KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Socialis Malaysia will be using its “clenched fist” symbol for all elections now that it has been officially approved by the Election Commission.

Party chairman Dr Mohd Nasir Hashim said in previous general elections, it had used the logos of Opposition parties DAP in 1999 and PKR in 2004 and 2008.

He said the party would hold its three-day annual general meeting from May 29 to May 31.

Parti Socialis Malaysia, which claims 10,000 members, was founded to look into the welfare of workers, he said. [the star]

Parti Sosialis Malaysia (Socialist Party of Malaysia, PSM), is a socialist political party in Malaysia and an offshoot of Parti Rakyat Malaysia, which originally upheld the same ideology. In its first ten years following its founding in 1998, the party was notably denied registration as a political party by the Federal Government of Malaysia, the original reason given by the government is that PSM is a threat to national security, before the Home Ministry gave them the green light in June 2008.

The end of PSRM (1990)

The last socialist party to exist in Malaysia, Parti Sosialis Rakyat Malaysia (PSRM), reverted their name to Parti Rakyat Malaysia in 1990 before merging with Parti Keadilan Rakyat in 2003. The decision of PSRM to stop adopting socialism as their official ideology perhaps left Malaysia for the first time without a left-based political party.

Formation of PSM (1990-1998)

In 1991, several grassroots based organizations working with the urban and rural poor in Malaysia started to form an alliance. In 1994, they staged a massive demonstration at the heart of Kuala Lumpur surprising many people. The last major demonstration called by the working class in the capital city goes way back two decades ago.

In 1995, these grassroots organization who already had their strong bases among the plantation workers, urban poor slums and industrial workers formed an alliance and together the idea to form a political party to represent the aspirations of the poor and the marginalized was mooted. The election results in 1995 hastened this process and after years of discussion and consolidations, it was finally agreed that a party with socialist ideology was imminent to liberate the masses from their current conditions.

With this in mind, the groups took more than two and the half years to draft the party's constitution, which was ready by the end of 1997. After further consultation with the masses, on May 1, 1998, the new party known as the Socialist Party of Malaysia was officially put for registration.

Legal status

The Federal Government has refused to recognise PSM since its formation. The ruling party has rejected the party's application to register as a political party citing that PSM is a threat to national Security. While PSM activities have been transparent and open confrontation, the ruling party seems uneasy to see a socialist party in its backyard.

The right to form a political party is a constitutional right and PSM became the first party in Malaysia's history to take the ruling party and the Home Minister to court for abusing their power. Although the Court of Appeal dismissed the national security argument on 16 August 2006, which the court felt was a bad reason, it upheld another reason to deny PSM the right to be registered. This was that the party did not comply with a seven state regulation. PSM has filed an appeal against the Court of Appeal decision to the Federal Court.

In June 17, 2008, the Home Ministry approved PSM's application as a political party, ending a 10-year dispute.

1999 general election

In 1999, the party decided to contest in the year's general election. Since PSM was not registered, it had to contest under some other party's logo. In 1999, the candidates contested under a Democratic Action Party's (DAP) ticket. The main intention was to popularise the party. The party lost in its seat but managed to reduce the opponent's majority by 10,000 votes.

2004 general election
PSM candidates fielded for the 2004 general election.

In the 2004 general election, PSM had to contest on the logo of another party, Parti Keadilan Nasional (now known as Parti Keadilan Rakyat).

2008 general election

Three PSM members contested in the 2008 general election under the Keadilan ticket, and one as an independent. Two of these candidates won PSM's first ever political seats. Candidate Jeyakumar Devaraj won PSM's first ever federal parliamentary seat by defeating then president of Malaysian Indian Congress and long-serving Minister of Works Samy Vellu. PSM's president Nasir Hashim won a seat in the Selangor state legislative assembly. Their election campaigning also resulted in an increase in membership in Semenyih.

Ideology

According to their official website, PSM is only eight years old but has working experience with the masses that goes back more than fifteen years. Over the years, the party's three main front organizations had established more than a hundred sub-fronts. PSM strength lies in its work done with the masses especially the plantation workers, the urban poor, the Industrial workers and the peasants. The party also collaborates with the progressive student movement. PSM remain today perhaps the only party in Malaysia taking a class line and highlighting the plight of the poor from low wages, forceful eviction to retrenchment. The party has also made some inroads into organising union in the last two year and have working committees in around 50 factories throughout the country. While civil and political protest are carried out by the main stream political parties, PSM continues to support and organise pickets, strike and demonstration among the working class.

Seven-Point Manifesto

PSM has a seven-point manifesto which lists the following policies:

1. Workers' rights will be safeguarded (e.g. minimum wage, automatic recognition of workers unions and 90 day maternal leave).
2. The eradication of neo-liberal policies (e.g. halting privatisation of health care, education and other public necessities).
3. Stopping the Free Trade Agreement with western imperial powers.
4. Provide comfortable and humane housing for both rural and urban inhabitants.
5. Stopping racial and religious politics to foster greater unity among the people.
6. Eradication of corruption and abuse of power.
7. Stopping the destruction of the environment.

Human Rights Watch Letter to the Prime Minister of Malaysia

Re: Human Rights in Malaysia

Dear Prime Minister,

Congratulations on your April 3, 2009, appointment as Malaysia's sixth prime minister. As you know, Human Rights Watch, a nongovernmental human rights organization that monitors human rights in more than 70 countries around the world, has long raised human rights concerns in Malaysia with your predecessors.

We especially welcome your expressed "intention to uphold civil liberties" and your "regard for the fundamental rights of the people of Malaysia." To that end, we urge your government to take specific measures to bring Malaysian law, policy, and practice into line with international human rights standards.

We urge that your government promptly ratifies core international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and begin the process of bringing domestic law into conformity with these international instruments.

