opposition.
Electoral remodel activists said that the series of seats that the antithesis could win could be motionless by postal votes as well as that those casting postal votes do not have the freedom to choose the claimant they want.
Human Rights Watch, that had been monitoring the choosing process, stated that supervision restraints upon expression,! assembl y as well as entrance to state media would deny Malaysians the fair vote. Calling the electoral routine Grossly Unfair, Human Rights Watch called upon the supervision to address concerns with rascal in the electoral rolls, as well as to provide antithesis parties entrance to state media.
They have been cases of votes counted not tallying with the available votes. The box for the polling centre of Siong Tengah in Tamin is the perfect example. The polling centre had 236 registered voters, as well as upon counting, the BN claimant garnered 251 electorate while the PKR claimant perceived 53, giving the total opinion of 304, that was 68 some-more than the registered voters. If it was loyal that there was the audience of 73% of voters, as the Election Commissions announced, there should have only been 172 electorate that day! This was the transparent box in that haunt electorate played the part as well as this is not an removed case.
And note that the new Sarawak state ubiquitous choosing was considered the toughest ever for the BN since of only the single thing the sentiments opposite the BN was so strong that they BN was forced to spend the reported RM1.5 billion as well as during the choosing debate the total of Sarawak ran out of drink as well as stout!
The longhouse residents had merrymakings the likes of that they had never seen before, with giveaway food as well as drinks as well as cash. The unhappy thing about the total affair was that the RM10,000 cheques released as attractiveness to! the Pen ghulus bounced during the banks after the elections as well as were recollected!
During choosing campaigns you see the remarkable rise in supervision project allocations as well as announcements, the slew of handouts in the forms of water tanks, zinc sheets, scholarships for students, hampers for the bad as well as senior citizens, etc. that have been transparent cases of political corruption.
There would be loads of buses of haunt electorate from outward the district. There is additionally that famous trick of someone branch the physical phenomenon off during opinion counting, as well as in the darkness! , the vo te-count trays have been switched as well as the choosing by casting votes slips automatically greaten like exile virus. Or during the last minute an additional pouch of forgotten postal votes, that cannot be verified, have been brought in!
It is hapless that most people have forgotten that in July 2008, the high-security bag containing the sizable series of choosing by casting votes slips was discovered nearby the Tobobon stream in the constituency of Sepangar.
A similar box additionally happened in Tawau in 2004. These were highlighted in the newspapers, as well as reported to the police, though until right away zero has been listened about them again. Its no make make use of of resorting to the courts for pill in cases of electoral injustices as well as abuse of electoral routine since all know what the courts decisions will be.
And who doesnt know about the intimidation as well as fright used in the campaigns, such as threatening relatives about losing their childrens scholarships as well as jobs? And what purify elections have been you talking about when the supervision has comprehensive corner of the peoples community halls (which should be for giveaway make make use of of by each Malaysian), as well as the abuse of supervision machineries as well as vehicles?
There has addit! ionally been cases of armies nearing by the truckloads, or nonessential roadblocks prior to or upon polling day as ways to warning the people in to choosing by casting votes for the BN.
Fraud, manipulation, intimidation, opinion buying, as well as all alternative sorts of criminal ways to win elections have been used by the BN. It is tall time for such the convene planned by Bersih to be held to express the frustration, generally for Sabah that has turn the tact belligerent for haunt electorate in the form of illegal immigrants who were purposefully since the ICs to vote. So purify electoral rolls, purify choosing process? My foot!
