Launch of BERSIH 2.0 campaign: “Tunaikan 8 Tuntutan, Barulah PRU-13”

2011-09-23T12:48:00.002+08:00

BERSIH 2.0 is pleased to announce that we are having a new campaign called “Tunaikan 8 Tuntutan, Barulah PRU-13” (Implement the 8 Demands Before GE-13). This campaign is held as a follow up to the 8 demands of the 9 July Perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0.

The campaign aims to continue spreading awareness of the 8 demands of electoral reform and to remind the government that the 13^th General Election (GE-13) should not be held before the 8 immediate demands of BERSIH 2.0 are implemented. GE-13 must not be held until the bare minimum of free and fair election is met.

BERSIH 2.0, therefore, invites all interested and supporting Malaysians to attend the launch of the campaign “Tunaikan 8 Tuntutan, Barulah PRU-13” during which we will explain further on the campaign.

Details of the Launch of “Tunaikan 8 Tuntutan, Barulah PRU-13” Campaign:

Invitation to Memorial Service for Comrade Tan Jing Quee

2011-08-11T12:11:00.001+08:00

Date: 27th August 2011

Time: 2:00pm

Venue: 1st Floor, KL Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall

Organiser: Strategic Information and Research Development Centre (SIRD)

Tan Jing Quee, a prominent lawyer in Singapore, was actively involved in progressive politics throughout the 1960s. In 1961/62, Jing Quee was President of the University of Malaya Socialist Club. In 1963, at age 24, he stood for elections representing the Barisan Sosialis (Socialist Front) and narrowly lost to S. Rajaratnam (PAP) by only 220 votes in Kg. Clam. In October of that year, he was arrested under the ISA in Singapore for leading a 48 hour general strike called by the Singapore Association of Trade Unions. His detention lasted for 3 years. Upon his release in 1966, he went to England to study law. In February 1977, he was detained again without trial for 3 months for alleged involvement in the campaign to expel Singapore’s PAP from the Socialist International.

Despite the white terror in Singapore, Jing Quee fearlessly visited ex-ISA detainees on both sides of the causeway to help them reconnect to one another and to society. He broke the culture of silence in Feb 26, 2006 during the public forum on Detention-Writing-Healing where, for the first time in Singapore, ex-political detainees publicly identified themselves and presented their alternative historical discourses.

Hence, Jing Quee is outstanding in his contribution to documenting Singapore and Malaya’s political history from the perspective of the people. Despite battling blindness and cancer in the last years of his life, he co-authored and co-edited works such as Comet in Our Sky (2001), The Fajar Generation (2009), The May 13 Generation (2011), as well as The Mighty Wave (translation) (2011).

On 14 June 2011, Jing Quee passed on at the age of 72, leaving behind a catalogue of unfinished works that he had been so determined to produce. His passing is a great loss to us all.

Come this 27th of August 2011, let’s gather in memory of Jing Quee. Among the speakers on that day are: Poh Soo Kai, Syed Husin Ali, Tan Kai Hee, S. Arutchelvan and Chow Sing Yau.

Ban on BERSIH extends to Dewan Bahasa

Kuldip Gangaram, News Network, 19 July

Kuala Lumpur, 19 July. Dewan Bahasa dan Perkasa (DBP) today confirmed that the word ”BERSIH” will be banned and taken out from the Malay lexicology. The chairman of DBP, Tan Sri Faizal Suresh Abdullah announced the decision at a press conference held at DBP’s main campus at Jinjang, north of the city.

“We are only following the Government directive. They said BERSIH is illegal, so we also follow lah. We are part of the same government, you know. From today onwards, nobody can use the word bersih. Anyone caught doing otherwise can be fined RM 5,000 or jailed for two years

or both”, stressed Tan Sri Faizal.

When quizzed by newsmen what alternative words the public could use instead of bersih, Tan Sri Faizal added “we are not stupid. We have already thought about the inconvenience this ban might cause to the public. So, we had a lab, chaired by none other than Datuk Idris Jala,

which studied the problem closely. And we came up with a brilliant alternative”.