We further urge that you and your government give priority to the issues of arbitrary and preventive detention, freedom of expression, protection of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, and ending impunity for security forces. In the pages that follow, we discuss these issues in detail and offer specific recommendations.

Arbitrary Detention

The state of emergency in effect in Malaysia since the 1960s has been used by previous governments to violate fundamental human rights. Under the emergency, the Malaysian government enacted emergency ordinances permitting the government to pass broad and ambiguous laws that bypass judicial processes and review and effectively permit indefinite preventive detention. The Internal Security Act (ISA) is the most notorious of such laws and violates a number of international human rights standards, including the right to be free from arbitrary detention, the right to due process and to a fair trial, the presumption of innocence, as well as rights to freedom of expression and association.

Previous governments have justified use of the ISA by referring to multi-ethnic tensions. While Human Rights Watch recognizes that multi-ethnic tensions are a legitimate concern of any government, 51 years after independence, the government should not lose sight of the fact that Malaysia has a well-developed criminal justice system fully capable of dealing with multi-ethnic tensions, threats to its security, and other ill-defined activities without recourse to the extra-judicial ISA.

The official position that detention under the ISA is preventive, acknowledges that the government cannot, or has chosen not to, prosecute detainees for alleged crimes but rather extends executive power at the expense of the judiciary.

Throughout its long history, the ISA has been used to punish and silence peaceful political opponents and government critics. It has become an unfortunate and deeply embedded feature of a Malaysian political climate that stifles free expression, association, and peaceful assembly. Recent ISA political detainees include Raja Petra Kamaruddin, founder and editor of Malaysia's most popular website; Teresa Kok, an opposition Democratic Action Party parliamentarian; and the Hindraf 5. Three of the five Hindu activists remain in detention. Others once held under the ISA include prominent political leaders such as Anwar Ibrahim, former deputy prime minister and current head of the political opposition coalition; and Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, and Lim Guan Eng.

While Human Rights Watch welcomes the release of 13 ISA detainees, we are concerned that the promised government review will rebuff efforts at repeal. We are further concerned that in March and April 2009 there were three new ISA arrests and that such arrests were not formally announced, but only confirmed after reported by a civil society group. We urge that you heed the 2003 recommendation of Suhakam (Human Rights Commission of Malaysia), and promptly rescind the ISA and all other criminal preventive detention measures.

Human Rights Watch urges the Malaysian government to:

* Immediately and unconditionally revoke all emergency proclamations and ordinances that violate internationally protected human rights, including the Emergency (Public Order and Crime Prevention) Ordinance 1969.
* Abolish the Internal Security Act. Malaysia's penal code and criminal justice system are fully capable of addressing situations of internal security.

* Immediately charge or release all individuals currently held under the Internal Security Act. Assure that those charged have prompt access to legal counsel and family members and are tried in conformity with international fair trial standards.

Freedom of Expression and Assembly

Human Rights Watch welcomes your lifting of the March 23, 2009, ban against two opposition party newspapers, Suara Keadilan, published by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), and Harakah, published by Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS), and your follow-up statement that Malaysia's media outlets should not fear the consequences of responsible reporting.

However, less than a week later, your government refused to admit a reporter and photographer from Merdeka Review, an internet news website, to the press conference announcing your new cabinet. On April 14, Information, Communication, and Culture Minister Rais Yatim warned bloggers that the law would be invoked against bloggers who make unfounded allegations, and on April 19 he indicated displeasure and a review of "the role of [private] television and radio stations in nation-building."

Until legislation such as the draconian Printing Presses and Publications Act, which requires annual licensing, is dismantled and the scope of the Sedition Act is narrowed, arbitrary threats to free speech and political activity in the name of national unity will remain. In September 2008, for example, Sin Chew Jit Poh, a Chinese language newspaper, and The Sun were warned about their reporting on "sensitive" inter-ethnic issues.

Provisions of the Police Act further compromise the ability of Malaysian citizens to peacefully assemble and advocate on critical issues. License requirements for any gathering of more than three persons have been used to block rallies, large and small, whose message the government disapproves of. Peaceful "unlawful" demonstrations have been swiftly repressed through use of water cannons, tear gas, arbitrary arrests, and politically motivated trials. In 2008-09, a series of small candlelight vigils calling for an end to ISA detention were summarily dispersed. In one, on November 9, 2008, a Malaysikini videographer on assignment was roughed up and had his camera confiscated. While eight people, among them five lawyers, have recently been acquitted of charges relating to their participation in a peaceful march on December 10, 2007, International Human Rights Day, the eight should never have been charged, nor is an appeal of their acquittal by the government warranted.

Human Rights Watch urges the Malaysian government to:

* Rescind the Printing Presses and Publications Act.
* Amend the Police Act to ensure it respects the right to peaceful assembly by revoking the unlimited power of a police district's officer in charge to refuse to license or determine the conditions under which assemblies, meetings, and processions are licensed. Substitute regulations that set out reasonable and negotiated conditions for assembly and an appeal process that eliminates political grounds on which decisions to withhold permission are too often made.
* Narrow the overbroad definitions of "sedition" and "seditious tendency" employed in the Sedition Act and refrain from using the act to censor expression or to jail political opponents or critics.

Security Force Malfeasance

A culture of impunity pervades routine law enforcement by police and immigration officers in Malaysia. Recent unresolved incidents in police lockups highlight the problems of injuries and deaths in custody. Police report that there were 85 deaths in police custody during 2003-07, many of them still unresolved.

