A Bersih 3.0 video by DAP - I am posting it because even if DAP is a political party in Malaysia, I see the video as something informative revealing the truth with no political issues in which, ALL political parties in Malaysia must take note to the fact that BERSIH is a NGO that only wants fair and clean election  for MALAYSIA! Salute to Ms Ambiga for leading BERSIH and making Malaysians care!

Most Malaysian citizens are probably looking forward to the GE13 to vote and make a difference. With Bersih trying to clean up the election acts and loads of independent such as Tindak Malaysia, Jom Pantau PRU13 - KOMAS, MAFREL, NIEI coming in to educate and monitor, we are hoping the rakyat of Malaysia will know what they can and cannot do during the election day. One of the GE13 Voting Tips, which I posted in May - (Tip 2) is now updated as follows (refer Tindak Malaysia ): 1. In order to prevent a voter from ensuring the secrecy of his vote, the SPR wants to insist upon issuing the ballot paper by sequence. They have sought the advi ce of the Attorney General and this is the advice given to them apparently: "The Presiding Officer shall refuse the Voter's request for a random paper and if he protest, to evict him from the polling station. Let them go to court to challenge the Presiding Officer's decision." What is the strategy behind this? 1. To infli...

I went to Jom Pantau on 26th May, Saturday to see if I could learn more about how elections are run in Malaysia, and maybe volunteer as an observer of election happenings. As far as I know, Jom Pantau is a non political organization that observes elections and educates the people of their voting rights so that real democracy continues to exist. It was certainly an informative day as 4 presentations were given on different topics in relation to elections by different speakers from various organizations. The most important points that I got out of the workshop are our rights to vote and how we may protect our votes. So I am going to share them with you here in hope that our votes are protected and counted successfully. At present: Register to be a voter, or if you are already registered, check your voter status and confirm you are registered. You may do so by two ways: (i) Online: http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/NEWDAFTARJ/ - Print a copy of your confirmation slip and safekeep the slip....

We need to know the whole news and not censored versions! Please help spread the truth.

What is happening now? Can Malaysia have the change that the rakyat wants? Can Malaysia have a clean and fair election as the rakyat wants? Independent opinions find EC backward. Is the Malaysian government going to do anything about this or continue to be arrogant? BN needs to know we want a clean and fair election. From Bersih rally 2.0 last year, it seems they are still refusing to listen, and instead chose to take a harsh stand for Bersih Rally 3.0. They prefer to blame it as a political rally supported by the opposition. I do not support any parties in particular as I only want to make my choice on the party that works for the rakyat, and this remains to be seen. It is good the opposition supports the Bersih Rally, as it shows that they too want a clean and fair election as do the rakyat of Malaysia, and it will be good if BN can see that too, instead of seeing it as a threat to the interest of the country. Bear in mind, most countries have peaceful demonstrations all the tim...

I am lucky enough to be in Malaysia to join in a historic walk in support of BERSIH 2012! The BERSIH RALLY 3.0 which went ahead yesterday, started off with a good note. I met with my friends in Kelana Jaya LRT station and I have never seen such a muhibbah group ever. Everyone was smiling and calm as we took our train, which was quite full even from the first stop, to KLCC. Some of the commuters were very excited and looking forward to the duduk bantah as a way to show that they really wanted a change for the better of Malaysia. We reached KLCC about 10am, and the crowd was already huge. There were people of all ages and walks of life, most wearing yellow, and a lot wearing their Lynas t-shirts or Bersih t-shirts. It was really wonderful to see so many people with a common goal, and everyone was helping each other put up green and yellow ribbons for anyone who wanted it. I really forgot to take a time watch as I was just enjoying busy chatting with new found friends and taking ph...

Once again , Bersih with its continuing work is holding another rally ( Bersih Rally 3.0 ) to demonstrate that Malaysians DO WANT a clean election. All the more so, with allegations circulating revealing that foreigners are given MYKAD with an expiry date. It is amazing that most of the new registered "rakyat" are mostly with Selangor address, and the federal government and EC has yet to answer to that with true transparency and public publishing of the report. The nation is surely not getting the transparency from the BN government about this through local medias. It is a shame that instead of focusing on truly ridding corruption and dictatorship, the federal government seems to be seen as using all means to ensure a win in the coming election. The most common reason s given for not approving the Bersih Rally 3.0 is safety and traffic congestion. Although this time, the government has approved two other venues for this rally, most Malaysians are convinced that if the venue ...
