Tindak Malaysia invites EC to forum with Bersih

Forum: “How Clean will the 13th General Elections be?”

On 19th Apr 2012, Tindak Malaysia invited the Election Commission Chairman, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, to an open forum entitled How Clean will the 13th General Elections be? to be held at the PJ Civic Centre Auditorium, at 8.30pm Tuesday April 24, 2012. So far, we have not met with a response from the Election Commission. Possibly, the Chairman was too busy rushing the Election Offences Act through Parliament, during its last day of sitting on 19th Apr 2012.

Without prejudice, avarice, corruption, fear or favor

MALAYSIA continues to face some of her darkest moments as a nation.

Over the past months, the lack of political will to mitigate racial and religious intolerance has naturally given rise to ideologues, extremists, and radicals.

All these are no different in essence from the keris-wavers and cow-head trampling demonstrators we saw a few years ago.

How one can rant and rave and threaten bloodshed and yet walk the streets a free man, whilst those who merely wear yellow T-shirts can be arrested, is most incomprehensible and unfortunate.

Bersih says will march on without permit