The United Nations Principles on the Effective Prevention and Investigation of Extra-Legal, Arbitrary and Summary Executions call upon governments to conduct "thorough, prompt and impartial investigation of all suspected cases of extra-legal, arbitrary and summary executions, including cases where complaints by relatives or other reliable reports suggest unnatural death." Ensuring that the police and other security officers are held fully accountable for any crimes that they commit is necessary for respect of human rights as well as for the maintenance of professionalism in the security forces.

In Malaysia, inquests move slowly-some are postponed for years-and family members are often not aware they are occurring. Common police explanations for these custodial deaths include hanging (i.e. suicide), falling while trying to escape, and natural causes. In one case, a detainee was reported to have died of "sudden fatty liver" within days of his detention. In addition to injuries that resulted in deaths, numerous other cases of physical abuse occur in conjunction with investigations of alleged crimes.

The death of 22-year-old Kugan Ananthan in January 2009 is one of a number of recent cases that point to the need for an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) as recommended in April 2005 in the Report of the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police. Although the attorney general originally classified the case as murder, no one has been arrested and the case appears stalled. The subsequent public outcry has no doubt pointed to the lack of confidence in the ability of the police, the hospitals, and the Attorney General's Chambers to investigate swiftly and impartially deaths in custody.

Substitution of the pending Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission bill (EAIC) for the IPCMC is unacceptable. The EAIC, which covers 21 government agencies, is a much-watered down version of the commission's recommendations. Among other defects, the revised bill eliminates the commission's power to initiate its own investigations even if no complaint had been received, and should it find a complaint has merit, choose the appropriate course of action. It also fails to eliminate as commissioners those with vested interest in outcomes.

In addition, the Malaysian government should:

* Implement the original Independent Police Complaint and Misconduct Commission proposal recommended by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police.
* Discipline or prosecute as appropriate all security force officers involved in incidents of abuse, including those with command responsibility.

Migrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers

Malaysia's immigration policy makes no legal distinction between undocumented migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Only those with proper documentation, including work permits, may legally enter or reside in Malaysia. All others are without protection and vulnerable to arrest, detention and deportation. The government does no screening to ascertain whether deportation poses a threat to a person's life or freedom "on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion."

Malaysia's current policy demands that asylum seekers register with the Malaysian offices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). However, impediments to effective access­­­­ deny asylum seekers "the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution" as guaranteed in article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Of particular note, the government refuses to allow UNHCR unrestricted access to migrants awaiting deportation in immigration detention centers, some of whom may be refugees in need of protection who have not had the opportunity to seek asylum.

In the context of the global economic downturn, Malaysia has halted new foreign hires and instituted a "foreign workers first out" policy that requires employers making staff cuts to terminate migrants first. Migrant workers carry large recruitment debts that they pay back over extended periods of time. Their employers should not be encouraged to prematurely terminate employment on the basis of national origin.

RELA

RELA (Ikatan Relawan Rakyat or People's Voluntary Corps) is a government-backed untrained paramilitary force whose members, in conjunction with immigration and police officers, routinely round up suspected undocumented migrants. In May and June 2008, asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants told Human Rights Watch researchers of abuses perpetrated by RELA members and immigration officers during the arrest process and in the immigration detention centers. Such abuses included physical assault, intimidation, threats, humiliating treatment, forced entry into living quarters, extortion, theft, restricted communications with friends or family, and disregard and destruction of identity or residency papers. Several Malaysian officials have excused the abuses suggesting that the number of abusers is insignificant and that reasonable force is sometimes justified. However, credible accounts from migrants indicate that force is ubiquitous and gratuitous.

Domestic Workers

Migrant workers in Malaysia include over 300,000 domestic workers, primarily from Indonesia. Excluded from key provisions in Malaysia's labor laws and subject to onerous placement fees by recruitment agents, many of these workers confront a wide range of human rights abuses, including labor rights violations such as excessively long working hours, lack of rest days, and unpaid wages; violations of freedom of movement and freedom of association; and physical and sexual abuse. In some cases these situations amount to forced labor, trafficking, or servitude.

Human Rights Watch welcomes recent prosecutions and convictions of abusive employers, but few domestic workers receive any redress. In recent years, nongovernmental organizations in Indonesia and Malaysia and the Indonesian embassy in Malaysia have received thousands of complaints from or on behalf of domestic workers. Many more cases are likely unreported given domestic workers' isolation in private homes, employers' ability to have workers summarily deported, and migrants' lack of information about their rights.

Human Rights Watch urges the Malaysian government to:

* Ratify without reservations the 1951 UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, its 1967 protocol, and the 2003 Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families and bring domestic law and practice into conformity with the documents.
* Ensure asylum seekers, refugees, trafficked persons, and abused workers are not subject to penalties imposed under the Immigration Act 1959/63.
* Allow asylum seekers the right to residence, documentation, work, and education while their claims are pending and give recognized refugees the opportunity to regularize their status.
* Facilitate UNHCR's ability to determine refugee status by allowing the agency unhindered access to detention facilities. Ensure that all detained asylum seekers and refugees are able to contact UNHCR regularly.
* Abolish RELA, and repeal all regulations under which RELA was established and its powers expanded. Until such time, RELA should be restructured as a volunteer agency with no enforcement powers and with no role in either apprehension of irregular migrants or maintenance of security in the immigration detention centers.
* Undertake independent investigations into allegations of abuse by RELA members, immigration officers, and police officers. Hold accountable the perpetrators of such abuses, including those with command responsibility.

* Extend equal protection of the 1955 Employment Act and the 1952 Workman's Compensation Act to domestic workers and create mechanisms for enforcement.
* Strengthen regulations governing recruitment agencies and include clear mechanisms to monitor and enforce standards concerning migrant workers. Oversight bodies to protect domestic workers from abuse should enjoy the power to conduct unannounced inspections of recruitment agencies and to impose substantial penalties on agencies that abuse workers or otherwise violate standards.
* Ensure employers fulfill their contractual obligations to migrant workers or pay adequate compensation.

