Umpan beras tapi Himpunan bersama Najib gagal saingi HKR Posted: 13 Jan 2013 08:17 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR 13 JANUARI: Program disertai Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang  cuba menyaingi Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat, terbukti gagal walaupun menawarkan pelbagai umpan dan dibantu media arus perdana. Barisan Nasional terpaksa menggunakan beras dan barangan keperluan harian untuk mengumpan penduduk hadir ke Majlis Himpunan Rakyat Bersama Perdana Menteri di Dataran Tesco Bandar Rinching, Semenyih, semalam. Laman web, blog dan facebook pro-BN sendiri menyiarkan gambar pengunjung diangkut dengan bas ke tapak himpunan dan diupah dengan beras dan tepung. Malah, ada yang pengsan kerana berebut habuan yang diagih dari dua treler dalam program anjuran parti komponen BN, Barisan Kemajuan India SeMalaysia (IPF). Kehadiran warganegara asing yang memakai baju berlogo BN dan 1Malaysia dikesan dalam pelbagai media sosial dalam program berkenaan. Laman web klpos.com yang pro-Umno melapor hanya 40,000 hadir program itu manakala manakala Berita Harian Online melapor 15,000 orang. Sementara itu, Majlis Perhimpunan Rakyat 1Malaysia yang dihadiri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang kononnya mahu mengumpulkan puluhan ribu rakyat di Pekan, Pahang semalam tidak dibuktikan di mana-mana media arus perdana. Sehingga kini langsung tiada laporan di mana-mana media arus perdana secara terbuka mengenai jumlah kehadiran sekali gus memberi gambaran acara itu tidak mendapat sambutan rakyat. Bernama – sebuah agensi berita nasional hanya melapor pertemuan Muhyiddin dengan semua pengerusi parti komponen dan 70 ketua bahagian Umno BN Pahang dan langsung tidak menyebut jumlah kehadiran. Kebanyakan media terutama akhbar Cina melapor kehadiran 500,000 ke Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat manakala Pensyarah Matematik Tulen dan Falsafah Matematik di Fakulti Sains dan Teknologi Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Profesor Alinor Abd Kadir menyatakan, jumlah kehadiran ialah 700,000 orang.

HKR: Rakyat ulangi tekad untuk ubah M’sia jadi demokrasi berparlimen, bebas & adil Posted: 13 Jan 2013 08:15 PM PST Laungan keramat 'Merdeka' sekali lagi menggegarkan Stadium Merdeka pada 12 Januari 2013. Sementara laungan 'Merdeka' yang dilaungkan 55 tahun lalu dipimpin Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, kali ini laungan "Merdeka" yang bergema tepat jam 4.37 petang dipimpin oleh YB Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan disambut oleh lebih 300,000 rakyat Malaysia pelbagai kaum di dalam dan di luar stadium. Peristiwa bersejarah ini turut disaksikan oleh pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat seperti YAB Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz, Tuan Guru Dato' Seri Haji Abdul Hadi Awang, YB Lim Kit Siang, Tuan Guru Haji Salleh selaku Mudir Madrasah Ar – Rahmaniah, Sik, Kedah dan wakil-wakil Lembaga Suadaya Masyarakat seperti BERSIH, ANAK, ROYALTI  dan PAHLAWAN. Kita berhimpun semalam untuk mengulangi tekad rakyat Malaysia sebagaimana yang terkandung dalam Pemasyhuran Kemerdekaan 1957. Cita-cita kita untuk membangunkan Malaysia yang berteraskan Demokrasi Berparlimen, Bebas dan Adil. Kita telah mencipta sejarah dengan menuntut kemerdekaan dari kezaliman dan kemungkaran ekonomi yang diterajui oleh UMNO. Rakyat Malaysia menuntut kebebasan, hak asasi manusia dipertahankan dan pengagihan ekonomi yang adil. Rakyat Malaysia juga menuntut Sabah – Sarawak diiktiraf adil setara dengan Semenanjung Malaysia selaras dengan Perjanjian Malaysia 1963. Saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada rakyat Malaysia yang telah berhimpun dengan aman dan teratur di sepanjang tempoh berlangsungnya Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat dan berani tampil untuk meruntuhkan tembok ketakutan yang dipasak selama 5 dekad. Rakyat Malaysia juga menyambut baik usaha Ketua Polis Negara dan pimpinan PDRM yang mempamerkan kewibawaan institusi polis untuk menjamin hak asasi, kebebasan serta keselamatan rakyat seperti yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Kebangkitan rakyat hari ini memaknai erti perjuangan rakyat yang sebenar dan kembali menghayati fitrah manusia yang sentiasa mendambakan keadilan dan keharmonian masyarakat. InshaAllah, obor reformasi akan memberi sinar baru demi membela nasib rakyat. Stadium Merdeka adalah lambang gelora kebangkitan rakyat dan Putrajaya adalah lambang kemenangan rakyat melaksanakan cita-cita dan hasrat murni untuk membangun sebuah negara yang bebas dan demokratik. Timbalan Presiden KEADILAN Mohamed Azmin Ali Short URL: http://www.keadilandaily.com/?p=43090

