| Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara keluarkan mycard untuk ALIEN lantas SPR sambut Posted: 01 May 2013 07:44 PM PDT |
| Analisa Dr Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar, | 02 Mei 2013 |
Kekeliruan terhadap tindak tanduk Pengerusi SPR yang umumkan dakwat kekal 7 hari dan sebelum itu 5 hari tetapi pihak pasukan keselamatan dan isteri masing masing dapat membasuh dakwat yang dikatakan kekal dan ini membuka pada pra sangka rakyat yang undi lebih dari sekali masih boleh berlaku.
Namun beberapa hari lepas itu, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim mendedahkan di Kinitv (gambar) dan pelbagai media lain juga bukti-bukti bergambar rumah kedai yang dikatakan Pengerusi SPR sebagai gudang itu kelihatan seperti lokasi penagih dadah ataupun rumah kedai tempat jin bertendang yang mana ia kelihatan amat using, buruk dan lama di tinggalkan. 
Jadi, amatlah patut SPR menggunakan budibicara untuk mempertikaikan status mykad berkenaan walaupun asli dan seterusnya tidak membenarkan mereka mereka yang berwajah Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Myammar dsbnya mengundi. 
Jika JPN perlu berada di setiap lokasi mengundi, maka wujudkan meja JPN. Tidak semua pegawai JPN akan menyokong sebarang pemalsuan kerakyatan sekalipun zahirnya mykad itu asli.
(Wan Ahmad Timbalan Pengerusi SPR memegang akhbar Harakah yang dengan tepat melaporkan dimuka belakang,"Wan Ahmad Tak Boleh DiPercayai")
Penjelasan tidak dibenarkan ada bersama didalam pesawat, helicopter dan bot bot ini saya perolehi setelah berbincang dengan 3 pegawai SPR Putrajaya pada hari penamaan calon pada 20hb April 2013 dan pegawai yang menjawap soalan saya adalah dipercayai ketua kepada dua lagi pegawai SPR di Putrajaya memandangkan hanya pegawai berkenaan diizin menjawap isu yang dikemukakan ini.
(Bahagian depan t shirt yang agak kreatif)
Sekiranya terdapat sebarang perkara yang rakyat tidak puas hati, laporkan sahaja pada Pengurus Pilihanraya lokasi berkenaan, juga buat laporan polis dan hebahkan pada media media PR serta secara terus dalam talian kepada pelbagai media terkemuka antarabangsa agar sebarang isu salahlaku tidak dapat ditutup lagi.Are You Ready For Debate?.....No...No....No

Sungguh beruntung warga Selat Klang kerana kini memiliki dua perpustakaan, satu di Flet Sri Perantau dan yang terbaru di Sungai Udang. Terima kasih kepada kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Selangor dan Perbadanan Perpustakaan Awam Negeri Selangor (PPAS) yang begitu prihatin dengan kepentingan ilmu serta membina prasarana yang memudahkan budaya ilmu, mencegah budaya tidak sihat dan sekaligus membina tamaddun umat.
"Kita bina bangunan ini multifungsi sebab kita tidak mahu konsep perpustakaan uzur macam sebelum ini, kalau kita buat macam itu orang lalu pun tidak mahu masuk," katanya dalam ucapannya dalam majlis perasmian PPAS itu.| You are subscribed to email updates from N45 Dr Halimah Ali To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |

Lim Guan Eng |
| Posted: 01 May 2013 08:47 AM PDT Press Statement By Penang Pakatan Rakyat Chair And Caretaker Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Penang On 1.5.2013. Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Disrespectful To Existing 4,000 Families, Desperate In Making New Empty Election Promises And Dishonest In Repeating Unfulfilled Recycled Promises That The Federal Government Will Build 9,999 Units Of Low And Medium-Cost Apartments In Air Putih, Air Itam And Paya Terubong. The Penang state government is shocked at Najib's announcement that through the 1Malaysia Development Berhad, he had signed land purchase agreements for Air Putih, Ayer Itam and Paya Terubong to each get 2,222 low-medium cost homes and 1,111 affordable homes. By not informing first the 4,000 families in the affected areas who have to be evicted, Najib is being disrespectful to them and is willing to sacrifice the homes shared by 4,000 families just to gain political mileage. Why is BN and Najib behaving in such a harsh manner by not consulting with the 4,000 families but just want to bulldoze their homes with an announcement made without their knowledge? Clearly Najib is desperate to make new empty promises of 9,999 affordable homes, a promise without value as they are made just before the general elections. Indeed Najib's promise of 9,999 affordable housing in Air Putih, Air Itam and Paya Terubong is not even included in the BN National Manifesto launched by Najib. This new promise has been exposed as a lie because if this is to be built by the BN Federal government, then why is this promise not included in the BN National Manifesto? Najib is also dishonest when he promised that those those living in the 962 one-bedroom houses in Kampung Melayu will be given three-bedroom homes in the Air Itam affordable homes scheme. This is another unfulfilled promise by BN that has been recycled at every general election, the last occasion done by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop in 2008, that has never been delivered. As for the Padang Tembak flats, Najib's