To a question by MNN correspondent, Lattalilat Thamplom, Tan Sri Faizal said “since this problem was started by that freakin Indian woman, Ambiga, we have decided to replace the word bersih with ambiga. Very clever isn’t it”.

According to DBP "since this Indian woman started the problem, we are going to substitute bersih with her name. Clever isn't it ?"

DBP has released guidelines for this change of terminology that advises the public the right way of replacing bersih with ambiga. Extracts from the guidelines are appended below :

Contoh ayat menggunakan perkataan ambiga

Contoh 1

Cara lama

Murid-murid perlu menjaga kebersihan bilik darjah masing-masing

Cara baru

Murid-murid perlu menjaga keambigaan bilik darjah masing-masing

Contoh 2

Cara lama

Pantai itu sungguh bersih

Cara baru

Contoh 3

Cara lama

Kamar itu dibersihkan oleh orang gaji saya

Cara baru

Kamar itu diambigakan oleh orang gaji saya

Contoh 4

Cara lama

Cuci bersih

Cara baru

Cuci ambiga

MNN has been reliably informed that many Local councils are now

considering using the AMBIGA rating system for assessing cleanliness

of restaurants. Instead of the conventional A, B and C or star

ratings, restaurants may be rated 1Ambiga, 2Ambiga or 3Ambiga.

A Letter From The World To Malaysia

2011-08-02T18:16:00.003+08:00

YAB Datuk Seri Mohd. Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, Office of The Prime Minister, Main Block, Perdana Putra Building, Federal Government Administrative Centre, 62502 Putrajaya, MALAYSIA. Tel : 603-8888 8000 Fax : 603-8888 3444 Email: najib@1malaysia.com.my

(Date)

A LETTER FROM THE WORLD TO MALAYSIA

Dear Prime Minister of Malaysia,

We are writing to you over concerns raised by the people of Malaysia, in particular those who live in Pahang state, over the construction of a rare earths processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan. We are also sending this letter as a sign of support/solidarity for groups that are working tirelessly to bring this issue to the mainstream of discussion, and rightfully so, given the magnitude of serious health and environmental impacts that radiation from processing rare earths is known for.

While we are aware that Malaysia has through various laws and policies set stringent standards for the industrial sector, we are not convinced that the decision to allow Lynas Corporation Ltd of Australia to set up a rare earths processing plant in Pahang was done in a transparent manner. Despite policies that recommend a Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) for most large scale projects, Lynas Corporation was only required to conduct a Preliminary Environmental Impact Assessment for what is slated to be the world’s largest rare earth refinery, and one that will meet one-sixth of global demand for material crucial for high technology products. A Radiological Impact Assessment (RIA) was done in a hasty manner only after construction for the refinery had started. Based on feedback we have received, the narrow scope and poor technical information in the two assessments have failed to address many crucial environmental and health risks associated with the refinery. We also note with deep concern points raised by the esteemed Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) that the open-air waste storage model for the plant would allow radioactive particles to “dust the environment,” increasing the chance of nearby communities inhaling it. The MMA stated that the RIA does not include assessment on internal radiation which is crucial as radioactive waste products are mainly alpha emitters, adding that alpha particles can cause cellular damage and increase the likelihood of cancer if inhaled or digested. An estimated 700,000 people live within a 30km radius of the plant, with the closest settlement just two kilometres away, and the South China Sea, an important fisheries source, is a mere five kilometres away. Their lives are surely more precious and invaluable than a rare earths refinery. It is also very disheartening that while Lynas gets a 12-year tax holiday, the local fishing community will lose their livelihoods.

We would like to bring to your attention that the plant will produce 22,000 tonnes of rare earth oxides yearly, producing enough heavy metal and toxic substance waste including 106 tonnes of radioactive thorium, to fill 126 Olympic sized swimming pools annually. The plant will draw water from the Balok River, and every hour, 500 tonnes of waste water will be discharged back to the same river which flows to the South China Sea. We cannot stress enough that radioactive materials have the ability to contaminate air, water and the food chain unnecessarily creating risk of cancer and birth defects.