Pakar Matematik anggar 700,000 orang sertai HKR Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:54 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR 13 JANUARI: Pakar matematik, Prof Dr Shahrir Md Zain menganggar lebih 700,000 orang menyertai Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat di Stadium Merdeka, semalam. Memetik Penang Insight, bekas profesor Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) itu dilapor membuat anggaran itu di laman facebook beliau. "Kalau berjalan 20 orang melebar sepanjang satu kilometer (km), jumlahnya 100,000. "Andaiannya ialah 10,000 kaki sama dengan satu kilometer, seseorang memerlukan dua kaki persegi untuk bergerak dengan selesa. "Jadi, lebar jalan 40 kaki dan 5,000 orang boleh memanjang jalan. Lalu, 5,000 (orang) darab 20 (orang) ialah 100,000 (orang per kilometer). "Pertanyaan saya, berapa kilometerkah seluruh orang yang datang HKR. Jawapannya ialah 700,000," katanya dengan mengambil kira pandangan dari atas pada lingkungan tujuh kilometer. Nyata, ia bertentangan dengan kenyataan Ketua Polis Daerah Dang Wangi, Asisten Komisioner Zainuddin Ahmad dalam Buletin Utama TV3 yang hanya menganggar 40,000 orang sahaja menyertai HKR. Sedangkan twitter rasmi PDRM pula menyebut 80,000 orang menyertai HKR tetapi kemudian membuat pembetulan. Short URL: http://www.keadilandaily.com/?p=43036

HKR: Sejarah baru tuntut kemerdekaan dari Umno – Azmin Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:52 PM PST KUALA LUMPUR 14 Jan: Timbalan Presiden KEADILAN, Mohamed Azmin Ali berkata, kejayaan Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat (HKR) adalah sejarah baru menuntut kemerdekaan dari kezaliman dan kemungkaran ekonomi yang diterajui Umno. Katanya, kebangkitan rakyat yang mewarnai pentas politik negara memberi maksud perjuangan adalah sifat fitrah manusia untuk mengembalikan keadilan dan keharmonian. "Rakyat Malaysia menuntut kebebasan, hak asasi manusia dipertahankan dan pengagihan ekonomi yang adil. Rakyat Malaysia juga menuntut Sabah, Sarawak diiktiraf adil setara dengan Semenanjung Malaysia selaras dengan Perjanjian Malaysia 1963. "Kebangkitan rakyat hari ini memaknai erti perjuangan rakyat sebenar dan kembali menghayati fitrah manusia yang sentiasa mendambakan keadilan dan keharmonian masyarakat," katanya pada kenyataan. Tambah Azmin, kehadiran 300,000 rakyat berhimpun di Stadium Merdeka seolah-olah mengulangi detik sejarah negara yang menjadi saksi kepada kemerdekaan negara 55 tahun lalu. "Kita berhimpun untuk mengulangi tekad rakyat Malaysia sebagaimana yang terkandung dalam Pemasyhuran Kemerdekaan 1957. Cita-cita kita untuk membangunkan Malaysia yang berteraskan demokrasi berparlimen, bebas dan adil. "InsyaAllah, obor reformasi akan memberi sinar baru demi membela nasib rakyat. Stadium Merdeka adalah lambang gelora kebangkitan rakyat dan Putrajaya adalah lambang kemenangan rakyat melaksanakan cita-cita dan hasrat murni untuk membangun sebuah negara yang bebas dan demokratik," kata Ahli Parlimen Gombak itu. Azmin juga mengucapkan tahniah kepada rakyat yang berhimpun dan bergerak secara aman tanpa melibatkan insiden tidak diingini. "Saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada rakyat Malaysia yang berhimpun dengan aman dan teratur di sepanjang tempoh berlangsungnya Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat dan berani tampil untuk meruntuhkan tembok ketakutan yang dipasak selama lima dekad. "Rakyat Malaysia juga menyambut baik usaha Ketua Polis Negara dan pimpinan PDRM yang mempamerkan kewibawaan institusi polis untuk menjamin hak asasi, kebebasan serta keselamatan rakyat seperti yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan," katanya.