promise of using the existing FRU land joined with the current flats to jointly deliver 4,800 new low and medium cost homes raises issues whether existing residents will be chased out, especially tenants. Further the issue of traffic congestion has not been dealt with. In an already heavily congested area with high density how is the Federal government going to build new highways to overcome traffic jams with the increased density from nearly 15,000 new homes. BN has always criticized the state government for ignoring traffic congestion from housing projects, including the 22,172 units of affordable housing proposed by the PR state government. However BN has chosen to remain silent without stating what are the highways they propose to build when there is going to be a massive traffic jam of gargantuan proportions in the Air Putih, Paya Terubong and Air Itam from these new 15,000 houses. PR challenges Najib to deliver on BN's promises especially the monorail project promised in 2006. Despite the failure of BN to fulfill the promise made in 2006,Najib has the cheek yesterday to repeat or recycle this unfulfilled promise of building the monorail again. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi failed to deliver the promise when he was Prime Minister and Datuk Seri Najib failed again to deliver after he took over from Pak Lah. Clearly the monorail or tram will only be built in Penang when Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim becomes the new Prime Minister for Malaysia on 5 May 2013. Lim Guan Eng —-BM Version —- Kenyataan Media oleh Pengerusi Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang dan Ketua Menteri Sementara Pulau Pinang di George Town pada 1 Mei 2013. Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Menghina 4,000 Keluarga Sedia Ada, Dalam Keterdesakan Membuat Janji Kosong Pilihanraya Dan Secara Tidak Jujur Mengulang Janji Kitar Semula Kononnya Kerajaan Persekutuan Akan Membina 9,999 Unit Rumah Kos Rendah Dan Sederhana Di Air Putih, Air Itam Dan Paya Terubong. Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang amat terkejut dengan pengumuman Najib kononnya melalui 1Malaysia Development Berhad, beliau telah menandatangani perjanjian beli tanah di Air Putih, Ayer Itam dan Paya Terubong bagi membina 2,222 rumah kos rendah dan sederhana serta 1,111 rumah mampu milik. Tanpa memaklumkan 4,000 keluarga yang terlibat dan bakal dihalau dari tempat tersebut, Najib telah mengina mereka kerana sanggup mengorbankan perumahan yang dikongsi 4,000 keluarga hanya kerana tujuan politik. Mengapakah BN dan Najib berperangai buruk sebegitu dengan tidak berunding dahulu dengan 4,000 keluarga tetapi hanya terus mahu meranapkan rumah mereka dengan satu pengumuman sahaja tanpa memaklumkan mereka? Jelas sekali Najib sangat terdesak untuk membuat janji-janji kosong untuk membina 9,999 rumah mampu milik, satu janji yang tidak bernilai kerana ia dibuat betul-betul sebelum pilihanraya. Sesungguhnya janji Najib untuk membina 9,999 rumah mampu milik di Air Putih, Ayer Itam dan Paya Terubong tidak pun termasuk dalam manifesto BN yang dilancarkan oleh Najib sendiri. Janji baru ini nyata sebuah penipuan kerana jika rumah ini akan dibina oleh kerajaan persekutuan BN, kenapa janji ini tidak dimasukkan dalam manifesto nasional BN? Najib juga tidak jujur apabila berjanji bahawa mereka yang tinggal di 962 rumah satu bilik di Kampung Melayu akan diberi rumah tiga bilik di dalam skim rumah mampu milik di Ayer Itam. Ini satu lagi janji kosong BN yang terus dikitar semula dalam setiap pilihanraya umum; yang kali terakhir dilakukan oleh Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Nor Mohamad Yakcop pada tahun 2008 dan tidak pernah ditunaikan. Bagi rumah pangsa Padang Tembak, janji Najib untuk menggunakan tanah FRU digabungkan dengan kawasan rumah pangsa sedia ada untuk membina 4,800 rumah kos rendah dan sederhana membangkitkan persoalan sama ada penduduk sedia ada akan dihalau keluar, terutamanya yang menyewa. Malah, isu kesesakan lalulintas juga masih tidak diselesaikan. Dalam sebuah kawasan yang sesak dengan kepadatan tinggi, bagaimana Kerajaan Persekutuan akan membina lebuhraya baru bagi mengatasi kesesakan jalanraya dengan kepadatan yang bertambah disebabkan 15,000 rumah baru. BN selalu mengkritik kerajaan negeri kononnya mengabaikan kesesakan lalulintas disebabkan projek perumahan, termasuk 22,172 unit rumah mampu milik yang dicadangkan oleh kerajaan negeri Pakatan Rakyat. Namun BN telah memilih untuk berdiam diri tanpa menyatakan lebuhraya apa yang ia akan bina apabila terjadinya kesesakan jalanraya yang amat teruk di Air Putih, Paya Terubong dan Ayer Itam hasil daripada 15,000 rumah baru ini? Pakatan Rakyat mencabar Najib untuk melaksanakan janji BN, terutamanya projek monorail yang dijanjikan dalam tahun 2006. Walaupun BN gagal melaksanakan janjinya dalam tahun 2006, Najib masih tidak segan untuk mengulangi janji kitar semula untuk membina monorail tersebut sekali lagi. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi telah gagal melaksanakan janji tersebut ketika beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri, dan Datuk Seri Najib juga gagal melakukannya selepas mengambil alih daripada Pak Lah. Jelaslah bahawa monorail atau tram hanya akan diwujudkan di Pulau Pinang apabila Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim menjadi Perdana Menteri yang baru pada 5 Mei 2013. —–mandarin version —- 槟州民联主席兼槟州看守政府首席部长林冠英于2013年5月1日在槟城发表的声明: 拿督斯里纳吉敦拉萨承诺联邦政府将在亚逸布爹、亚依淡及垄尾兴建9999单位的中廉价屋，是不诚实地重复和再循环联邦政府没有实践的承诺，丝豪不尊重现有的4000个家庭，更为了赢得大选，不惜垂死挣扎，作出空头承诺。 看守政府首相拿督斯里纳吉敦拉萨承诺联邦政府将在三个州选区，也即是亚逸布爹、亚依淡及垄尾兴建9999单位的中廉价屋，是不诚实地重复和再循环联邦政府没有实践的承诺，丝豪不尊重现有的4000个家庭，更为了赢得大选，不惜垂死挣扎，作出空头承诺。 槟州政府对纳吉宣布透过一个马来西亚发展公司，签署了在亚逸布爹、亚依淡及垄尾的土地买卖合约，以在各区兴建2222单位中廉价屋及1111单位可负担房屋一事，感到震惊。在没事先知会现有地段4000户家庭或遭逼迁的事实下，纳吉此举不只不尊重这4000户家庭，更不惜为了捞取选票的政治利益而牺牲这4000户人家的家园。为何国阵及纳吉在宣布计划之前，不只没有事先咨询现有的4000户家庭，更在没有知会他们家园将被铲平的情况下，就以如斯恶劣的方式率先作出宣布？ 很明显的，纳吉不惜垂死挣扎，作出新的空头承诺，也即是兴建9999单位的可负担房屋。这是没有价值的承诺，因为这些承诺是在大选前夕才贸然许下。事实上，纳吉所承诺在亚逸布爹、亚依淡及垄尾承建的9999单位可负担房屋，根本就没有纳入他亲自推介的国阵全国竞选宣言内。这个新承诺经已被揭发实为一大谎言，因为若这些房屋将由联邦国阵政府所兴建的话，为何这项承诺却没有被纳入国阵的全国竞选宣言内？ 纳吉承诺，那些住在柑榜马来由一房组屋的962户人家，将会在亚依淡可负担房屋计划下获得一间三房的单位。这更是纳吉的不诚实之处。这根本就是国阵另一项尚未实现的承诺，这是一项每逢大选就被拿出来再循环使用的承诺。上一次的相同承诺，是由首相署部长丹斯里诺莫哈末在2008年作出的。截至目前为止，此诺言还没有实践。 至于打枪埔组屋，纳吉承诺在该处的后备军营地，结合现有的组屋地段，兴建4800个新的中廉价屋单位一事， 引发了原有住户，特别是租户将被驱走的问题。而且交通阻塞的问题也没有获得正视。在这个已经严重交通拥挤的高密度区域，联邦政府在新增了逾1万5000个新单位的密度之后，要如何兴建高速公路来解决交通阻塞问题呢？ 国阵常常抨击槟州民联政府在房屋发展计划，包括民联建议兴建2万2172单位可负担房屋的同时，忽略房屋发展计划引致的交通阻塞问题。然而，在亚逸布爹、亚依淡及垄尾兴建1万5千间房屋将引起庞大比例的交通阻塞课题上，国阵却选择保持沉默，没有列出任何兴建大道的建议。 民联挑战纳吉先落实国阵早前许下的承诺，包括2006年承诺要送槟城的单轨轻快铁计划。尽管国阵无法实践他们早在2006年就许下的承诺，纳吉昨天依然厚脸皮地重复或者是再循环国阵尚未实践的承诺—也即是兴建单轨轻快铁。敦阿都拉阿末巴达威在担任首相时都没有办法落实这项承诺，而拿督斯里纳吉在从阿都拉手中接过首相棒子之后，也一样无法落实这项承诺。很明显的，单轨轻快铁或电车只有在拿督斯里安华依不拉欣在2013年5月5日 当上马来西亚新首相后，才有望落实了。 林冠英 |
| 2013 May Day Message (en/bm/cn) Posted: 01 May 2013 08:51 AM PDT 2013 May Day Message by DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 1.5.2013. Prioritising Malaysian Workers With A RM 1,100 Monthly Minimum Wage As A Step Towards Achieving Our Target Of A Minimum Household Income Of RM4,000 in 5 Years. According to Bank Negara's Annual Report 2012, Malaysia's household debt stood at RM 755 billion or 81% of our GDP (Gross Domestic Product),making us one of the most indebted nations in Asia. In fact, the estimated rate of growth of household loans in Malaysia stands at 11%, which is higher than our country's estimated nominal GDP growth of 7.8%. In addition, Malaysian household debt service ratio nears 50%, which means that on average, half of all household income goes to repaying debts. This means that after paying off its loans, Malaysian families have very little left over to spend on food, transport, education and other necessities. Pakatan Rakyat's minimum wage of RM1,100 a month, including allowances and cost of living but excluding overtime is necessary to enable all Malaysians to escape from poverty. DAP can not understand why BN has set the minimum monthly wage of only RM 900 a month, which is lower than the Poverty Line Indicator of RM763 for Peninsular Malaysia, RM1,048 for Sabah and RM912 for Sarawak. A RM1,100 minimum monthly wage will enable Malaysians not only to escape poverty but live with dignity. PR's minimum wage policy will not favour foreigners over locals, as our minimum wage of RM 1,100 a month will initially be applicable only to local workers only. This will ensure that Malaysians are prioritised, while at the same time not unduly burden local SMEs. This approach is different from the BN approach of extending their RM900 minimum monthly wage to all foreign workers as PR believes that we should put Malaysian workers first. At the same time, minimum wage cannot be implemented in isolation. This is why PR proposes that the minimum wage policy be implemented together with other measures such as a RM2 billion minimum wage facilitation fund, financial grants for upskilling of workers as well as automation incentives for SMEs. In addition, there should also be structural reform in the economy in order to create higher productivity jobs and increase the participation of women in the workforce. In other words, the drive towards a high income economy must be holistic and inclusive of efforts to build and cultivate our human talent. Only then can we achieve our targeted average minimum household income of RM4,000 after 5 years at the end of PR first term. The choice facing Malaysians in this 13th General Election is now clear. We can either choose to continue in our downward spiral of debt and risk becoming a bankrupt nation, or we can vote for change for a Pakatan Rakyat government which will prioritise local workers above foreigners with a minimum wage policy of RM1,100 as a step towards achieving our targeted minimum household income of RM4,000 in the first 5 years of a PR Federal government. LIM GUAN ENG —-BM Version —- Mengutamakan Golongan Pekerja Malaysia Dengan Gaji Minima RM1,100 Satu Langkah Menuju Sasaran Pendapatan Isi Rumah Minima RM4,000 Dalam Masa Lima Tahun. Sambil pekerja seluruh Malaysia menyambut Hari Pekerja 2013, Negara sangat perlu berubah demi menyelesaikan masalah hutang menggunung yang dihadapi setiap