…SPR telah memansuhkan bayaran tersebut tanpa memaklumkan kepada calon-calon PAS.
>> “SPR berbuat demikian untuk membantu calon BN khususnya Umno Terengganu yang menghadapi masalah pemilihan calon,†katanya.
>>> “Kami (PAS) hanya mendapat tahu pemansuhan bayaran tersebut kira-kira jam 5 pagi tadi,†katanya, dalam sidang media selepas proses penamaan calon di Pejabat Tanah dan Daerah Marang hari ini.

To YB L K Siang,
>>Please help Pas to file ‘writ of motion’ in Election High Court.
Extracts from Jed Yoong,
Food for thoughts….
>… Husam said something about the BN calon not signing the nomination form.
>If the BN calon is disqualified, then PAS will win a seat — not sure if it’s Husam’s seat.
>> Same thing with Nik Aziz’s opponent in Pengkalan Pasir.
But his press secretary said that the SPR (Elections Commission) overruled that and Nik Aziz has to “lawan (fight)â€.
…SPR double standard ?
…So obvious SPR dirty trick seen by all on 24-2-2008.
>>To help & beg & remind BN calon “to sign later†unto the earlier blank nomination forms after nominations closed at 10am ?
>>Pas Legal advisers should remember to file a ‘writ of motion’ in Election High court tomorrow to disqualify these 2 BN calons.
“the SPR (Elections Commission) overruled that †should be punished under the Election ACT.

People like Peter Tan have no business to be in politics. They are opportunists and self-centred individuals (a very polite term indeed), hoping to glorify themselves.
How can Peter Tan, who claimed all this while to be committed to the cause and a political party, immediately curse the party just because he was not selected as a candidate? Now he is selling his soul to the devils.
The devils will indeed swallow and possess his soul.

We sincerely hope that Peter Tan returns the money totalling RM75,000 that his friends and supporters contributed for his election campaign.
Peter Tan must remember that people gave money for his election campaign not because of him but because of DAP, since he was a member of DAP.
We sincerely hope that Peter Tan’s friends and supporters will in turn re-donate the money to DAP’s election fund.

Is this ‘Parliamentart Democracy?
1) >> …the issue cropped up when an agent for PAS candidate, Dr Khairudin Abd Malik, noticed that Rafidah failed to sign one of the nomination forms.
2)>>> “She signed on the forms that she submitted to me but she forgot to sign the form that was put on display during objection period,†he said on nomination day Sunday.
>> To help & beg & remind BN calon “to sign later†unto the earlier blank nomination forms on display after nominations closed at 10am ?
>>PAS “Legal advisers” should remember to file a ‘writ of motion’ in Election High court tomorrow to disqualify this Kuala Kangsar Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz BN calon.
“the SPR (Elections Commission) overruled that †should be punished under the Election ACT.
>>…SPR double standard ?

Is this ‘Parliamentary Democracy’ ?
>> at 5.15pm that the nomination paper of two other candidates – Danny Anthony Andipai of PKR and Saineh Usau, an independent – were rejected by Returning Officer Bubudan O.T. Majalu because they were submitted after 10am.
>> However police reports have been lodged in Keningau by the rejected candidates claiming they were blocked from going to the nomination centre.
>Another SPR double standard ? ” after a mistake was made by the returning officer at the nomination centre. “

>>Since when SPR can legally allow payment of Deposit with a personal cheque?
PAS legal advisers must file ‘election writ’ to disqualify BN candidate.
More technicalities..
>>Mind you, in a number of other cases where the BN candidates were alleged to have balls-ed up with their registration forms, ‘twas only the ‘returning officers’ who saved them, in many cases not even providing any reason to the opposition why their objections were overruled and the BN candidates’ forms accepted. The Boleh-decisions ;-)
In one case Malaysiakini reported that PAS candidate Dr Lo’ Lo’ Mohd Ghazali (for Titiwangsa) objected to the nomination of BN’s Aziz Jamaluddin Mohd Tahir on the ’suspicion’ that Aziz’ statutory declaration did not contain the required stamp duty payment.
hahaha – EC chairman Abdul Rashid has been too clever by half.
It seems Aziz Jamaluddin also contravened election laws when he allegedly “paid his deposit with a personal chequeâ€. Cek calon BN di sahkan Bolehwan lah! hahaha
But the Election Commission officers – led by returning officer Che Yahya Che Soh – refused to allow the PAS team to go through Aziz’s nomination papers to verify the claims.
Che Yahya said he received directions from his superiors to the effect neither candidate are allowed look through the other’s nomination papers. What he probably meant was PAS couldn’t look at BN’s papers to see if there were indeed errors, like no stamp duty being paid ;-)
Very dodgy lah. But mind you, this is BN Boleh Land.
>> Please at all costs traced what personal cheque nos. for ‘election Writ’ to disqualify BN candidate. Later replaced with a ‘backdated bank draft’ or by ‘Cash deposit’ with ‘backdated KEW38 resit’?

A real brave ‘Patriot’.
An 89-year-old grandmother … , an independent candidate for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat.
Possibly the oldest candidate in the 12th general election, Maimun Yusuf .
The divorced grandmother of seven said she had attempted to stand for elections four times previously, but didn’t qualify because of technicalities and a lack of documentation.
>> “I want to right the wrongs and bring down the price of essentials,†she said in her thick Terengganu Malay accent.
I believe she can be a better MP than the BN Umno MPs .
She talk sense, straight to the point , from rakyat’s hearts.
How about vote her into Parliament.

