Aunty Bersih promises to show polls reform panel how to fix system

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 Annie Ooi Siew Lan, a late teacher dubbed "Aunty Bersih", challenged currently a polls examination panel's frankness to electoral remodel as well as vowed to show it her list of how to fix a complement in a next 7 days.

The slight, spare 65-year-old became an random idol when she was graphic battling chemical-laced H2O cannons as well as tear gas shot by a military into a locked-down capital city to join in a Bersih 2.0 march upon Jul 9 for cleaner elections.

She stunned a parliamentary name cabinet (PSC) currently with her forthright manner from a start when she demanded a "vote to be since to everyone twenty-one years aged as well as above."

To this, she cited as examples nurses, doctors, soldiers as well as policemen upon duty upon polling day.

"We do not want any some-more corruption," said a short-haired lady dressed in a dark yellow tip suggestive of a Bersih T-shirt she wore upon Jul 9. The bloc of 62 polite societies has adopted yellow as a colour.

The nine-man PSC appeared nonplussed by Ooi's statement.

Its chair, Kota Marudu MP Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili, explained which it was a panel's aim as well as asked her for suggestions, which appeared to annoy Ooi.

"There have been 8 demands out there. Loud as well as clear. I've no need to repeat them," she said, referring to Bersih 2.0's list of demands.

"Cakap joke tak dengar, ada yang dengar joke tak bertindak, apa lagi? Susahkah ini keadilan? [What's a point of speaking further, those who listen to do not act, what else is there? Is justice so difficult?]" she asked.

When Kangar MP Datuk Seri Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad ventured to reply which it was because those who qualified to opinion did not do so, Ooi shot back: "Why is it so hard? Why so prolonged as well as tough [to! registe r voters]?"

"You want solutions? Solutions to what?" she pushed a row to answer prior to promising to lapse in 7 days with her list of practical solutions to lift out electoral reform.

"If a ill can't go to a choosing by casting votes stations, can't you do something about it?" she asked, her voice rising as with her temper.

"I speak for a voiceless. What you're asking from me is solutions. I'm just a simple, simple, elementary person," she cried out, call Ongkili to plead with her to calm down.

Bersih 2.0 has been pushing a Election Commission to lift out 8 stairs they explain can be carried out rught away as well as will urge a electoral complement prior to a next inhabitant polls have been held, widely approaching to be called early next year.

They are:

1. To refurbish as well as remove passed voters from a electoral hurl as well as in a prolonged term, allow automatic voter registration during twenty-one years old.