satu keluarga di Negara ini. Menurut laporan tahunan Bank Negara bagi tahun 2012, hutang isi rumah Malaysia berada pada jumlah RM 755 bilion atau 81% daripada KDNK menjadikan kita salah satu daripada negara paling banyak berhutang di rantau Asia. Malahan, unjuran kadar pertumbuhan hutang isi rumah di Malaysia berada pada kadar 11%, yang lebih tinggi daripada kadar terendah pertumbuhan KDNK pada 7.8%. Tambahan kepada itu, nisbah pembayaran hutang isi rumah di Malaysia menghampiri 50%, bermakna secara purata, separuh dari pendapatan isi rumah adalah untuk membayar hutang. Ini bermakna, selepas habis membayar hutang, keluarga di Malaysia tidak mempunyai jumlah yang banyak untuk dibelanjakan bagi makanan, pengangkutan, pendidikan dan keperluan lain. Gaji minima RM1,100 sebulan oleh Pakatan Rakyat, termasuk elaun dan sara hidup namun tidak termasuk gaji lebih masa adalah sangat diperlukan bagi membolehkan semua rakyat Malaysia bebas dari belenggu kemiskinan. DAP tidak faham bagaimana BN boleh sanggup meletakkan tahap gaji minima bulanan kepada RM900 sahaja, yang lebih rendah dari petunjuk garis kemiskinan iaitu sebanyak RM763 bagi Semenanjung Malaysia, RM1,048 di Sabah dan RM912 di Sarawak. Gaji minima RM1,100 akan membolehkan rakyat Malaysia untuk bukan sahaja bebas dari kemiskinan malah dapat hidup dengan lebih bermaruah. Polisi gaji minima Pakatan Rakyat tidak akan melebihkan orang asing daripada rakyat tempatan, kerana gaji minima kita pada awalnya hanya akan melibatkan pekerja tempatan sahaja. Ini akan memastikan rakyat Malaysia diberi keutamaan, dan pada masa yang sama tidak membebankan perusahaan kecil dan sederhana. Pendekatan ini adalah berbeza dengan BN yang memberikan gaji minima RM900 mereka untuk semua pekerja asing; kerana Pakatan Rakyat percaya bahawa kita mesti mengutamakan pekerja rakyat Malaysia. Pada masa yang sama, gaji minima tidak boleh dilaksanakan secara bersendirian. Inilah sebabnya kenapa Pakatan Rakyat mencadangkan supaya dasar gaji minima dilaksanakan bersama-sama dengan usaha lain seperti dana RM2 bilion untuk memudahkan pelaksanaan gaji minima, serta geran kewangan untuk menambah kemahiran pekerja serta insentif automasi untuk perusahaan kecil dan sederhana. Tambahan kepada itu, haruslah ada perubahan struktur terhadap ekonomi demi mencipta lebih banyak pekerjaan produktiviti tinggi dan meningkatkan penglibatan wanita dalam tenaga kerja. Dengan kata lain, usaha terhadap ekonomi berpendapatan tinggi mestilah holitistik dan melibatkan usaha untuk membina dan memupuk bakat manusia. Hanya dengan itu kita akan dapat mencapai sasaran pendapatan purata minima setiap isi rumah sebanyak RM4,000 dalam masa lima tahun pertama di penghujung penggal pentadbiran Pakatan Rakyat. Pilihan yang ada sudah jelas bagi rakyat Malaysia dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke 13 ini. Kita boleh memilih untuk sama ada terus merudum dalam timbunan hutang dan mengambil risiko menjadi negara yang bankrap, atau kita boleh mengundi demi perubahan untuk sebuah kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat yang akan mengutamakan pekerja tempatan melebihi pekerja asing dengan dasar gaji minima RM1,100 sebagai satu langkah menuju sasaran pendapatan isi rumah minima sebanyak RM4,000 dalam lima tahun pertama kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat. LIM GUAN ENG —-Mandarin Version —– 民主行动党秘书长林冠英于2013年5月1日在吉隆坡发表的劳动节献词。 让马来西亚劳工优先享有1100令吉的最低薪金，以迈向5年内达致每户收入至少4千令吉的目标。 正当全马来西亚的劳工庆祝2013年度劳动节时，我们的国家迫切需要改变，以解决每个马来西亚家庭所面对日益严峻的债务问题。 根据国家银行2012年度常年报告指出，马来西亚的家庭债务为7550亿令吉，或相等于我国国内生产总值的81% 。这让我国成为全亚洲负债最多的国家之一。其实, 马来西亚家庭贷款增长率估计为11%，比我国国内生产总值的预算增长率7.8%还要高。 此外，马来西亚的家庭负债比率将近50%，也即是说，平均每个家庭，有一半的收入是用以偿还债务。这意味着，付还了贷款之后，每个马来西亚家庭只剩下些许的钱，作为支付食物、交通、教育及其他必需品之用。 民联定下包括津贴及生活费在内的1100令吉最低薪金制（不包括加班费）是必要的，以让马来西亚人脱离贫穷。行动党不明白，为什么国阵设下的最低薪金只有900令吉，比马来西亚半岛的763令吉、沙巴的1048令吉及砂拉越的912令吉贫穷线还要低。1100令吉的最低薪金制，不只能让马来西亚人脱离贫穷，也能让人民活得有尊严。 民联的最低薪金制政策，并不会让外劳受益，因为1100令吉的最低薪金制在初期只会用在本地劳工身上而已。这将确保马来西亚人民优先，与此同时，也不会对本土的中小企业造成不必要的负担。这方案与国阵不同的是，他们的900令吉最低薪金也包括所有的外劳在内。民联相信，我们必需以马来西亚劳工优先。 与此同时，最低薪金制不能够隔离式地单独执行。这就是为什么民联建议最低薪金制政策需联同其他政策共同落实，就如20亿令吉的最低薪金制基金、提供劳工技术训练的财务补助，以及为中小企业提供机械自动化的奖掖等。另外，经济结构也需要改革，以创造更高生产力的就业机会，以及增加妇女加入劳工领域。 换言之，迈向高收入经济体的驱动器，必须是全面及具包容性的，包括打造和培养人才的努力。只有这样，我们才能在民联执政首届5年结束之前，达致我们定下的每个家庭每月至少4000令吉收入的目标。 马来西亚人民在第13届大选面对非常清楚的选择。我们可以选择继续在这个螺旋式下降的债务和风险下，成为一个破产的国家；或者是选择改变，换民联当政府，一个以本地劳工为优先、实施1100令吉最低薪金制的政府，并定下在首届任期5年内，达致每个家庭至少4000令吉收入的联邦政府。 