PoliTweet ramal 150,000 sertai perhimpunan kelmarin Posted: 13 Jan 2013 06:48 PM PST dipetik daripada Malaysian Insider Oleh Clara Chooi Penolong Pengarang Berita January 13, 2013 Rakyat mengisi Stadium Merdeka semasa Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat 12 Januari 2012. — Gambar Choo Choy May KUALA LUMPUR, 13 Jan — Jumlah peserta yang menyertai perhimpunan "Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat" anjuran pembangkang semalam di Stadium Merdeka mungkin mencecah 150,000, menurut badan kajian bebas online PoliTweet.org hari ini selepas penyelidikan awal mereka. PoliTweet.org yang menjejak penggunaan laman sosial media dalam lapangan politik di Malaysia menulis dilaman Facebook mereka anggaran tersebut dibuat berdasarkan gambar dalam perhimpunan oleh media dan yang dikongsi oleh online netizens. Laporan mereka menyatakan berdasarkan bukti visual daripada gambar, peserta yang hadir meliputi hampir 40,000 meter persegi dalam stadium (tidak termasuk yang berdiri ditangga) dan dikawasan sekeliling luar lokasi perhimpunan. Peserta di luar Stadium Merdeka. "Kepadatan kawasan berbeza, tetapi jika anda mengambil purata 3.5-4 kaki persegi setiap orang, jumlahnya adalah 106037-121185 peserta di luar stadium. "Ini termasuk dengan kapasiti 30 ribu yang dilaporkan berada dalam stadium, saiz orang yang dianggarkan ialah: 136037-151185 orang," lapor agensi penyelidikan dalam artikelnya yang termasuk dengan gambar kawasan sekitar di Stadium Merdeka. "Setiap kawasan dinilai berasingan untuk menentukan jumlah kepadatan orang ramai yang tepat. Tapi angka ini akan disemak semula pada hujung minggu ini," tambah PoliTweet.org tersebut. Semalam, polis telah mengurangkan jangkaan awal mereka tentang jumlah kehadiran peserta Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat dari 80,000 ke 45,000 orang, di dalam dan di luar Stadium Merdeka. Namun, penganjur dan Pakatan Rakyat (PR) mengatakan jumlah peserta mencecah 500,000 menghadiri perhimpunan raksasa tersebut serta mendakwa ia adalah terbesar diadakan di ibu kota. Pada Mei tahun lalu, Menteri Penerangan, Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Rais Yatim menganggarkan 22,270 orang hadir dalam perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 berdasarkan gambar dari Bernama dengan menggunakan sistem blok komunikasi. Pada bulan Julai 2011, pasukan polis menganggarkan antara 5,000 hingga 6,000 peserta menghadiri perhimpunan Bersih 2.0, tetapi kebanyakan media melaporkan hampir 20,000 peserta. Penganjur Bersih menganggarkan kira-kira 50,000 orang hadir ke perhimpunan itu. Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat di ibu kota berakhir petang ini dengan ikrar oleh Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bahawa Pakatan Rakyat (PR) akan mempunyai toleransi sifar terhadap rasuah atau apa-apa percubaan untuk merampas kekayaan rakyat. Perhimpunan raksasa dianjurkan oleh kedua-dua pemimpin politik dari PR dan kumpulan masyarakat sivil sebagai wadah terakhir mengenai isu-isu mereka sebelum pilihan raya umum ke-13.

