Mass Rally by BERSIH
Sekretariat Gabungan Pilihanraya Bersih dan Adil (BERSIH)
4A Jalan Sepadu, Taman United, 58200 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (03) 7980 6571, Fax: (03) 7980 2697, URL: www.bersih.org
The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (BERSIH) will hold a mass rally on 10 November (Saturday), starting from 3 pm, at Dataran Merdeka to press for electoral reform. A memorandum will be subsequently submitted to the Yang Dipertuan Agong.
This latest citizen action organized by BERSIH will demonstrate the growing public demand for the four immediate actions necessary to reform the flawed electoral process: (a) a thorough clean-up of electoral rolls; (b) the user of indelible inks to prevent multiple voting; (c) the abolition of postal voting for military and police personnel; (d) fair access to mass media for all parties and candidates.
The memorandum to be submitted to the Yang DiPertuan Agong will outline both immediate and long-term reforms needed in the Malaysian election process including the adherence of "one-person one-vote" principle.

Sapa nak join ni? Aku masih ingat perarakan bantah kenaikan petrol di depan KLCC dulu. Aku sokong bantah, tapi tak join pun walaupun ia lalu depan opis aku jer (Jalan Ampang). To aku personally rasa susah gomen nak control harga minyak, sbb crude oil sentiasa naik jer. Kalau opposition jd goverment pun mungkin sama je.
To still gomen can do sth to compensate the petrol hike, such as in education, medication, etc. but the corruption & cronism eat them all.
mat yie, aku rasa kalau government show they do something good with the money takpe....
ckp hari tu minyak naik because nak improve public transport kat KL.. takde plak nampak perkembangan apa2 pun kat KL ni..
another thing, tengok la kontrak million or billion pergi kat sapa..
just my two pence
Mat Yie, i think pasal harga minyak tu memang tak boleh control, after all its world price. Tapi apa yg orang marah is duit yg patutnya 'save' sebab subsidi minyak kurang tak digunakan dgn cara yg dijanji. Lepas tu gomen selalu kata takde duit nak subsidize, tu yg harga minyak naik, petrol naik, harga barang2 lain naik tak terkawal. Tapi bila bab mega projek, pembaziran, ada plak duitnya. Ada plak duit nak beli private jet utk paklah, ada plak duit utk sponsor monsoon cup, ada plak duit nak hantar spaceman (you really believed the russians gave it for free?? Nothing in life is free!!), dan bermacam2 lagi. And poor planning costs the money to flow down the drain, compensations paid in millions and billions due to cancelled projects like jambatan bengkok, tapak pelupusan sampah etc, not mentioning that contracts are given to cronies who cant do the work causing abandoned and poorly done projects, like the hospital/pejabat bocor, infrastructure badly maintained etc. And lets not talk about the stupid agreements that the govt signs with the cronies that costs us, like the toll agreements, electricity agreements, so basically we're always on the losing side (jgn mimpi tol takkan naik, semua drama je). If the money is well spent, rakyat akan faham yg memang kerajaan takde duit. Dulu kita selalu dengar projects in millions, but now billions is also a norm.