Thank you for your consideration. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these and other human rights issues with you and with members of your administration.

Sincerely,

Brad Adams

Is there a food Crisis? Yes.

In 2004, the Asian tsunami killed 225,000 people in 11 countries. The world was inundated with images of death and destruction for months.

Today, we are faced with a “silent tsunami”. The World Bank estimates that the food crisis could push 100 million people into abject poverty. Unlike the tsunami, the crisis isn’t making headlines.

However, tensions are building. Food shortages have spawned riots in Mexico, Egypt, Indonesia, Yemen, the Philippines, Cambodia, Morocco, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Guinea, Mauritania, Cameroon, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Peru, Bolivia and Haiti.

The food crisis is a fact, not fiction. Here is a guide to help you navigate through one of today’s deadliest and most complex emergencies.

Yesterday i was very shock because i receive a email from the ADUN Pantai Jerejek, Sim Tze Tzin about a article write by MP Pantai Dalam, Nurul Izzah, who beat Sharizat in the last General Election.

This is a very good story show i promise that i will share with you all.

Here is the story...

Working For Malaysia's Future
By Nurul Izzah Anwar and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad

There has been a lot of negative attention on the Parti Keadilan Rakyat lately. We have come under scrutiny over the recent events in Perak, Kedah and now Penang. As young leaders who have faith in the party’s vision and future, we believe that it’s important to reflect on what we have achieved and examine the challenges ahead.

Keadilan is a young party, the result of a 2003 merger between Parti Keadilan Nasional, founded in 1999 and Parti Rakyat Malaysia, founded in 1955. It came about in part due to the Reformasi movement that emerged following the dismissal and incarceration of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in 1998. The movement, as laid out in the Permatang Pauh Declaration, was built on the idea of upholding the dignity of man and the need for the continuous betterment of society.

Both of us became involved in the party when the Reformasi broke out, though under different circumstances.

Izzah, who was a 17-year old university student then, was forced into the public eye as she was Anwar’s eldest daughter. Nazmi, who was a year younger and still in school, was reflecting on how the forces that were unleashed could somehow offer something new to Malaysian politics that had atrophied under Dr. Mahathir. As Izzah travelled the country giving ceramahs not only to defend her father’s innocence but also increasingly to articulate the meaning and significance of the Reformasi movement to ordinary Malaysians, Nazmi attempted to explore the possibility and meaning of a new politics for the younger generation as a writer in the alternative media.

We became acquainted in 2001, as part of a group of young Malaysian professionals finding ways as to how we could contribute to change in our country. In spite of the party’s small presence then, we were all excited and idealistic to be part of the cause to lay the foundations of a truly progressive Malaysian political party.

Three years later, the party was dealt a blow when Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hijacked our message of reform and won an overwhelming victory in polls conducted under dubious circumstances. The party was left with a solitary Parliamentary seat. Soon however, Anwar was released and engaged in a conversation with those inside and outside the party. He charted a more multiracial agenda, against the advice of many. Some were clearly discomfited by this development, and left the party. They either could not accept the shift or felt that no matter how idealistically attractive this paradigm movement was, it spelt political disaster.

But like many young members of the party, we felt that this was the right path to take, the logical extension of Reformasi. Nazmi, in particular decided to take the next step by working for Anwar after completing his studies. We were joined by experienced professionals such as Ibrahim Yaacob and Din Merican, along with talented young Malaysians such as Harvard graduate and blogger Nathaniel Tan as well as UTM student leader and Silicon Valley engineer Sim Tze Tzin.

As the 12th General Elections loomed, both of us along with Sim and Ibrahim were considered as possible candidates for seats. We were reluctant at first, but as many others refused to run under Keadilan’s banner-feeling that the party would surely be defeated- we decided to do it. Izzah was 27, and Nazmi, 26, making us among the youngest candidates in the elections.

It occurred to us from very early on that the young Opposition candidates should work together. Together with our colleagues like Tony Pua and Hannah Yeoh from DAP, we campaigned hard in each other’s constituency, drawing inspiration from the courage and conviction of ordinary Malaysians who wanted change. It was truly people’s power – Makkal Sakti – that defied the odds and trumped cynicism. We were fortunate to win our respective seats and be a part of the now legendary story of the 8th of March.

Keadilan as a result increased its Parliamentary presence from one to 31 seats. Not only that, four states along the West Coast fell to a coalition of PKR, DAP and PAS that eventually became the Pakatan Rakyat. What was more impressive and significant was that a multiracial band of MPs and state assemblypersons won on Keadilan’s ticket, making Keadilan the most successful experiment in multiracial politics in Malaysia to-date.

But the reality of victory also dawned upon us as the euphoria of the 8th of March faded away. We had to meet the manifold expectations of our constituents who voted us in. We had to ensure that the voices of the people were heard in the legislatures and corridors of power.

Nazmi and many other state assemblypersons in the five states had the added responsibility of actually governing, trying to make a 50-year establishment embrace reform and progress.

We immediately saw the limits of operating within the confinements of a governmental system that had become dominated by the executive branch. The people of Kuala Lumpur as a Federal Territory remain dependant to the autonomous and powerful KL City Hall. With no say on budget allocations and choice of Mayor, improvements in housing allocation, delivery and services remain marginal at best. They, unlike their counterparts elsewhere do not have the right to vote for a State Assembly. That is why the movement towards holding local council elections – that can and will start in Pakatan Rakyat states – must persist.

Being wakil rakyats meant that we could no longer confine ourselves to criticising from the sidelines, but actually delivering on our promises to the voters. This involved meeting our constituents that brought their problems to us continuously at all hours. This touched and exposed us to the challenges they, the ordinary men and women of Malaysia have to face each and every day and how we have to do everything within our power to help them better their lives.