Malaysians gather in tens of thousands demanding political reforms (PHOTOS) Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:14 AM PST RT.COM Tens of thousands Malaysians have come out to protest in the country's capital against the government calling for reforms and possible ouster of the ruling coalition. The rally comes before Malaysia's general elections, which are due by mid-2013. According to local police, 80,000 people marched through Kuala Lumpur to the legendary Stadium Merdeka, where the current governing alliance declared independence from Britain in 1957, reported The Malaysian Insider. Opposition estimates that the turnout was even higher, at about 100,000, according to Malaysia Kini. Protesters' demands included better electoral and environmental laws, improved education system, abolition of student loans and fair royalty payments to oil-producing states. The opposition argues that the country's electoral register is fraudulent and has pro-government bias.

The rally resembled a festival with food sellers and other vendors coming out to the streets. People carried flags and signs and some even wore Guy Fawkes masks, as popularized by the 2005 film V for Vendetta.

The ruling coalition has been in control of Malaysia since independence from Britain. "Our government is so corrupt. The government should listen to us. They need to reform. For more than 50 years they have ruled Malaysia," rally participant Azlan Abu Bakar told News24.

The ruling government's term is due to expire in April with elections to be held by mid-2013. PM Razak’s bloc faces a new opposition force comprised of Anwar Ibrahim's multi-ethnic party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and Malaysian Chinese Association, party dominated by ethnic Chinese. The ruling block has also been experiencing waning support. It lost more than a third of its seats in parliament to the opposition in 2008, as the charges of corruption grew.

Malaysian Opposition Rally Draws Huge Crowd Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:10 AM PST The West.Com Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim urged voters to oust the country’s long-ruling government as tens of thousands of supporters gathered Saturday in a show of force ahead of coming elections. At least 50,000 people crowded into an iconic stadium in the capital Kuala Lumpur where independence was declared in 1957 and tens of thousands more thronged surrounding areas as the opposition effectively kicked off its campaign. “We plead for you to give us a chance so that the people’s voices will become the voices of the leaders of this nation,” Anwar told the crowds as he denounced what he called the government’s misrule and corruption. “The time has come to bury the unfairness of this government,” he declared. The Barisan Nasional coalition has controlled Malaysia since independence from Britain and was never seriously threatened until Anwar’s opposition alliance handed the ruling bloc its worst election showing ever in 2008. Premier Najib Razak must face elections no later than June in a contest that is shaping up as the nation’s most intriguing yet, with the opposition seeking to harness the winds of change that powered the “Arab Spring” in the Middle East. There was no hint Saturday of the violence that marred the country’s last major anti-government rally in April. That rally, for reform of an election system that the opposition and other critics say is skewed in the government’s favour, drew tens of thousands to the streets but degenerated into clashes between demonstrators and police. Authorities were criticised for a response widely seen as heavy-handed. Critics say the electoral system is rife with voter-roll fraud and other pro-government bias, and complain the government has not followed through on a pledge to address alleged unfairness in time for the polls. The government denies the system is biased. “If you cheat in this election, the people will rise to overthrow you,” Anwar warned in comments directed at the country’s Election Commission, which is widely seen as pro-government. Anwar was deputy premier until his sensational ouster in 1998 amid a row with with strongman ruler Mahathir Mohamad, and was convicted on sodomy and corruption charges widely viewed as a political fix-up. His casting out has invigorated a once-ineffectual opposition. He now heads a tripartite alliance of his own multi-ethnic party, an influential Islamic party, and a third party dominated by ethnic Chinese. Muslim Malays make up more 60 percent of Malaysia’s 28 million people. The government derides the opposition as a marriage of convenience incapable of governing, saying Malaysia needs Barisan Nasional’s steady hand. It also touts efforts by Najib to spark the economy and reform oppressive laws. Under Barisan Nasional, Malaysia became one of Southeast Asia’s economic success stories and enjoyed decades of political stability, while facing recurring allegations of corruption and rights abuses. The opposition accuses the scandal-prone government of massive graft, thuggish rule, and racial fear-mongering in the multi-ethnic nation in order to stay in power. It also says the economy is also losing its competitive edge against regional rivals. “Our government is so corrupt. The government should listen to us. They need to reform,” said rally participant Azlan Abu Bakar, 29, who travelled from the eastern state of Terengganu for the gathering.

