YB Chow Kon Yeow giving his opening speech
The Local Democracy month was orderly with the objective of encouraging people to be constructively active in the discussion, planning as well as implementation of policies as well as services in Penang as well as internal communities.
With the taking flight of this initiative, it is hoped that it will have Penangites some-more aware of the mechanism of internal supervision as well as increasing recognition of the roles as well as functions of the various arms as well as agencies of the state as well as Municipal government.
The organizers additionally hope that this will be an open channel for as many citizens, generally those marginalized groups, to be endangered as well as to share their ideas as well as practice about how to outcome certain shift for the shared future.
Many events have been programmed for the duration together with an anti-racism workshop, citizen preparation workshop, travel busking,a photography competition as well as the Youth Parliament.
The eventuality orderly by Penang State Government, Suaram (Penang branch), Sembang-Sembang Forum, Campus Ministry Office, Amnesty International Malaysia, KOMAS, People's Green Coalition as well as SERI-Penang Institute finished by 6.30p.m. as well as w! as follo marry by the "Penangites pacific public opposite the Peaceful Assembly bill" orderly by SUARAM.
When the "Penangites ! pacific public opposite the Peaceful Assembly bill" began, the reply from the throng was the clear indication of how most Penangites against this Bill even though there has been an proclamation about some amendments that would be tabled before to the discuss upon the Bill that will start Tuesday. Two speakers spoke during the pacific criticism - Datuk Dr. Toh Kin Woon as well as YB Jason Ong, PKR's Kebun Bunga assemblyman.

Both speakers spoke sexually about why the Bill should not be passed as well as the importance of the right to assemble. YB Jason Ong voiced concern that the brand new Bill would in reality, infringe upon the inherent rights to ! freedom of assembly
The throng resounding for the proposed Bill to be dropped.
The alternative supplies in the check that have been objectionable include:
- Proh! ibition of organisation of assemblies by persons next the age of twenty-one years.
- Prohibition of appearance in pacific assemblies of children next the age of 15 years.
- Unduly toilsome responsibilities as well as restrictions upon organisers as well as assemblies.
- Excessive fines for non-compliance of the bill.
The Bar Council's Walk for Freedom upon Tuesday will continue despite the concession from the supervision that it would consider reviewing the number of the supplies in the proposed Peaceful Assembly Bill. I honour the Bar Council for taking flight to the occasion to call the 14 000 clever members to impetus to the Parliament where the Bill will be debated.
As many rakyat should walk with the lawyers upon that chronological day!
Do review my post upon Malaysians, Arise as well as Claim Our Fundamental Rights to see how you can voice your conflict to this proposed Peaceful Assembly Bill that has caused polite multitude as well as endangered Malaysians to be up in arms opposite this Bill.
Batu PKR MP Tian Chua has even called upon BN component celebration Gerakan to stay loyal to the declaration as well as join their Pakatan Rakyat colleagues by taking the stand opposite the Public Assembly Bill.
It is needed that the authorities repel the Bill or refer it to the Parliamentary Select Committee to engage all stakeholders, the polite society, human rights groups as well as the political opposition in the suggestive conference as well as full engagement, as exhorted by MP Lim Kit Siang.