We also began to realise that change is unavoidable, especially in our own parties. All political parties evolve, and this process is more often that not tumultuous. In the US for example, the Republicans were the party that freed the slaves under Abraham Lincoln. Now, the Democrats, who opposed Lincoln’s reforms in the 19th century nominated Barack Obama as their Presidential candidate in 2008, who as we know is the country’s first African-American Commander-in-Chief. Nothing is constant in politics, least of all political parties.

In Malaysia, Umno, which was once a party of teachers and village officials, is now a party of racial demagogues and crony-capitalists.

On the other hand, DAP and PAS that used to represent a narrow range of constituencies have become more open and inclusive than ever before. The example of Bukit Gantang and the many mixed constituencies that returned a Pakatan representative last year is testament to this.

The growing momentum for change is bearing down not only on Umno and the Barisan Nasional but also on Pakatan Rakyat. The former responding to this challenge by dithering and relying on the most dishonest sort of triangulation. The latter is, though the path has not always been smooth, is heeding the call.

Keadilan grew from a small coalition of people that came together during Reformasi to a Malaysian political party that is based on hope, progress and a new brand of politics.

Just over a year ago before the elections, when we campaigned across the country, many were surprised that Keadilan still existed.

When we walked up the rusty elevators in Kampung Kerinchi and Desa Mentari, we had to convince ordinary Malaysians that we could offer a genuine alternative to the government.

When we called up our contacts and acquaintances to help out, we became used to both polite and direct rejections. The path we took was certainly not the path of least resistance, but it was the choice of our conviction.

Today, Malaysians from all walks of life, including Malay doctors, Indian college students and Chinese businessmen come together in good faith in our divisions.

We have committed Christians and pious Muslims in our committees. All are eager to hoist the party flag that the people hardly recognised before.

We have unsung heroes like Muslim activist Mohamed Ali Ghazali, small businessmen S. Meng Yee and Vinod Sharma, all working behind the scenes, doing their bit for the party without any thought or expectation of reward. Our victory has made it easier now to get people come and join Keadilan, but we still have to make sure that they understand the struggle and sacrifices that the road ahead demands.

We spoke about renewable energy, economic co-operation, climate change, refugees, urban planning and public transport in Parliament and the State Assembly, but all of this was swept under the radar of the controlled mainstream media.

Our young Pakatan colleagues, including Yusmadi Yusoff in Parliament as well as Amirudin Shari and Gan Pei Nei in the Selangor State Assembly have all made an impact in their speeches that impressed everyone in the legislature. In our constituencies we have set up free health clinics, voluntary tuition centres and crime fighting campaigns by empowering the community. Yet, the mainstream media prefers to focus on sensationalised stories rather than substantive news.

Obviously, any growing organisation will have its ups and downs. Just as we should be credited for our successes, it is just as important that we must be accountable for our shortfalls.

We cannot deflect our own undoing. Some are clearly our own weaknesses, but others reflect the lack of human capital and institutional structure that is a problem across the Malaysian political spectrum. As we continue to build Keadilan and Pakatan Rakyat as a party of the future, be prepared for more ups and downs.

But we are a democratic and open organisation, and we always prefer to resolve our difficulties in the open rather than under the cloak-and-dagger of spin.

The important thing is that in spite of all the difficulties we have faced, we continue to attract the best and brightest Malaysians to push for an inclusive political party, a party that upholds our main objective of establishing a just society and a democratic, progressive and united country.

We have, stated above done a lot for the people, but we do not for one second expect them to be satisfied with just this. We do not ask for support or gratitude in return, but simply that Malaysians continue the spirit of the 8th of March and pressure the Federal Government to increase our civil liberties and political freedoms.

Malaysia’s leaders need to always listen and learn from the people, and this is something that we, the young leaders of Keadilan and Pakatan pledge to do.

The service and dedication that we have rendered to the people will continue as long as we hold office and beyond. We consider this to be the true meaning of ‘putting the people first’. We will do this even in our own house.

Keadilan is in the process of revamping our constitution to ensure that the party is able to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. We want to empower to our grassroots. Our Youth and Women’s wings too, are engaged in massive training exercises from Perlis to Sabah to build the party’s human capital for the long-term. We have sought to improve our election machinery to complement the experience of our partners in Pakatan Rakyat.

We are also open to the idea of more far-reaching reforms to devolve power to the ordinary members of the party, including having party primaries for national leadership positions or even for to select Parliamentary, State Assembly and Local Council candidates.

We can institutionalise debate as part of the campaigning for party positions. We can go further in ensuring that one of the objectives of our Women’s wing is to make the idea of having at least 30 per cent of our leaders and election candidates as women a reality.

We understand that some Malaysians might get tired with all the drama that has transpired thus far. Some might be losing patience with us. But the choice is clear between the potential of Keadilan and Pakatan Rakyat driven by the young compared to the BN’s tired false power-sharing model where the shadow of the past looms large.

Keadilan will continue to fight for change. The first battle is to fight to change ourselves for the better.

Andakah anda tahu apa yang boleh dikaitkan dengan petikan yang berbau perkauman? Sebenarnya saya tidak ingin pun nak sentuh tentang petikan ini tapi pada pendapat saya, jika Raja Petra didakwa dibawah ISA kerana petikannya, apa pula yang boleh dikatakan dengan petikan bawah? Anda nilai sendiri!

你知道吗？什么可以被归类为非常玩弄种族情绪的文章？其实我也不想去转载这一张文章的，但是看到 Raja Petra 被煽动法令下提控，那么这一篇文章又如何呢？你自己来评评理...