Thousands Attend Malaysia’s Opposition Rally Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:08 AM PST Wall Street Journal Malaysia’s opposition held its first big rally Saturday in a show of strength ahead of the general elections, which are being tipped as the most closely contested in a country that has been ruled by the Barisan Nasional-led coalition party since independence in 1957. Thousands of people flocked to Kuala Lumpur’s historic Merdeka Stadium, seeking reforms in an electoral system they say is biased toward the ruling coalition government. General elections must be held by June 27 and analysts widely believe the ruling coalition will retain power, although with fewer seats in parliament. Anwar Ibrahim led the opposition to its best performance in years in 2008, capturing a record 82 of 222 seats in parliament, leaving the ruling front short of a two-thirds majority for the first time. It also won five of Malaysia’s 13 states. Since then, the opposition has inched up to 86 seats in parliament but lost control of one state. “No one should steal our votes. We shall work to defend our votes and will not allow anyone to mock our votes,” said Mr. Anwar, who heads a diverse opposition coalition of three parties, while addressing a sea of supporters in yellow and green T-shirts. The Elections Commission is constantly scrutinizing the electoral roll to ensure it is as accurate as possible, the government said in a statement late Saturday. “Malaysia’s electoral system is stronger than ever,” it added. The peaceful rally, which the police say was attended by about 45,000 while the opposition put the number at 100,000, was in stark contrast to the April 2012 anti-government demonstration that was marred by violent clashes between the police and the protesters. The peaceful gathering underlined Prime Minister Najib Razak’s commitment to freedom of assembly and reflects the strength of Malaysia’s democracy, the government added in the statement. “The message here is that people want change, they are fed up with the corruption and cheating in the elections,” Mr. Anwar told The Wall Street Journal after the rally. “We want a better life in Malaysia. We want clean elections,” said Emir Fadzly, who attended the rally with three friends from the northern state of Kedah. His voice adds to the growing clamor for greater transparency and a more open society promised by the charismatic Mr. Anwar, who is taking a last shot at the premiership. The 64-year-old Mr. Anwar has said he will retire if the opposition coalition—which consists of the Islamist PAS party; Mr. Anwar’s moderate People’s Justice Party, which has wide appeal among urban youth; and the Chinese-majority Democratic Action Party—fails to form the next government. “God willing, we hope this massive crowd will sway the fence sitters,” Khalid Samad, a leader of the PAS party said. The ruling National Front coalition has portrayed the opposition coalition as an unnatural alliance of Islamic fundamentalists and multi-ethnic and liberal parties that would fall apart if it won power. Race forms the core of politics in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where ethnic Malays make up about 60% of the 28.5 million population and are given preferences in jobs, university placements and businesses. Prime Minister Najib Razak’s United Malays National Organization says such quotas have helped to create a more stable society, but main political strands are divided over whether they have outlived their usefulness or are still needed to cap racial and religious tensions, which flared in 2010 with arson against Christian churches.