Uncle Lim,
I have missed this ceramah. Wasn’t being told. Looks like I have to drop by your operation center quite often to get more up coming events. Is there any other ways to inform the public fast & easily?
Keep up the fighting spirits. I will be voting for you in Ipoh Timur & Tebing Tinggi.
Lets make a change and deny 2/3 BN majority in this coming 12th GE.

….How can Peter Tan, who claimed all this while to be committed to the cause and a political party, immediately curse the party just because he was not selected as a candidate?…
>>It is human to be angry when not selected.
Let go your frustration by all means.
>>But I urge you Peter Tan, to come back and serve DAP.
<Barisan Rakyat need you to campaign for (BR)DAP.
<Your 19 years dedication is appreciated & admired.
Let national leaders pick young face to fight the tough race for a better Malaysia.
Please continue to serve the people.
I urge you to reconsider & come back to serve your people.

To all comrades of Opposition
I work in Singapore and I have started campaigning in Singapore urging the Malaysians working in Singapore to return home to vote for the OPPOSITION irrespective which party be it DAP, PKR or PAS.
I am very sick of the corrupted BN and all the Datuks and Tan Sris pocketing the nation’s money into their pockets. Non-bumis are just second class citizens.
This time we must stand united and fight the rotten BN at all fronts. I am from Ipoh and I will return home much earlier to help DAP in whatever ways I can.
Just to let you know that most Malaysians working in Singapore they are pro-opposition, I can safely say over 90%. If we can convince them to return home to vote on 0803 the opposition will definetly fare much better in the election.
YB LKS, what is the account of the donation fund? I wish to donate some money to the fund. PLease take care of your health and do not forget to take nutritional food supplements regularly. Your health is very important. A commander-in -Chief like you cannot afford to fall sick at this crucial time.
Thank you to Fong Po Kuan who has returned to the battle front. Your return will definetly boost the morale of the DAP army. You are a fearless 3-star general who must not abandon ship when the war against BN is drumming up hotly.
To all supporters we must stand up and fight BN to the last drop of blood. The two third majority must achieve. If the opposition can achieve this mission and for the next election the opposition can form the next government.
Good Luck to LKS and Po Kuan.

To, YB L K Siang,
Food for thought… Barisan Rakyat .
Separation of powers of :
>> ‘Care taker Government’ and ‘BN component political parties’.
Can a ‘Care Taker Government’ utilise “Government Funds” :
1)to advertise & campaign on main Medias for ‘BN component political parties’?
2)to advertise extensively for their behalf on TV1, TV2, TV3, TV7,TV8,TV9 ?
3) can main Media & TVs provide free advertisement & coverage without billings ?
4) was supply bill for Election Expenditures duly passed by Lower House Parliament,
& was the same bill “duly debated” by Dewan Negara and “passed in situ” ?
5) Was Election supply bills & amount duly passed & gazetted & di wartakan ?
6)Did the last sitting in Parliament passed ” any new or additional Supply Bills” for future & further expenses to help “BN component political parties” to campaign extensively?
Just too many illogical expenses ?

News extracts.
….Sementara itu, di sidang media hari ini, Kamaruzaman turut menyatakan kini calon-calon boleh menghantar agen tempat mengundi bagi memantau proses pembuangan undi pos.
Langkah baru itu, tambahnya, diambil bagi membolehkan agen-agen calon pembangkang melihat sendiri proses tersebut bagi memastikan ketelusan.
Beliau juga mengingatkan calon-calon tentang peraturan berhubung bahan-bahan kempen. Parti-parti yang tidak bertanding di satu-satu kawasan dilarang menaikkan poster atau bendera daripada parti-part lain.
Peraturan ini pertama kali diperkenalkan pada 2004 selepas pilihanraya terdahulu menyaksikan pakatan tidak rasmi parti-parti utama pembangkang saling meletakkan lambang parti rakan kongsinya.
Beliau menjelas, walaupun calon-calon Barisan Nasional dibenarkan menaikkan bendera Umno di kawasan yang ditandingi calon MCA, pakatan pembangkang tidak diizinkan berbuat perkara yang sama.
Perbezaan ini, jelasnya, kerana pakatan pembangkang tidak berdaftar dengan SPR sedangkan BN sebuah gabungan rasmi yang diiktiraf suruhanjaya itu.

To, YB L K Siang
1)Only Symbol ” Dacing ” was registered ?
2)Did BN component politicians “register their faces” not nominated for use
together with & on BN ” Dacing “symbol ?
3)Political parties “cannot put” up any election paraphernalia in parliamentary and state constituencies where they do not have any candidates contesting.
4)EC secretary Datuk Kamaruzaman Mohd Nor said “only” parties with their candidates standing in the constituencies could put up the paraphernalia and distribute election materials.
5)To a question, he said Barisan Nasional and its components could do so as they are a registered coalition.
>> ….So file a complaint against the BN.
> as provided for under Section 24B(10) of the Election Offences Act 1954.
a)BN can use BN election paraphernalia only.
b)only “a Face “of candidate nominated can be displayed, right ?
>> Only Symbol ” Dacing ” was registered only. Right ?
>> Legally, Najib face, other BN faces cannot be displayed at all by Law. Correct?
>> Did BN component politicians “register their faces” not nominated for use
together with & on BN ” Dacing “symbol ? No ?
Can Barisan Rakyat Legal Advisers check up with Registrar of society & Election Commission on these ?
Since 1984, I doubt they ever ‘register their faces’ for use in all constituencies.
So SPR want to deny us the right to stand together as ‘BARISAN RAKYAT’ ?
Just my 6 sens.
A Legal PARADOX again ?
…
