1 year ago
Stop asking why Police acted so cruelly and merciless during the Bersih 3.0 Rally as there could only be ONE reason:
They did it on purpose, to create chaos and make Bersih 3.0 looked ugly. There are many conspiracies , no one knows who is right or wrong…IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE!

FAQ on Bersih 3.0

FAQS on BERSIH 3.0
1). Do we really need Bersih 3?
Yes we do. There has been no commitment to reform before GE13. Instead we are continuously uncovering evidence of irregularities which are not being addressed.
2). Why such a rush to have it on 28 April 2012?
All indications are that the ruling party is rushing to hold the elections. If the government is genuine in implementing reform, they have plenty of time to do it as they have until June 2013 to hold GE13. We have no choice but to act quickly if we want to have any hope of reform before GE 13.
3). Are opposition political parties hijacking Bersih?
Bersih is led by civil society with endorsements from 84 NGOs. This is an NGO movement and no political party can hijack it. Members of ALL political parties are invited to participate and should participate as citizens.
4). Do you agree with anything in the PSC report?
Yes. We have outlined some of the good points in our detailed response to the 22 recommendations http://bersih.org/?p=4627. Most importantly, not even one recommendation is categorically scheduled to take place before GE 13. The key demands of CLEAN ELECTORAL ROLLS and REFORM OF THE POSTAL BALLOT have not been meaningfully met. The need to STOP CORRUPTION AND DIRTY POLITICS in relation to electoral offences and standards of conduct were not even mentioned by the PSC.
5). Is the recommendation in relation to free and fair access to media a good one?
Yes it is. However it is limited as it deals with access to media during the campaign period only. But there is nothing stopping the government from immediately ensuring free and fair access to the media if they are sincere in their commitment to reform, as they have said they are.
6). Were there any good reasons why overseas voters are not allowed to vote as absentee voters?
NO and it is simply not acceptable that the PSC have recommended a further study on this. Civil Society group have submitted detailed proposals as to how voting for overseas Malaysians may be carried out. This means that an estimated 1 to 2 million overseas Malaysians will be disenfranchised. They should JUST IMPLEMENT this demand.
7). Why is BERSIH 3.0 nationwide?
We will see Malaysians everywhere – national and global, take ownership of their right to free and fair elections and the democratic processes in the country. This is our Malaysia. We want to make it better.
8). Why is Himpunan Hijau joining Bersih 3.0?
Bersih 3.0 is a platform for all Malaysians to demand free and fair elections. Himpunan Hijau believes that without clean elections we cannot have a clean environment. We welcome their support.
9). Why are you asking for the members of the Election Commission (EC) to resign?
The EC has been and is undermining the integrity of the electoral process. They have failed in their constitutional duty to the rakyat. The resignation of the commissioners will be the first step towards genuine reform.
10). Why do we need international observers for the next General Elections?
International election observation can promote public confidence and their presence may deter and expose irregularities and fraud. International election monitoring has become widely accepted around the world and plays an important role in providing accurate and impartial assessments about the integrity of the electoral processes in a democratic polity.
Perth is ready for Bersih 3.0
1 year ago
Bersihkan Malaysia Perth (BMP) kicked off the run-up to the Bersih 3.0 rally on April 28 with a “Yellow Barbecue” in Burswood Park. About 30 people gathered on April 9 to discuss coordination plans ahead of the sit-in rally which will be held in front of the Malaysian consulate in Perth. BMP committee member, Chom Lee, told FMT that the announcement of Bersih 3.0 had triggered a “great sense of excitement” that has spread to Bersih 3.0 global locations. He noted that the online community has been abuzz with circulations of video clips, posters and songs related to the rally in a show of solidarity for Bersih 3.0. “It is absolutely delightful to see more Malaysians are standing up for democratic reforms by organising simultaneous rallies in their own global locations,” he said via e-mail.
“The next and most important step is to promote and mobilise people to attend the rally, and we’re trying our best to reach out to the 20,000 Malaysians in Perth.” Also present at the Yellow Barbecue was Tenaganita director and co-founder, Irene Fernandez, who was on holiday with her family there. In addressing the crowd, she emphasized the importance of participation in Bersih 3.0 which she called “the mother of all battles in Malaysia for democracy, freedom and justice”. Fernandez spoke of recent national issues that have led to Bersih 3.0 including the movement of pro-establishment voters into opposition strongholds and issuance of identity cards to migrants. “In spite of PSC [Parliamentary Select Committee on electoral reforms], nothing has actually happened except a lot of wool-pulling over our eyes,” she said.
“These are delay tactics by (Prime Minister) Najib (Tun Razak) so he has time to distribute more handouts, destroy the opposition’s reputation and reduce voter confidence by whipping up racial and religious conflicts.” Drawing on her experience in global advocacy, Fernandez said international support went a long way in boosting a move towards change and urged BMP to reach out to the Australian government. “It is very important for a democractic country like Australia to speak up and show that it wants to build relationships with an equally democratic country,” she stated.
“When Malaysia sees that there is concern from the outside then [they cannot deny] that there is something wrong on the inside.” To date, 20 cities worldwide, including in Japan, Austria and Taiwan, have confirmed participation and the list is expected to grow over the next two weeks. Australia itself has seven Bersih 3.0 locations nationwide and 200 Malaysians had turned up for Bersih 2.0 in Perth on July 9, 2011. The Bersih organisers confirmed last week it would hold its third – and possibly final rally before the next general election – after the PSC delivered a report that failed to address fundamental electoral issues.