Politweet says 150k at rally but assumes Stadium only houses 30k, meeting pts not included Posted: 13 Jan 2013 09:06 AM PST Malaysia Chronicle The crowd at the HRK#KL112 rally held on Saturday could have reached up to 150,000 people, according to preliminary estimates by think-tank Politweet. However, the estimate does not take into account the crowds at all the 8 meeting points arranged by organizers. Many participants had gathered at those spots and marched with great determination to the Stadium Merdeka where the main event was held, but were turned away by the police. Politweet’s estimate also assumes that the capacity of the Stadium itself was a “reported 30,000″. However, seasoned users of the Stadium will vouch that it can squeeze in at least 80,000 to 100,000. The think-tank also did not mention in its statement published on Facebook whether its estimate was at ‘peak’ or ‘non-peak’ time. Way higher than the Malaysian media Even so, Politweet’s calculation is still way higher than the highest estimate from the government-controlled Malaysian media. These have been accused of bowing to government pressure to under-report the crowd size. The smallest estimate was 30,000 and the largest was 100,000. Police initially estimated a crowd of 80,000 but later scaled this back to 45,000. The rally organizers have put the total crowd size at 500,000. Malaysia Chronicle estimated the total number of rally goers was more than the Bersih 3.0 rally for free and fair polls held last year, where 250,000 Malaysians attended a sit-in rally in the vicinity of the Dataran Merdeka. Revisions to come soon Below is the Politweet statement published verbatim (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151338418832486&set=a.10151337014227486.501505.150884017485&type=1&ref=nf). “Area covered by the crowd that attended the rally (not including stadium seating), based on photos in the media and shared online. Shaded area covers 424149.14 sq.ft. Crowd density varies, but if you take an average of 3.5-4 sq.ft. per person, the total is 106037 – 121185 people outside the stadium. Including the 30K reported capacity of the stadium, the estimated size of the crowd is: 136037 – 151185 people. Each area will be evaluated separately to determine a more accurate crowd density. Please expect this figure to be revised later this week.” Politweet is a research firm that analyses Twitter usage. Among recent findings, it detected an effort by Prime Minister Najib Razak’s office to cheat in setting a tweeting record during the Merdeka celebrations last year.

• #KL112 tanda suara rakyat tidak boleh diabai
• Pakatan Rakyat Takes a Stab at Umno’s ‘Merdeka’ Legacy
• Hundreds of Thousands in Malaysia Protest Against Government in Buildup to Elections

#KL112 tanda suara rakyat tidak boleh diabai Posted: 12 Jan 2013 12:08 PM PST Sinar Online SHAH ALAM – Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat (#KL112) yang diadakan hari ini menunjukkan mesej jelas bahawa kerajaan tidak boleh mengabaikan suara rakyat. Katanya, hari ini seluruh rakyat bersatu hati dan bersatu suara dalam menuntut perubahan. "#KL112 mungkin membawa pelbagai isu tetapi semuanya berkait antara satu sama lain, tetapi Malaysia akan menjadi lebih baik apabila suara ramai mulai didengari. “Sama ada untuk mengubah pilihan raya, menyediakan pilihan raya yang bebas, menghentikan Lynas ataupun mempertahankan hak keluarga Felda. “Kami menuntut pilihan raya yang adil dan bebas. Tidak ada sesiapa yang boleh curi undi kita. Kita harus bersatu untuk mempertahankan undi kita dan tidak akan membenarkan sesiapapun untuk menipu undi kita. Ubah pilihan raya sekarang,” katanya, yang juga Ketua Umum Pakatan Rakyat, dalam satu kenyataan hari ini, menjelang Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat yang berlangsung di Stadium Merdeka mulai jam 2 petang tadi. Tambahnya, generasi muda yang ada kini perlu dijamin masa depan mereka dan pendidikan percuma kepada semua anak Malaysia adalah tanggungjawab pemimpin, bukannya meletakkan hutang kepada golongan muda. Beliau menambah, dalam mengejar kemajuan, perniagaan tidak boleh mengatasi isu alam sekitar, terutamanya membabitkan keselamatan rakyat Kuantan tidak boleh diabaikan. "Perniagaan tidak boleh melebihi keselamatan alam sekitar, sebab itulah kita wajar melindungi keselamatan rakyat Kuantan. Katakan tidak kepada Lynas. "Selain itu, peneroka dan keluarga mereka bukanlah barangan tidak komoditi yang akan didagangkan seperti yang dilihat dalam penyenaraian yang terpaksa dilalui oleh peneroka Felda dan kesan kewangan akibat penyenaraian  itu kini terpaksa dihadapi  hari ini. "Hari ini kita wajar putuskan apa yang betul dan apa yang tidak kepada kumpulan kecil yang memakan yang lemah," kata beliau yang juga Ahli Parlimen Permatang Pauh. Sementara itu, beliau berkata, rakyat Malaysia di luar negara yang akan mengundi dalam pilihan raya akan datang diingatkan bahawa mereka adalah seorang individu yang bebas memberikan pendapat mereka mengenai apa yang di tanah air dan cabaran-cabaran yang terpaksa dihadapi oleh penduduk di negara ini. Sehubungan itu, katanya, sokongan mereka amat diperlukan terutamanya untuk kembali ke tanah air demi mencurah bakti dan jasa kepada Malaysia dengan sumber yang terhad dan untuk menyalurkan keyakinan kepada ahli keluarga di Malaysia bahawa perubahan adalah mungkin dan semakin hampir untuk berlaku. Katanya lagi, semua disaran untuk terus mengemas kini Twitter masing-masing sepanjang hari untuk berkongsi pandangan sebagai usaha membina harapan dan mengembangkan tolenransi serta menenepikan pemimpin yang bersikap acuh tak acuh yang memerintah hari ini. "Satu hari nanti, kebenaran akan muncul dan sinar cahaya akan bersinar lagi dalam kehidupan kita," katanya.

