Royal Commission of Inquiry on the 13th GE

After May 5, thousands of people of all races continue to throng peaceful rallies in many parts of Malaysia. Malaysians want to know why with 52% of popular votes Pakatan Rakyat cannot form the federal government, whereas Barisan Nasional with 47% of popular votes is the Central Government.

Tonight, many Malaccans attend DAP dinner at Pei Feng school, hoping to know what measures can be taken to rectify the electoral disparities. We call for Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate the irregularities of the13th general election.

KL traffic, floods & housing

The new Federal Territory Minister YB Tengku Adnan says he will focus on traffic, fladh flood and civil servant issues. We hope he truly means what he says.

There are many areas of traffic woes in Kuala Lumpur; these are mostly connected with Selangor. Flash floods occur; we need to improve the maintenance of rivers and monsoon drains. The housing problems are serious, including the defective Joint Management Bodies (JMBs) in some highrise flats. 

For example, JMB at Pelangi Magna, Kepong, owes Syabas RM77, 999; the water supply has been disconnected. JMBs at low-cost flats in Taman Fadason, Kepong, are facing the impasse of some residents refusing to pay service fees.

We keep the minister posted.

Lets hope that the new Cabinet can truly serve

Lets hope that the new Cabinet can truly serve.

For example, it is hoped that the Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Husni can plug the leakages, encourage real foreign investment, reduce inflation, balance the budget, control the debts and improve economic growth.

Effective measures against riverbank collapse

In Metro Prima, Kepong, there are two blocks of 17-storey Mutiara Magna condominium near the bank of Keroh River. There is a block of 17-storey low-cost flats opposite. Hitherto, there must be at least 7,000 residents.


Recently, the Irrigation Department has been implementing River of Life project. Suddenly, the river bank collapsed.

The Kuala Lumpur City Hall and the Irrigation Department must be watchful, taking effective measures to prevent riverbank landslides. There are 120 Km main rivers and 330 Km big drains in Kuala Lumpur.

Perasaan ramai di Stadium Batu Kawan

Semalam, beribu-ribu orang berhimpun di Stadium Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang, sebagai reaksi kepada keputusan PRU13. Mereka berkumpul secara aman. Mereka hendak mengetahui sebab-musabab Pakatan Rakyat mendapat 52% undi dan Barisan Nasional 47%, tetapi BN menjadi Kerajaan.

SPR dan kecurangan pilihan raya

Timbalan Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Datuk Wan Ahmad menyifatkan pengadu yang tidak faham undang-undang, lalu menolak memo mengenai kecurangan PRU13. Beliau mestilah menjelaskan pemahamannya terhadap politik wang, projek tanpa tender terbuka, jurang amalan pilihan raya dan pendatang jadi pengundi.

,Election Commission must be fair

In the May 5 General Election, Pakatan Rakyat obtained 52 percent of the popular votes and Barisan Nasional 47 percent. But the latter forms the Government. Many feel that there were irregularities in the general election. They protest peacefully including filing petitions. The Election Commission must be seen to be fair in dealing with these cases.

A fair delineation of constituencies

Election Commission is preparing to proceed with redelineation of constituencies. Previously, there were discrepancies of delineation. These must be rectified. The EC must be seen to be fair in the above redelineation.

Post-election feeling

On May 8, tens of thousands of people thronged within and outside the Kelana Jaya stadium to listen to Anwar Ibrahim and others. The post-election sentiments of the crowd are varied. While the Prime Minister YAB Najib and the Election Commission say that the 13th general election ran smoothly, many feel differently. The crowd are enraged:  money politics, media monopoly and the gap in electoral practice.
