DAP has appointed a panel of four MP-lawyers headed by Ramkarpal Singh (Bukit Glugor) and comprising Teo Nie Ching (Kulai), Lim Lip Eng (Segambut) and Thomas Su (Ipoh Timor) to defend political analyst Wong Chin Huat for breaking the embargo on the Election Commission’s Constituency Redelineation Report.

Chin Huat broke the embargo at a public forum on “How Malaysia’s Elections Are Being Stolen” in Kuala Lumpur today and released the Election Commission’s report in full on NGO ENGAGE’s website.

Chin Huat said he was compelled to break the embargo as the contents of the report would have “disastrous” implication and he was breaking the law for the sake of the country.

I commend Chin Huat for his patriotic action, which reminded me of Gandhi’s Salt Protest and Salt march in March 1930, which started with Gandhi’s act of non-violent civil disobedience against British colonial rule to produce salt from the seawater in the coastal village of Dandi (now Gujarat).

I agree with Chin Huat that there is no acceptable reason for the imposition of an embargo once the Election Commission’s Report had been tabled in Parliament last Thursday. Read the rest of this entry »

Will Wee announce that he is totally convinced of his discovery of a RM20 billion undersea tunnel scandal in Penang and will contest in one of the three MCA parliamentary seats to highlight it?

Posted by Kit in MCA on Tuesday, 27 March 2018

MCA Deputy President Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong is indeed creating history in his almost daily attacks on the DAP.

So far, he is sole MCA or Barisan Nasional Minister/MP who knows anything about the RM20 billion Penang undersea tunnel corruption scandal.

It is reported that Wee is poised to take his RM20 billion tunnel war to Penang on Friday 30th March in a MCA forum in Bagan.

Will Wee announce that he is totally convinced of his discovery of a RM20 billion undersea tunnel scandal in Penang and will contest in one of the three MCA parliamentary seats in Penang to highlight and convince Penang voters about the RM20 billion tunnel scandal and the need to save Penang from such scandal from the DAP and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng?

I do not want to ask Wee to contest in Bagan against Guan Eng. It is up to him to choose one of the three MCA Parliamentary seats to contest, as apart from Bagan, MCA also has Bukit Mertajam and Bukit Glugor to choose from. Read the rest of this entry »

Will Najib be the first to be charged under the Anti-Fake News Act 2018 for the fake news that he has been cleared by Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of any wrongdoing in the 1MDB scandal when it is passed by Parliament?

We have before Parliament a most monstrous and pernicious Anti-Fake News Bill, which undermines the Federal Constitutional guarantees on fundamental liberties in particular Article 10 on freedom of speech and expression, which will destroy the Malaysian Dream of all Malaysians down the generations that Malaysia will mature into a normal democracy.

On top of the epithet of a kleptocracy, Malaysia will be known worldwide as a democracy which had regressed into an autocracy, although retaining the external trappings of a parliamentary democracy.

It is no wonder that the Anti-Fake News Bill 2108 is unanimously regarded by all journalists worth their salt as the biggest ever threat to press freedom once it becomes law.

In fact, even former information minister Tan Sri Rais Yatim is shocked by the wide-ranging implications of the Anti-Fake News Bill, calling on the public to scrutinize it, which is clearly impossible if the Bill is to be rushed to become law before the 14th General Elections as one of the ultra-weapons against the Pakatan Harapan and civil society and to save the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s political life.

Rais has presciently warned of the wide implications of the Anti-Fake News Bill on the government, groups, NGOs and individuals, pointedly asking what would happen if “fake news” came from the government. Read the rest of this entry »