SEORANG BINATANG

DARI tingkap kamar tulisku kelihatan suatu lembaga terbongkok-bongkok bagaikan sedang mencari sesuatu di laman rumahku. Entah apa yang hendak dicari di pagi hari begini. Begitu tanpa suara aku bersungut di dalam hati. Dan ketika lebih lama kuperhatikan dengan teliti, jelas dan nyata lembaga yang sedang terbongkok-bongkok di halaman rumahku itu tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah seekor binatang.

Tanpa bertanggguh, kucapai parang panjang yang tergeletak berhampiran pintu dan aku segera menghambur ke tanah. Niatku tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah mahu menghalau binatang itu agar menjauhi laman rumahku. Selain tidak mahu laman rumahku yang rata dan bersih itu ditenggalakan dengan sondolnya hingga berbonggol-

bonggol, aku juga khuatir kalau nanti dinajisi oleh si baba yang kelihatan agak gemuk itu.

Hei, berambus kau dari laman rumahku. Pergilah kau bermain-main di tempat lain dan bukannya di sini. Di sini bukan tempat untuk kau bermain dan menyondol. Ini laman rumahku. Begitu tanpa bertangguh dan sambil menghayunkan parang panjang di tanganku ke kiri dan ke kanan, aku bertempik ke arah babi yang kelihatan agak gemuk itu.

Namun tempikanku itu sedikit pun tidak menggoyahkan binatang yang kelihatan agak gemuk itu. Bagaikan sengaja membuat pekak dan tuli, sondolnya kulihat diteruskan dan tanah di laman rumahku semakin banyak berbonggol dan berlubang.

Didorong oleh marah dan geram, kuhayunkan parang panjang di tanganku untuk menetak binatang itu. Namun aku terkejut besar bila sepantas itu juga tetakanku itu berjaya dielaknya. Memang kau, binatang. Pandai pula kau mengelak. Begitu aku menjerkah sesungguh hati.

Jangan ingat kau manusia maka kau boleh sesuka hati bertindak ke atas diriku. Aku juga boleh berfikir seperti kau. Meski agak perlahan, namun jelas di pendengaran berkumandang kata-kata si binatang itu.

Aku terkesima beberapa detik lamanya. Apa tidaknya. Inilah pertama kali di dalam hidupku aku berhadapan dengan seekor binatang dan binatang itu pula boleh berkata-kata.

Kenapa? Kau terkejutkah? Apa kau fikir kerana aku ini seekor binatang maka aku tidak boleh berfikir dan berkata-kata seperti kau? Kini binatang itu mengajukan tanyanya yang lain kepada diriku. Aku yang masih belum sudah dirongrong rasa terkejut masih mendiamkan diri tanpa sebarang kata.

Sebab itulah agaknya orang seperti kau berani bercakap sesuka hati dan mengatakan makhluk seperti kami ini adalah pendatang atau penumpang. Sedangkan sudah sejak lama dahulu kami sudah hidup dan hadir di sini. Kini terdengar binatang itu berkata-kata lagi.

Apa yang kau repekkan ini, hai binatang? Memanglah kau hidup dan hadir di sini sejak dulu. Tetapi untuk makluman kau sebagai binatang, hidup dan hadir kau di sini bukanlah sebagai keturunan yang menjadi sebahagian dari asal usul kami. Keturunan kami tidak pernah berbaik dan bersekongkol dengan binatang. Begitu dengan suara lantang dan tegas aku menyanggah kata-kata si binatang itu.

Tetapi kalau bukan menjadi sebahagian asal usul kau, kenapa pula ada juga yang dari kalangan kau mahu berbaik-baik dan menyokong kami? Kini si binatang itu menerjahiku dengan tanyanya yang lain.

Jangan kau fikir kerana beberapa makhluk yang bodoh dan tidak sedar diri sendiri dari kalangan kami itu maka kau fikir boleh berbuat dan bercakap sesuka hati. Bagi kami kau tetap pendatang dan penumpang. Jadi kerana itu kau tidak usahlah hendak berlagak seolah-olah kau boleh berbuat apa sahaja di sini. Sedar dirilah kau. Kalau kami sudah bertoleransi dan banyak memberi, itu tidak bermakna kau boleh sesuka hati hendak kencing dan berak di laman rumah kami. Kini masih dengan suara lantang dan tegas aku membantah.

Tetapi bukankah kami sudah pun menjadi sebahagian dari kau? Punya tempat yang sama tinggi dan setaraf dengan kau. Berhak untuk bersuara dan mendapat sesuatu sama seperti kau. Kerana kami juga sama memberi sumbangan di sini menurut cara kami. Begitu tanpa segan silu si binatang itu mendakwa sesuatu.

Sudahlah kau, binatang. Itu kata kau dan bukan kata kami. Memang orang yang tidak sedar diri atau sengaja buat-buat tidak sedar seperti kau ini suka bercakap yang tidak-

tidak, walau apa yang dicakapkannya itu bukan haknya. Kini aku menempelak si binatang itu.

Sebelum apa-apa lebih baiklah kau berlalu. Orang seperti aku tidak suka memulakan gaduh, tetapi kalau kau yang mencabar dan berlaku kurang ajar, aku tidak takut untuk bangkit melawan demi maruah dan hak diri aku.

[CNN] More cases of swine flu reported; WHO warns of 'health emergency'

(CNN) A potentially deadly new strain of the swine flu virus cropped up in more places in the United States and Mexico on Saturday, in what the World Health Organization called "a public health emergency of international concern."

The most recent reports Saturday afternoon were of two confirmed cases of the virus in Kansas -- bringing the number of confirmed U.S. cases to 11.

Those joined nine confirmed cases in Texas and California and an apparent outbreak at a private school in New York City, where officials say eight children likely have the virus.

