you am really excited to hear which you have been starting to have an additional Bersih convene during a finish of this month. As expected, a Election Commission has incited down a demands to use a little electoral reforms prior to a subsequent ubiquitous election, which will be Malaysia's 13th as well as is due soon.
We have since EC some-more than enough time 9 months to be exact as well as many of a reforms asked for by Bersih 2.0, a giveaway as well as satisfactory polls movement, do not need to go by Parliament for approval.
Good, right away you have a stream reason to come out to a streets again as well as use a constitutional rights collectively as grown Malaysian adults of all creeds as well as ethnicity. It is great to reason coexisting rallies in all vital towns in a nation upon a same day, not only in Kuala Lumpur alone. Do it additionally in Penang, Ipoh, Johor Baru or Kota Kinabalu, only to show a incumbent government which you wish electoral reforms. We have been critical about electoral reforms!
Malaysians residing overseas will additionally be pitching in during rallies in their places of reside, only like what they did for Bersih 2.0. Let a voice of Bersih Malaysia or Clean up Malaysia reverberate from New York to Sydney!
Our former prime minister said rallies have been not part of Malaysian culture. Of march you have proven him wrong a couple of times as well as he contingency be foaming during a mouth right now. Look during a interests as well as intensities generated by Bersih 1.0, Hindraf, Bersih 2.0 as well as a new Himpunan Hijau 2.0. Thousand! s as wel l as thousands of Malaysians poured onto a streets of Kuala Lumpur as well as Kuantan despite threats from a police. In a end, a total world saw what happened during those rallies interjection to Al Jazeera as well as CNN. That is a energy of complicated communications as well as a Internet!
Many people, especially those from a comparison generation, still harbor a little fear of reprisals. Auntie Bersih altered all which by entrance out for Bersih 2.0 upon Jul 9, 2011. She was dripping from head to toe by poison water yet she walked on. We additionally have Pak Samad - an octagenarian- who walked all a way to a King's house to hand over Bersih's chit yet was incited away.
Of march there have been a little who do not wish to stone a boat. They already have a roof over their heads, a nice car to drive around, three block dishes a day as well as comfortable jobs. In a finish they chose to stay during home to relax or go selling as well as let others do a battle for them even yet they have been equally affected by a bad governance of a benefaction complement of administration in a single way or another.
Corruption is getting prevalent in all spheres of a each day lives, racial as well as eremite tensions have been reaching boiling point, a open institutions have been crumbling a single by one, oil price increases, toll rate rises, utilities rate hikes greatfully do not tell me you guys have been not affected!
Come upon folks, do not be so selfish as well as timid, times have changed. Rallies, once taboo in prior decades, have increasingly become a trend now, especially between a younger Malaysians. Today you have been wiser as well as braver in voicing out a unhappiness. Show a authorities which you wish a clean as well as satisfactory election. Why experience in a ubiquitous choosing which everybody know is tainted?
If you do not wish to see Indonesians, Filipinos, Burmese, Vietnamese, Bangladeshis as well as China nationals queuing alongside wi! th us up on polling day as well as masquerading themselves as Malaysians voters, come out as well as join us upon a streets! Do not only lay during home as well as complain. This won't get you anywhere.
So see you upon Apr twenty-eight during 2pm. It's a Saturday.
you had longed for Bersih 2.0 because my child was ill which day yet this time, you will not miss it for anything. My yellow Bersih T-shirt is ready as well as so as well have been my walking shoes. Despite being discouraged by friends who fear for my safety (it seems a woman should not experience in rallies yet stay during home or so they say, you am starting forward with my plans to walk.
you am not intimidated by rip gas, poison water or troops batons. Chase us, frighten us, mist us, flog us if you contingency yet you am starting to travel on. And you know just because you am starting to do it. It is for my young kids as well as their children. They deserve a improved Malaysia if you do not action now, when? If you do not action for them - who will?
So let's make a date upon Apr 28. Let's tone a dear nation yellow again!
Here have been a eight demands of Bersih 2.0 to refresh us lest you forget:-
1. Clean a electoral roll
The electoral hurl is marred with irregularities such as defunct persons as well as mixed persons registered underneath a single address or non-existent addresses. The electoral hurl contingency be revised as well as updated to clean out these 'phantom voters'. The rakyat have a right to an electoral hurl which is an correct thoughtfulness of a choosing by casting votes population.
In a longer term, BERSIH 2.0 additionally calls for a EC to use an programmed voter registration complement upon eligibility to revoke irregularities.
2. Reform postal ballot
The stream postal list complement contingency be reformed to ensure which ! all adul ts of Malaysia have been means to use their right to vote. Postal list should not only be open for all Malaysian adults living abroad, yet additionally for those inside of a nation who cannot be physically benefaction in their choosing by casting votes constituency upon polling day. Police, troops as well as polite servants as well contingency opinion normally like other electorate if not upon avocation upon polling day.
The postal list complement contingency be transparent. Party agents should be authorised to monitor a entire process of postal voting.
3. Use of memorable ink
Indelible ink contingency be used in all elections. It is a simple, affordable as well as effective solution in preventing voter fraud. In 2007, a EC motionless to use a make use of of memorable ink. However, in a final days leading up to a 12th General Elections, a EC motionless to withdraw a make use of of memorable ink citing authorised reasons as well as rumors of sabotage.
BERSIH 2.0 demands for memorable ink to be used for all a arriving elections. Failure to do so will lead to a unavoidable finish which there is an intention to concede voter fraud.
4. Minimum 21 days debate period
The EC should outline a debate duration of not less than 21 days. A longer debate duration would concede electorate some-more time to gather report as well as counsel upon their choices. It will additionally concede candidates some-more time to disseminate report to farming areas. The first inhabitant elections in 1955 underneath a British Colonial Government had a debate duration of 42 days yet a debate duration for 12th GE in 2008 was a small 8 days.
5. Free as well as satisfactory access to media
It is no tip which a Malaysian mainstream media fails to use proportionate, satisfactory as well as objective reporting for domestic parties of all divide. BERSIH 2.0 ca! lls upon a EC to press for all media agencies, especially state-funded media agencies such as Radio as well as Television Malaysia (RTM) as well as Bernama to allot proportional as well as objective coverage for all domestic parties.
6. Strengthen open institutions
Public institutions contingency action exclusively as well as equally in upholding a order of law as well as democracy. Public institutions such as a Judiciary, Attorney-General, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC), Police as well as a EC contingency be reformed to action independently, defend laws as well as protect human rights.
In particular, a EC contingency perform its constitutional avocation to action exclusively as well as equally so as to enjoy open confidence. The EC cannot go on to claim which they have no energy to act, as a law provides for sufficient powers to institute a credible electoral system.
7. Stop corruption
Corruption is a mildew which has infected each aspect of Malaysian life. BERSIH 2.0 as well as a rakyat direct for an finish to all forms of corruption. Current efforts to exterminate crime have been small tokens to damp open grouses. We direct which critical action is taken opposite ALL allegations of corruption, including opinion buying.
8. Stop unwashed politics
Malaysians have been tired of unwashed politics which has been a main feature of a Malaysian domestic arena. We direct for all domestic parties as well as politicians to put an finish to passageway for liquid politics. As adults as well as voters, you have been not meddlesome in passageway for liquid politics; you have been meddlesome in policies which affect a nation.