Further, we are shocked that Japan’s Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, part of the same conglomerate of companies which owned the Asian Rare Earth (ARE) plant in Bukit Merah in another Malaysian state called Perak, has taken a RM1 billion stake in Lynas Corporation, as reported in July by the Dow Jones Newswire. Mitsubishi Chemicals, which is part of the Mitsubishi Group, was forced to shut the ARE plant in Perak in 1992 following public protests over radiation pollution. Today, almost 20 years on, the company is still involved in a USD100 million clean-up as radiation is still being linked to diseases such as leukaemia, which has killed seven people in the area in the last five years. Malaysia has already had the misfortune of dealing with one environmental and health disaster, and it is the responsibility of the Government to not put its people through another potentially dangerous project. Yes, development is important, especially for Malaysia’s growing and increasingly vibrant economy, but it is also the country’s moral obligation to draw the line on foreign investment which has failed to be transparent from day one. We ask you YAB Prime Minister, to please put the health and interests of your citizens first. Groups in Malaysia have reached out to us because they feel that despite their best efforts to voice their grievances, their message has not reached you.

Let us assure you that we are aware the Malaysian Government had after public outcry approached the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct an independent expert review of radiation safety aspects at the said plant. Subsequently, the IAEA came up with 11 recommendations that Lynas should adhere to before obtaining operational approval. Of these, three including for a long-term waste management plan have to be met before a pre-operational license can be issued. Unfortunately, it had gone unreported to the public that Lynas submitted its long-term waste management and decommissioning plans to the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation on 18^th July 2011. As of the end of July, neither AELB nor Lynas have disclosed these plans to the public, and sadly, they did not engage local communities in formulating them. This is in clear contradiction of the IAEA’s recommendation that “the AELB should enhance the understanding, transparency and visibility of its regulatory actions in the eyes of the public.” It is also critical to highlight that Lynas seems confident the refinery will start operations soon, based on its announcement on 13^th July 2011 that it has awarded construction of phase two of the plant to Toyo-Thai Corporation for a sum of USD180 to 210 million. This was done before their plans were submitted to the AELB.

We would also like to bring to your attention that there are groups in Australia, including the influential Green Party, that have expressed concern over the shipment of material that contains radioactive thorium through the Perth suburb of Kwinana for processing in Kuantan. Mr Robin Chapple, a Green Party Member of Parliament for the vast Mining and Pastoral Region of Western Australia, said the Premier for Western Australia, Mr Colin Barnett has repeatedly stated he does not wish to see uranium exported from ports in his state, and by that token, Mr Chapple hopes the Barnett Government will not want to be “complicit in the dumping of radioactive waste in another country.” Senator Scott Lulam of Western Australia has also spoken out against the plant, including by writing a letter to Mr Nick Curtis, the CEO of Lynas.

Mr Prime Minister, the facts are clear and we believe you will make the right decision for Malaysians, especially those who live in Pahang. We hope you will reconsider allowing a rare earths plant to operate in your country. While we understand that the plant will add to Malaysia’s revenue, Malaysia is mature enough to look for other sources of income, and to strengthen existing sectors including tourism and fisheries which can provide more jobs and sustain livelihoods. You are in a privileged position to decide wisely in the matter we have brought up.

Yours sincerely,

Name

As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushed to him and asked for his autograph.

Instead, Spielberg gave him a slap on the face and said,
"You Chinese bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."
The astonished Chinese man replied,
"Chinese did not bomb your Pearl Harbor, it was actually the Japanese."
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same." responded Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese man gave Spielberg a slap on the face and said,

"You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship."
Shocked, Spielberg replied,
"It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me."