林冠英 |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2013 08:40 PM PDT Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 30.4.2013. The 95% That PAS And DAP Are In Agreement Are Embodied In The PR Manifesto(Buku Jingga) And Common Policy. DAP reminds its leaders and members to be extremely cautious when speaking to the MCA-controlled Star when in its report today, the Star can even distort and lie about a written joint statement by both PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and myself. We had stated in our statement yesterday that both DAP and PAS are 95% in agreement on common principles and policies that benefit the people. This 95% that both PAS and DAP are in agreement are embodied in the PR Manifesto(Buku Jingga) and Common Policy. However Star reported that both DAP and PAS are only 95% in agreement with the PR Manifesto. This is untrue as both DAP and PAS are 100% fully supportive of the PR manifesto. It is mischievous of The Star to lie that PAS and DAP are "95% in agreement" on the Opposition manifesto that they had agreed to, together with the PKR. What we had agreed on in the PR manifesto is supported fully 100% by all three parties in PR. The "5% difference" between both DAP and PAS are not included in the PR manifesto. Instead the 5% differences are set aside as individual position and principle of respective parties but not of PR. As stated in the joint statement PAS has the democratic right, on its own, to champion Islam and the concept of an Islamic state. On the other hand, the DAP champions the democratic concept of the Malaysia Constitution of justice for all, which is opposed to the hudud and Islamic state. Whilst hudud and Islamic state is the position of PAS, PAS leaders have publicly acknowledged that this is not PR's position. Both DAP and PAS has agreed to disagree on the differences and chosen to focus on the 95% common understanding to fight for freedom, fairness, truth, integrity and democracy for all. This position on PR has been endorsed unanimously by DAP leaders and members to fight the common opponent in BN. For any DAP party leader and member to stray from this party position is deliberately playing along with the BN to paralyse and sabotage PR efforts to win the coming general elections. LIM GUAN ENG ——-Mandarin Version —– 民主行动党秘书长林冠英于2013年4月30日在吉隆坡发表的声明： 伊斯兰党及行动党具有共同原则及政策的95%意见，经已体现在民联的竞选宣言（也即是橙皮书内）。 民主行动党在此提醒所有的领袖及党员，在对马华所控制的英文《星报》发言时，需格外慎言。今天的《星报》，甚至可以歪曲伊斯兰党主席哈迪阿旺和我的联合书面声明，并在报导撒谎。我们经在联合声明中说明：行动党与伊斯兰党在基本原则和惠民政策方面，达致95%的共同点。 伊斯兰党与行动党具有共同原则及政策的95%意见，经已体现在民联的竞选宣言（也即是橙皮书内）。然而，《星报》却报导，行动党及伊斯兰党只在民联竞选宣言中达致95%的协议。这是不正确的。因为行动党及伊斯兰党是100%支持民联的竞选宣言。 《星报》谎称伊斯兰党及行动党在联同公正党在内的反对阵线已同意的竞选宣言中"只有95%的协议"，是一项极大的恶作剧。我们在民联竞选宣言中所同意的事项，都是获各民联三党100%同意的。 而行动党与伊斯兰党两党之间所存有的仅仅"5% 不同意见"，并没有纳入民联的竞选宣言内。这5%的不同意见，被列为各政党的立场及原则，而不是民联的共同原则和立场。诚如在联合声明中所说，伊斯兰党有权自己争取伊期兰国概念，而另一边厢，行动党也有权力要求一个有正义、具宪法制度的民主国家，也就是反对实施伊斯兰法及成立伊斯兰国。虽然伊斯兰法及成立伊斯兰国是伊斯兰党的立场，但该党领袖也公开承认这并不是民联的立场。 行动党及伊斯兰党在异中求同，选择集中在达致协议的95%共同目标，为人民争取自由、公正、真理、廉正和民主。这项民联的立场，获得行动党领袖及党员的一致认可，以打倒我们的共同敌人国阵。任何行动党领袖或党员若偏离党的这个立场，是故意与国阵一起玩弄课题，以破坏民联、让民联赢取本届大选的努力瘫痪。 林冠英 |

| In effort to keep Selangor, Anwar campaigns in Malay heartland Posted: 01 May 2013 05:28 AM PDT
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim took the battle to keep Selangor in the Umno-held Malay heartland of Selayang today, telling youths to vote for change in Election 2013. A 1,000-strong crowd turned up for his visit to Kuang, within the Selayang federal seat helmed by Umno, prompting the opposition leader to proclaim it was a sign of increased support just four days ahead of the May 5 polls. "If it's like this, the SPR can lie and so can the media.. but the people have risen to back Pakatan Rakyat to form the new government in Putrajaya," he told the predominantly Malay crowd in a packed town hall here. (SPR is the Malay acronym for the Elections Commission) These final few days of campaigning will be the most critical for Anwar and the PKR-DAP-PAS alliance as the battle for federal power intensifies, making every vote counts especially those from Barisan Nasional (BN) fortress seats such as Kuang, a rural seat located within the Selayang parliamentary district. Anwar said today's huge turnout indicated a shift in the "political conscience" of the rural Malays who now no longer accept Umno's attempt to veil its corruption through communal politics. "They always talk about the Malays but it is always the Malay youths who are left with no jobs. If they have a job, their salary will only be RM1,000. "We must change this," he said to a loud shout of "ubah" or "change", a popular slogan now used as PR's campaign fodder. In the 2008 elections, PR won 36 of the 56 state seats in Selangor with most coming from urban areas while its rivals Umno, BN's Malay lynchpin, remain indomitable in the rural districts. The pact's caretaker Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim had said he was confident of retaining all the seats it won in the March 8 polls. PR, however, is aiming big this time around and penetrating the Malay heartland would be crucial to PR's ambition for national power. This, Abdul Khalid said, remains an uphill battle. "It is a bit difficult but I believe we have made much progress," he told The Malaysian Insider in an exclusive interview recently. To help PR make inroads into these red areas, PAS had roped in the popular Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib whose long tenure as the state's mentri besar and his charitable leadership had earn him the love and respect from Selangor's rural Malays. Few of those attending today's ceramah told The Malaysian Insider PR's tactic to ride on the popularity of these leaders have begun to draw more Malays towards the opposition. "I was never into politics but I wanted to see Anwar. He's got charisma and I think a lot of young people look up to him," said Faisal Mohd Bakri, a 26 year-old Kuang native who now works in the capital as an engineer, told The Malaysian Insider. Despite his age, Faisal will join some 2.6 million others who will be voting for the first time come May 5. Analysts note that the demographic will be the determinant to the 13th general elections' outcome. These voters is also crucial for PR to bridge the generational gap in the rural areas as most of their parents tend to be pro-BN while the young are more inclined towards the opposition. |