By Saturday night, health officials in Mexico said 81 deaths there were "likely linked" to the swine flu.

Dr. Jose A. Cordova Villalobos, Mexico's Secretary of Health, said viral testing has confirmed 20 cases of swine flu across the country.

President Felipe Calderon on Saturday issued an executive decree detailing emergency powers of the Ministry of Health, according to the president's office.

The order gives the ministry with the authority to isolate sick patients, inspect travelers' luggage and their vehicles and conduct house inspections, the statement said.

The government also has the authority to prevent public gatherings, shut down public venues and regulate air, sea and overland travel.

The WHO's Gregory Hartl said the strain of the virus seen in Mexico is worrisome because it has mutated from older strains.

"Any time that there is a virus which changes ... it means perhaps the immunities the human body has built up to dealing with influenza might not be adjusted well enough to dealing with this new virus," Hartl told CNN.

[BBC] Mexico flu sparks worldwide fear

Mexican authorities have taken drastic measures to contain a new strain of the swine flu virus that has killed 81 and prompted fears of a global pandemic.

People are being urged to stay at home and maintain strict personal hygiene. Many schools, public buildings, bars and restaurants have been closed.

Non-fatal cases have been confirmed in the US and are likely in New Zealand.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that at least some of the cases are a new strain of the virus.

H1N1 is the same strain that causes seasonal flu outbreaks in humans, but the newly detected version contains genetic material from versions of flu which usually affect pigs and birds.

The respiratory virus - which infects pigs but only sporadically humans - is spread mainly through coughs and sneezes.

The WHO has warned the virus has the potential to become a pandemic.

[sinchewdaily] 廖中萊：啟動機制各入境處把關‧嚴防豬流感傳入

（雪蘭莪‧八打靈再也）墨西哥至少已有81人證實或懷疑死於新爆發的豬流感後，大馬衛生部也已啟動所有機制，疾病控制組和各級官員必須在各關卡或入境處，嚴密監督及檢查，以阻止豬流感傳入大馬。

衛生部長拿督斯里廖中萊說，豬流感在墨西哥已到了人傳人的危險地步，已不再像之前禽流感般，由禽鳥類或家畜傳染給人類，所以人民必須提高警惕，勿讓豬流感“入侵”大馬。

他在接受星洲日報詢問時說：“國人有必要瞭解和關注今次豬流感的最新情況。”

國民曾赴美墨須體檢

他指出，至於那些曾於今年4月17日或之後到過墨西哥、加利福尼亞或德克薩斯州的大馬人，必須立刻聯絡衛生部，以便該部能為他們進行體檢，確保沒有感染豬流感。他說，由於豬流感是自4月17日在墨西哥和美國爆發，因此，政府必須對他們進行檢查，以免豬流感傳入大馬。

詢及豬流感是否與爆發於10年前的立百病毒有關，他說，衛生部還未有這方面的最新消息，但肯定它是屬於一種H1N1流感（flu）病毒。

“衛生部一直與世界衛生組織保持聯繫，以便將最新的訊息公告大家。”

他表示，染上豬流感的症兆包括發高燒，而詳細資料有待最新豬流感報告出來再公佈。

Adakah Malaysia akan menganjurkan satu lagi perdebatan TV?
bacalah laporan dibawah...

马来西亚是否会有另外一个政治辩论？
看看以下的报道...

Foreign Media Allegations To Topple Najib
Rais was asked to comment on Dr Mahathir's statement that there was a continuous and concerted effort by the foreign media to put Najib in bad light as prime minister.

Rais said Najib had been linked to "laws" which could tarnish his good name by several parties, including Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders, when these were mere allegations made by the media in Europe or the United States and he believed that the allegations would die down.

"However, we must study (the situation) and if I have the chance, I want to have a debate with those trying to implicate our leader with unbecoming and nonsensical words."

On Datuk Zaid Ibrahim who was often quoted by the foreign media to run down Najib, Dr Rais said he challenged the former minister to a public debate if the latter believed that his allegations against Najib were true. [Bernama]

Ya, Rais Yatim telah mencabar Zaid Ibrahim untuk berdebat mengenai isu yang melanda Najib, maka Zaid telah bersetuju untuk berdebat...

是的，Rais Yatim 向 Zaid 下了战书，当然， Zaid 也不是好惹的，也回应了他的要求...

Zaid: I will debate Rais on any subject, anytime and anywhere
Former de facto Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has picked up the gauntlet thrown down by Datuk Seri Rais Yatim today and says that he is ready to debate the new Minister of Information, Communication and Culture.

The maverick politician's only conditions are that Rais has to specify exactly what he wants to debate and that it has to be televised.

"Yes, I will debate Rais on any subject he wants, anytime and anywhere," Zaid.

"But RTM must show it otherwise it is a waste of time." [malaysian insider]

Adakah Rais akan berlawan seperti jantan? atau biar isu ini reda supaya Rakyat lupa mengenai perdebatan ini? kita tunggu dan lihat.
Jikalau berjaya dilangsungkan maka ini merupakan perdebatan TV yang ketiga di Malaysia!

那么，Rais 是否会像男子般答应他呢？还是会让这件事不了了之？
如果有的话，那么着将会是马来西亚第三场电视辩论了，等着瞧吧！

Saya sudah dapat jangka tajuk utama media utama, sudah pasti Najib menaiki pengangkutan awam ini akan dikaitkan dengan beliau mesra rakyat dan sebagainya. Tapi pada pendapat saya, adakah "Najib Tour" ini betul boleh menyelesaikan masalah yang dialami penduduk KL sepanjang ini?