Himpunan Hijau 2.0 Press Statement
1 year ago
Press Statement
By WONG TACK
Chairperson, Himpunan Hijau
27 February 2012
HIMPUNAN HIJAU 3.0 IS ON!
Finally, we have received the first response from our Prime Minister. We feel encouraged but unfortunately, the answer was not what we are expecting. Therefore, we hereby confirmed that Himpunan Hijau 3.0 is on! We realized and strongly believed that in order to have a clean environment, we need a clean government. Thus, looking at the positive partnership of Himpunan Hijau and BERSIH 2.0, we will discuss with Bersih’s Steering Committee on the possibility of organising a joint green and yellow BERSIH 3.0.
Himpunan Hijau is extremely shocked that until today, our leaders are still very much ill-informed of the actual scientific facts and danger of the Lynas project. The people do not accept the position by taken by the government and Lynas.
Firstly, the proposition is wholly disputable because Lynas has not had any prior experience operating such a project. Nor does Lynas possess a pilot-scale plant which would generate an industry-proven data to corroborate these claims. More significantly, Lynas has not disclosed official testimonials which verify the authenticity of the data. Rare earth plant like this does not appear anywhere in this globe except in China. It is wholly unrealistic to accept their claims of zero risk to the people, which is either based on China’s experience or on an hypothetical basis. Thus, if a grassroot movement like Himpunan Hijau can engage experts and scientists to conduct thorough research to obtain the true facts of this issue, why can’t the government?
Our Prime Minister’s suggestion to dump the massive amount of radioactive waste far away from habitated area is totally senseless and unacceptable! This remark from the top leadership in this country is of grave concern to the people because it reflects a shallow understanding of the ecological system and blatant disrespect of natural environment. Every inch of our motherland is a precious natural asset to our nation. The landscape of the countryside is an ecologically sensitive system of forests, rivers and food production farmlands.
Our Prime Minister must realize that the thousands of acres of land used for permanent disposal of toxic/ radioactive wastes will deprive our children and our children’s children for generations to come from getting near it for billions of years. This permanent radioactive polluting site will subject our whole nation to the risks of widespread contaminations and pollutions. So, how could our Prime Minister, at this highly crucial moment, still calls for a compromise and a search for a win-win situation? Can we allow our future generations to face this kind of unreasonable and unnecessary risks? Can we selfishly rob our children of their future?
We understand that our Prime Minister has inherited this issue from the previous administration. We understand that he may be facing pressure from certain groups with vested interest. However, we hope that he could step forward at this critical time and display his true leadership by making an honest and brave decisive decision for the people. We hope this decision will come before Himpunan Hijau 3.0. The action or inaction of the Prime Minister will be remembered for generations to come.