| Pakatan makes May Day pledge of extra pay for civil servants Posted: 01 May 2013 05:25 AM PDT The Pakatan Rakyat (PR) promised to change civil servants' pay scheme to weekly from monthly when it takes power, potentially giving civil servants an extra four weeks' pay annually, in a move to get votes from the 1.4 million-strong civil service. De facto PR leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim delivered his Labour Day's address here, to greet thousands of supporters at the same ground in Precinct 3 where PAS' spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat was given a historic welcome last week. "Our approach is to give benefits and rewards to defend the fates of workers, equivalent to their sacrifices and work load. This is the principles that is not understood by our friends on the other side," Anwar said to the crowd here who welcomed him with standing ovations and "Reformasi" chants earlier.
PR's pledges for civil servants, called "Declaration of Putrajaya 2013", were delivered to Anwar by its author PAS' Datuk Husam Musa, who is making a bid for the federal administrative capital in the May 5 polls. Civil servants are also slated to get interest-free home loans for first-time home buyers, and earlier pension age – 45 for women and 50 for men – should PR win Election 2013. PR also pledged to reduce the promotion period from 15 to 10 years. Workers union will also be allowed, and any political interference in the civil service will be stopped. Earlier on, Anwar praised the civil service for contributing towards his good record while in the Ministry of Education and the Treasury, but lamented that the workers have been demoted due to political interference and use of foreign consultants. He also criticised the Public Service Remuneration Scheme (SBPA) which was introduced on January last year. It was scrapped just after two months, after being criticised for only benefiting top government servants while leaving the majority of the civil service with paltry salary hikes. "This shows the attitude of Umno-BN leaders, they have always sided with the rich people above," said Anwar. It was revealed last year that under the SBPA, the Chief Secretary would draw a salary of RM60,000 while those in the "Premier Service" category were to rake in RM36,000, a vast difference from those in the lower pay grades, some of whom were only given increments as low as RM1.70. The then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had announced that the existing Malaysian Remuneration System (SSM) would be maintained with improvements, where salaries of the Chief Secretary to the Government and top-tier civil servants in the "Premier Service I" (Turus I) category would only be adjusted by seven per cent. Civil servants in the management and professional groups and Grades 1 to 54, in turn, would see their salaries hiked by 13 per cent across the board. "I assure you, a PR government will restore people's trust towards the civil service's professionalism and we will reform the service to increase their dignities as competent civil servants," Anwar said to cheers from the crowd. Malaysia's bureaucracy is powered by some 1.4 million workers. Some 80,000 people live in Putrajaya, with 15,798 of them registered to vote. |
| Time running out for veteran reformer Anwar Posted: 01 May 2013 05:20 AM PDT On Sunday, Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim has his best – and seemingly last – chance to complete an extraordinary political comeback from beaten-down prisoner to leader of his country. The 65-year-old former deputy prime minister and finance minister told Reuters in an interview he will step down if his three-party alliance fails to wrest power for the first time from the ruling National Front (BN) coalition in Sunday’s election. “I’ll have given my best and if the people are not ready for change, it’s better that you have a post-Anwar situation,” he said after a gruelling day of campaigning in Malacca, a BN stronghold. Anwar is closer to power than at any time since his meteoric career came crashing down in 1998 when he fell out with the then prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, his mentor and Malaysia’s longest-serving leader. His alliance surged to its best-ever election result in 2008, gaining support from ethnic Chinese and Indians disillusioned with race-based policies favouring majority Malays and discontent over a lack of political and economic reform.