Pakatan Rakyat Takes a Stab at Umno’s ‘Merdeka’ Legacy Posted: 12 Jan 2013 08:27 AM PST Malaysiakini Fifty-six years ago, Umno was etched into the history books as the party which helped free Malaysia from British colonialists, a feat which it has hitherto never stopped reminding Malaysians about. The declaration of Independence was made by Umno’s second president Tunku Abdul Rahman at Stadium Merdeka, which grew even more famous over the years by playing host to premier entertainment, sporting and national events. Today, the ageing stadium hosted yet another historical milestone. It was the site of the biggest ever rally organised by opposition parties, which no doubt helped set a new record for the 30,000 capacity stadium. If it wasn’t enough to stage a massive anti-Umno and anti-BN rally at the venue which played a major role in Umno’s legacy, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim capped off the event by chanting “Merdeka” seven times, mimicking Tunku not only in frequency but in mannerism as well. “Like how our forefathers cried out (Merdeka!), today we repeat that oath and this time, we will achieve genuine independence for the people,” he said. In an attempt to redefine the term, each time Anwar said “Merdeka”, the crowd responded with “Rakyat”. How will Umno react? Pakatan Rakyat’s antics in Stadium Merdeka is unlikely to bode well for Umno diehards, who are likely to question the sudden and unexpected liberal approach. Until today, any major rally with a hint of anti-Umno and anti-BN sentiments would have faced the full brunt of the law, with tear gas, batons and water cannons to boot. Instead, the federal government went out of its way to make sure that the rally proceeded without incident, to the extent of having the police say that their aim was to have “zero casualties” during the event. In essence, Pakatan came out looking like its support base is growing, despite the intensifying negative press about them coming from the government-controlled media organisations since the last general election. Such media organisations are going to be hard-pressed to claim that 100,000 people were paid to attend the rally, whereas Pakatan supporters will claim they braved the heat and congestion, unlike BN’s less organic approach in drawing a crowd. Looking beyond race Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s predecessors have never faced an opposition show of force on this scale before and his party will face a challenge to explain why opposition rally numbers are on the rise under his watch. During the rally, Anwar, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng offered their theories, but it was mostly centred around BN’s race-based policies. “We need to break from Umno and BN’s sentiments that only Malays can take care of Malays, only Chinese can take care of Chinese, only Indians and can care of Indians, only Ibans can take care of Ibans, and only Dayaks can take care of Dayaks. “We want to prove we can take care of everyone regardless of race,” declared Lim. Abdul Hadi also sought to reassure Malay supporters that despite the new politics being advocated, the fundamentals of the country will remain unchanged. “PAS together with PKR and DAP have settled on the principles of constitutional monarchy, Islam as the national religion, Malay as the national language and that bumiputera rights would be defended,” he said. Najib scores own goal? Pakatan’s message was best reflected in Anwar’s call to give the opposition coalition’s formula a shot. “Give us a chance because we are sensitive to the people’s voice, we are not deaf like BN,” he said. Perhaps it was this “deafness” which may have also contributed to the rise of civil society movements – such as the oil royalty campaign, Himpunan Hijau movement and the Pengerang anti-oil refinery movement – whose supporters made up a significant portion of the participants at the rally today. These groups have been growing in strength over the past four years after their pleas to the federal government fell on deaf ears. Save for the Bersih coalition, representatives from every civil society movement that took to the stage explicitly urged Malaysians to bring in a new federal government. The Najib administration may have avoided a crackdown to prevent a backlash such as in past rallies, but he is now faced with a new challenge of an emboldened Pakatan projecting its strength on Umno’s sacred turf.