是的明天报章头条肯定会大肆宣传那吉出巡的新闻和照片。
但是，难道出来走走就解决问题了吗？
如果没有实际行动，你走几次也是没有用的。


"Najib Tour" Buat Kali Kedua Di Sekitar Kuala Lumpur

Ya, PM Najib telah melancarkan "Najib Tour" buat kali kedua di sekitar Kuala Lumpur. Najib telah menaiki LRT Star ketika perjalanannya, tapi saya rasa ini adalah pilihan yang kurang bijak, cubalah menaiki KTM (Kenderaan awam yang terkenal dengan lambat dan tidak tepat) dari Mid Valley atau KL Sentral maka saya akan memberikan tepukan gemuruh kepadanya. Adakah PM Najib akan tahan dengan perjalanan yang "panjang" dan "sesat" ini, itulah pertanyaan saya.

Saya sudah dapat jangka tajuk utama media utama, sudah pasti Najib menaiki pengangkutan awam ini akan dikaitkan dengan beliau mesra rakyat dan sebagainya. Tapi pada pendapat saya, adakah "Najib Tour" ini betul boleh menyelesaikan masalah yang dialami penduduk KL sepanjang ini?

Kalau tidak silap, Ex PM Pak Lah dan Ong Ka Ting juga pernah melakukan tindakan sebegitu tapi adakah masalah ini selesai? Sekiranya tiada langkah diambil, jalan berapa kali juga tidak dapat selesaikan masalah ini.

Sebelum ini Kerajaan pernah kata penjimatan daripada subsidi minyak yang mencecah hampir RM1Billion boleh diperuntukkan untuk pembangunan pengangkutan awam. Tapi adakah wang itu betul-betul digunakan untuk Rakyat dan penaiktarafan pengangkutan awam? tak perlulah saya tulis di sini, lihatlah sendiri.


“那吉之旅” 又在吉隆坡一代展开

是，今天那吉展开了他当首相以来第二次的首都一日游。
其实他选择乘搭轻快铁是个错误的选择，我非常欢迎如果他能坐坐 KTM （一个出名慢又不准时的交通工具）
看看他是否能忍受这个漫长以及挤满人的旅程，（对不起，如果你不幸运的话第一和第二班车是坐不到的，除非你有勇气和他们一起挤入车内）。

是的明天报章头条肯定会大肆宣传那吉出巡的新闻和照片。
但是，难道出来走走就解决问题了吗？
如果没有实际行动，你走几次也是没有用的。
不要忘记，之前我们的伯拉，黄家定（如果我没记错）都有类似的举动，但是最终都不了了之。
也有人说我国所省下的石油津贴（高达十亿）会用来改善我们的交通。
但是到底有没有改善？不用我说吧，你们因该很清楚。
那笔钱到底进入了谁的口袋也已经查不出来了。

Akhirnya perlantikan Pengerusi Perhubungan Umno Negeri telah diumumkan, tapi apa yang hairan ialah bagi negeri Terengganu, sila perhatikan name di bawah...

终于各州巫统联委会成绩出炉了，但是我感到奇怪的是，可以说国阵执政州都是由该州州务大丞带领但是就是少了登嘉楼州，看看以下的名单...


Pengerusi perhubungan Umno negeri

PERLIS: Datuk Seri Md Isa Sabu
Timbalan: Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin

KEDAH: Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal
Timbalan: Datuk Paduka Ahmad Bashah Md Hanapiah

PULAU PINANG: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi
Timbalan: Datuk Zainal Abidin Othman

PERAK: Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir (Tunggu perintah mahkamah dulu)
Timbalan: Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah

SELANGOR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak
Timbalan: Datuk Noh Omar

WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
Timbalan: Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin

NEGERI SEMBILAN: Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan
Timbalan: Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor

MELAKA: Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam (MB Melaka)
Timbalan: Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop

JOHOR: Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman (MB Johor)
Timbalan: Datuk Latiff Ahmad

PAHANG: Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob (MB Pahang)
Timbalan: Datuk Mohd Sharkar Shamsuddin

TERENGGANU: Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein (Bukan MB Terengganu)
Timbalan: Datuk Ahmad Said (MB Terengganu)

KELANTAN: Datuk Mustapa Mohamed
Timbalan: Datuk Awang Adek Hussin

SABAH: Datuk Seri Musa Aman
Timbalan: Datuk Salleh Said Keruak

Kenapa UMNO Terengganu tidak dipengerusikan oleh Ahmad Said? Adakah ini tanda bahawa Ahmad Said akan digugurkan tidak lama lagi? Tapi bagi saya ini memang tanda tidak baik untuk Ahmad Said. Walaupun Ahmad Said sudah bersuara akan berkerjasama dengan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein yang kini pengerusi bagi negeri Terengganu. Tapi adakah Idris Jusoh akan berkerjasama dengan Ahmad Said?

为什么登嘉楼巫统就是没有被州务大臣阿末赛益领导呢？难道这就是说州务大臣阿末赛益即将被卸任？对阿末赛益来说这肯定是个不好的现象吧。虽然说阿末赛益将会和希山配合，但是另外一位主角，Idris Jusoh 会那么容易放过这一次的机会吗？

MB Ahmad Said ready to work with Hisham on Terengganu

Former Terengganu Umno liaison committee chairman Datuk Ahmad Said has expressed his willingness to work with Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, who has been named the new state party chief.

Hishammuddin was the most appropriate leader to helm the party liaison committee, he said.

“I will be able to complement him in his task to restore the confidence of the people in Umno and Barisan Nasional,” said the Mentri Besar, in response to the new appointment [thestar]

Mungkinkah situasi Terengganu akan berlaku seperti yang berlaku di Perak? Adakah ini dianggap UMNO sebagai derhaka? Kita tunggu dan lihat!

看来一场斗争电影将一一上映，霹雳州危机会否在登嘉楼出现？登嘉楼事件是否是背叛王权呢？我们只好等着瞧。