“What is encouraging compared with 2008 is that we have built the momentum rather early this time. “Normally, you don’t see a crowd like tonight until the end of the campaign trail,” Anwar said as he sat down at a roadside restaurant close to midnight after a long day of campaigning. Late diners mobbed Anwar for pictures and hand shakes, a reminder of how he remains a popular figure after his tumultuous political career. ‘Premature power play that failed’ Anwar, who had long been tipped to succeed Mahathir, was dismissed in 1998 and charged with sodomy and corruption after he clashed with Mahathir over his handling of the Asian financial crisis that battered Malaysia. Many saw the events as a premature power play that failed badly for Anwar, who critics say is still motivated by intense personal ambition. However, his arrest sparked street protests calling for “reformasi”, or reform, that still resonate today, especially for a younger generation eager for change.
Anwar spent six years in solitary confinement and was forced to sit out Malaysia’s next two elections before returning to parliament in 2008 with a sweeping by-election victory. Fresh allegations of sodomy then surfaced and many expected Anwar’s political career to end with a guilty verdict in court. Instead, he was given a new lease on political life when he was acquitted in January 2012 following a trial that gripped the Muslim-majority, multi-ethnic nation of 28 million people. Anwar has always maintained the charges against him were politically-motivated, a view shared by international human rights groups and a majority of Malaysians in opinion polls. Fallen heir Anwar has promoted a rival vision for Malaysia that would abolish or scale back its most authoritarian laws and scrap a system of ethnic preferences for majority Malays. A magnetic speaker who has cultivated a range of international allies, Anwar rails against the network of patronage that has grown up between Umno and well-connected business people, fostering inefficiency and corruption. His critics say he is far from clean himself, having long thrived within the very same establishment. “Malaysia must mature as a democracy. And we must be able to ensure that the (country’s) enormous wealth be well and prudently managed,” Anwar said. Anwar was born in northern Penang island in 1947, the son of a hospital porter who later became a member of parliament. He attended one of Malaysia’s top schools and made his name as a firebrand Islamic youth leader.
Mahathir invited him to join Umno in 1982 to bridge a gap between the party’s ethnic Malay nationalist image and its rising Islamic aspirations. He held a string of senior cabinet posts, including the ministries of agriculture and education, and had been finance minister since 1991 when he was sacked. After his first sodomy conviction was overturned in 2004, Anwar quickly returned to politics as the head of a revitalised, multi-ethnic opposition, centred around Islamists and secular social reformers. The 2008 election put Anwar’s coalition tantalisingly close to a parliamentary majority, challenging the coalition which has controlled Malaysia since independence from Britain in 1957. - Reuters |
| [KENYATAAN MEDIA] JOHARI ABDUL: PENJELASAN BERKENAAN AZLAN MAT LAZIM Posted: 01 May 2013 05:10 AM PDT KENYATAAN MEDIA MEI 1, 2013
Saya ingin merujuk di sini kepada laporan media oleh En Azlan Mat Lazim, bapa kepada Saiful Bukhari. Laporan media menyebut bahawa beliau menarik balik mohon maaf yang dibuatnya kepada Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan turut mengumumkan dirinya keluar dari Parti Keadilan Rakyat dengan serta merta.
Kami ingin menjelaskan di sini bahawa En Azlan Mat Lazim tidak pernah menjadi ahli Parti Keadilan Rakyat. Permohonannya untuk menyertai KEADILAN belum pun diluluskan. Saya juga ingin menjelaskan di sini, bahawa En Azlan Mat Lazim yang meminta untuk bertemu kami dan bukan sebaliknya. Beliau dengan sendiri telah menawarkan untuk membuat pengakuan bahawa segala dakwaan terhadap Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim merupakan satu konspirasi politik.
Perkembangan sebegini bukanlah sesuatu yang luar biasa terutama di musim pilihanraya. Apa tah lagi modus operandi sebegini sudah sinomim dengan muslihat politik UMNO. Beberapa hari sebelum ini En Azlan Mat Lazim telah menghubungi saya dan menyatakan beliau menghadapi tekanan yang sangat kuat dari UMNO. Tekanan ini turut dikenakan ke atas keluarganya. Saya yakin "penarikan balik" pengakuannya ini adalah natijah dari tekanan ini.