Hundreds of Thousands in Malaysia Protest Against Government in Buildup to Elections Posted: 12 Jan 2013 04:56 AM PST NZ.WEEK Hundreds of thousands marched to Malaysia's historical Independence Stadium in downtown Kuala Lumpur on Saturday in a colorful, opposition-backed rally counting down to a general election due before mid-2013. The protestors were clad in yellow, green and at least five other different colors, each representing a rights group advocating causes that ranging from clean electoral roll, environmental rights, fair royalty payments to oil-producing states to the abolishment of higher education student loan. They held placards and flags bearing logos of rights groups and political parties. Police put the number of turnout at 40,000. The rally, the People's Uprising Assembly, represents an opportunity for the opposition to boost the morale of its supporters as it sought to build momentum towards the country's 13th general election. Organizers of the rally drew cheers and applauses from the crowd when they called for supporters to overthrow the ruling coalition, National Front. "I understand your rage. That is why the People's Alliance vow that we will not allow bribery and robbery against our beloved people… We plead to you to give us a chance, so that the people' s voices will become the voices of the rulers of this nation," opposition coalition People Alliance's leader, Anwar Ibrahim, addressed the crowd. He promised to improve people's livelihood, reduce the cost of living such as lowering the price of petrol and providing free tertiary education by abolishing the study loans. "This is the spirit of the people voicing out, we have to change the corrupted government to a fair one that fights for its citizen," a protestor who identified himself as Aizad told Xinhua. "I have always seen archive footage of when the country's independence is declared here and I am feeling it now the true freedom," another protestor said. "We feel proud listening to the comments by Anwar and other leaders and we hope that we can topple the government," he added. Authorities have permitted the rally to be held at the stadium, where Malaysia's founding father declared the nation's independence in 1957, but blocked a few roads leading towards the stadium for safety concerns. Protestors dispersed peacefully at 5 p.m. as police helped direct the traffic a stark contrast from the scenes of previous rallies including the most recent last April where clashes between police and protestors left numerous people injured and infrastructure damaged in the city. Police had been come under fire then for assaulting journalists and destroying their equipment when covering the rally for clean electoral roll. Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Myhyiddin Yassin had earlier rebuked Saturday's rally as having selfish agenda. Prime Minister Najib Razak, meanwhile, had a political rally of his own to attend. At a pro-Najib gathering organized by a National Front ally party near Kuala Lumpur, the premier had promised to improve the lives of ethnic minorities in the country if his administration stays in power. Najib's popularity dropped to 63 percent from 65 percent last year, according to a report released by independent pollster Merdeka Center on Thursday. The coming polls would be a cutthroat fight between the opposition and the governing coalition after the latter was dealt the worst blow in history by losing five states and a two-third parliamentary majority in the 2008 election.
