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

In an effort to promote Clean and Fair Election, Tindak Malaysia will be organizing an open forum entitled How Clean will the 13th General Elections be? to be held at the PJ Civic Centre Auditorium, at 8.30pm next Tuesday April 24, 2012.

Its founder, Wong Piang Yow said the public forum is part of raising public awareness among fellow Malaysians on election reforms.  This comes in light of the Prime Minister’s pledge on ntv7 on 9th Apr 2012 to hold clean and fair elections.

“We have set the platform for both BERSIH 2.0 and the Election Commission to present their case,” he said. “We will also invite all television channels to broadcast this “live” on their channels. To complement this, we will also put this online on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.”

The invited guests are from the Election Commission, BERSIH 2.0 Steering Committee, academician and political analyst, Dr Ong Kian Ming, and the Election Commission Chairman, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

The moderator will be Syahredzan Johan, the Chairperson of the Bar Council Constitutional Law Committee.

“We would really look forward to the participation of the Election Commission Chairman to have a meaningful exchange,” Wong wrote in a letter addressed to the Election Commission Chairman, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof.

Tindak Malaysia is a civil society movement to promote Free and Fair Elections through voter education. Recently, together with the BERSIH 2.0 Steering Committee, it submitted Memo 2 containing a list of proposed amendments to the electoral laws and regulations to the Parliamentary Select Committee.