| Anwar Ibrahim: Challenging one party rule in Malaysia Posted: 30 Apr 2013 06:18 AM PDT Malaysians will go to the polls on May 5
Malaysians will go to the polls on May 5 in what is predicted to be a closely fought election, with 55 years of one-party government being challenged by Anwar Ibrahim, leader of the People's Justice Party and head of the opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat. Campaigning for the ideals of empowerment, justice and equity, the coalition is calling for an end to corruption and the reform of civil and democratic institutions. Anwar Ibrahim emphasises social justice, poverty eradication, education and civil society and he has been a powerful symbol of integrity in the shadowy world of Malaysian politics for many years. He was a former deputy prime minister in Malaysia, holding various cabinet positions in agriculture, commerce, education and finance before becoming right hand man to former prime minister Mahathir. While finance minister he was recognised as an "Asian tiger" and Newsweek named him its 1998 "Asian of the Year" for his role in rescuing Malaysia from the Asian financial crisis. When establishing a reform movement, he courageously accused the prime minister of corruption, which led to his temporary downfall and six years in jail on trumped-up charges. Emerging from the politically motivated accusations in 2004, he gained a notable result in the 2008 elections, winning one-third of the seats and five states from the incumbent National Front party. Attempts to smear his reputation again failed when accusations were finally dismissed last year for lack of evidence. He is regarded as Malaysia's best hope against an autocratic and corrupt government which many think have ruled Malaysia for far too long. The incumbents are using the usual tactics such as tampering with the electoral rolls and using huge amounts of public money to campaign against the opposition. At speeches and rallies Anwar Ibrahim is compelling, charismatic and persuasive as he remains steadfast in his trust in true democracy and his faith in the wisdom of the people. His followers are joining him in their hundreds of thousands in the call for electoral reform and an end to corruption scandals, crime and police brutality. Anwar knows well that he is up against a well-oiled propaganda machine that calls itself "Moderate Malaysia" and controls the media's often empty vote-getting slogans which distort the meaning of freedom, democracy and human rights. His own coalition is a triumph of bringing to consensus the disparate elements of his People's Justice Party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic party and the ethnic Chinese Democratic Action party. He has managed to bring them together into a broader liberal community through "active and vibrant intellectual discourse," acknowledging extremists with respect and tolerance. The objective is a multi-party democracy where leading parties will change every few years as a way of being accountable to the people, putting an end to the single party domination of Malaysian politics. The twin issues of corruption and living costs are of major concern to voters. Anwar's People's Alliance has established a good track record in the states it currently governs, and he told reporters on April 4 that he was "cautiously optimistic" about winning a majority in parliament. The people of Malaysia have become more aware of national issues and their right to criticise, question and condemn their current rulers whose excesses and extravagances have no limits. In the culture of patronage and political largesse, huge sums of public money have been squandered in failed economic ventures and speculative projects, which certainly have not benefitted Malaysians. Education, housing and health services are all in need of upgrading and investment and the country suffers from stagnant wages and a huge and growing national debt, as the government borrows to maintain handouts to retain political power. It is a tragic state for a Muslim country to be in, as it has moved far from the tenets of Islam which include moderation, piety, justice and fairness to all. The Pakatan Rakyat offers the best hope of reform and change and the fact that the coalition contains diverse interests and competing ideologies can be seen as one of its strengths. By bringing together different ethnic and religious groups the PR coalition is more representative of a truly democratic Malaysia, more concerned for the good of the country and all its people than the nationalist Malay group represented by the ruling Barisan Nasional. If the nation is to eradicate poverty which is one of the often repeated campaign promises of the current government, then mismanagement, corruption and abuse of power will have to be replaced with a moral government with the interests of the people at heart. Anwar Ibrahim has an opportunity on May 5 to save his country from the one-party rule that threatens to hold back the country with stagnating ideas and economics; hopefully the people of Malaysia will recognise the moment for its historical significance and give Anwar Ibrahim the chance to lead his country to a renaissance of integrity, prosperity and true democracy.

| Who exactly will be in chaos if Pakatan wins? Posted: 29 Apr 2013 08:31 PM PDT by Abdul Ghani Mohamad If Pakatan Rakyat (PR) wins the general election on May 5, it will be because a majority of Malaysians decided that it wants a new leadership at the helm of our country. But Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today that PR's cry for change in Election 2013 is a call for chaos, division and national bankruptcy. How's that again? If a majority of us — and that remains an if — want PR to run the country for the next five years, why exactly would there be chaos? I would think the only chaos would be among Barisan Nasional (BN) parties and their leaders. Surely, Muhyiddin is not suggesting that BN leaders, their parties and the voters who support them would be sore losers and create chaos? Or is there an implied threat there? I would like to have more confidence in my fellow Malaysians. After all, a significant number of Malaysians — millions, in fact — have consistently voted for opposition parties since independence. And the result has more often than not been peace. Except in 1969 when BN's predecessor the Alliance scraped through but lost the popular vote. So, there has always been division in our country too, just like there is in any country, organisation or even family. We have different opinions but we are still Malaysians. As for bankruptcy, I am assuming Muhyiddin is referring to Pakatan's many promises in its election manifesto. I do not agree with some of the proposals in Pakatan's manifesto but it is rich of him to suggest the opposition, if given a chance to rule, would bankrupt the country. BN's policies in facing this election are equally if not more populist, what with handouts being announced every week. I can only come to one conclusion — Muhyiddin's remarks are nothing more than a self-serving bid to stay in power, and not an attempt to offer Malaysians a chance to make an informed choice between BN and Pakatan. Maybe, it was too much to expect from the man. |

The charismatic former rising star of the ruling United Malays National Organisation (Umno) party said he was optimistic about going one better this time.
Images at the time of the goateed, bespectacled Anwar appearing in court with a black eye and bruises sparked international outrage. Only a year earlier,Time magazine had put him on its cover, calling him “The Future of Asia”.
He was jailed for 20 months in 1974 under a sweeping Internal Security Act (ISA) for leading anti-government demonstrations against poverty.