The Chinese man replied,
"Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

I would like to thank everyone who is supporting us by the hours, prayers, urgent appeals etc. The 6 of us have not broken any laws and our crime is that we are socialists and we are attempting to put the issues affecting the poorer 60% of Malaysians in the national agenda. eg. Hospital privatization,minimum wage and decent wages.

Our detention is totally unwarranted and we are working within the democratic framework. “Udahlah “the pamphlet distribution call for people to think properly for the General Election. The action and activity is totally within the democratic space allowed by Constitution. Sad to see, higher ups in police unable to differentiate nation and constitution from the party of power .

Name Your Dog SEX?

2011-07-04T01:47:00.002+08:00

Folks generally aren't very creative in choosing names for their dogs.
That's why there are so many named Rover and Spot.
But, have you heard the plight of the fellow who thought he'd be cute and named his dog Sex?

It goes like this:

"One day Sex and I took a walk and he ran away from me. I spent hours looking for that dog.

A policeman came by and asked what I was doing in this alley at midnight? I told him I was looking for Sex.
My case comes up next Tuesday."

"But, that ain't the worst part. One day, I went to the town hall to get a dog license for Sex.

The clerk asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a license for Sex. He said, 'I'd like to have one, too.'

Then, I said, 'You don't understand. She's a dog.'

He said he didn't care how she looked.

When I told him I'd had Sex since I was 5, he said, “You must have been an early bloomer."

"When I decided to get married, I told the minister I wanted to have Sex at the wedding. He told me I'd have to wait until after the wedding.

When I protested that Sex had played a big part in my life and that my whole life revolved around Sex, he said he didn't want to hear about my personal life."

"After my wife and I were married, I took the dog with us on the honeymoon. When I checked into the hotel,

I told the clerk I wanted a room for my wife and wanted one for Sex.

She said. 'Every room in the hotel was for sex.'

I said, 'You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night.'
The clerk said, 'Me, too.' "

"When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog.

When I told the Judge I had Sex before I was married, he grinned and said, “ Me. too."

"Now that I've been thrown in jail, married, divorced and had more trouble with that dog than I ever imagined,

I'm in counseling. My psychiatrist asked me what my problem was. I said 'Sex has died and left my life. It's like losing a best friend and I'm so lonely,' I told him.
He said, “Look, you and I both know that sex isn't man's best friend. Get yourself a dog."

BERSIH 2.0 hopes that residents of this area will attend our road shows to find out for themselves why electoral reform is needed in Malaysia. BERSIH 2.0 merchandise will be available at the road shows.

Global Solidarity
During the launch of the rally on 19 June 2011, BERSIH 2.0 announced that there will be rallies held in UK and Taiwan in solidarity with Perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0.

All the overseas solidarity rallies held were initiated by Malaysian citizens living abroad who supported the demands for Perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0. They personally contacted BERSIH 2.0 and expressed interest in organising a rally where they were. We regard this wide interest by the Malaysian diaspora as an indication that Malaysians from all walks of life believe in the need for electoral reform and the upholding of democracy.

We would like to announce that there are rallies confirmed in more countries:

1. Korea
Date : 9 July 2011
Time : 3.00pm
Venue : Malaysian High Commission, 4-1 Hannam-dong, 140-210, Seoul

c. New York City

BERSIH 2.0 calls on all Malaysian citizens living in UK, USA, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Australia to attend the rallies if they too believe in the need for clean, free and fair elections in Malaysia. Malaysian citizens living abroad should rise to the occasion and demand for their right to vote via postal ballot in the upcoming 13th General Elections.

PSM to mobilise for July 9 rally

2011-06-17T18:58:00.001+08:00

As endorsed in the Party’s National Congress on 5^th. June 2011, PSM would mobilize its members, front organizations and people based organization to participate in the 9^th. July rally called by BERSIH 2.0.

Freedom of Assembly and rights to expression are fundamental human rights and PSM calls upon all quarters to respect these rights. These rights and freedom cannot be confined to the walls within the stadium as proposed by the Home Minister and hence we will be there in the streets to celebrate the call for democratic reforms in Malaysia.

PSM calls upon the police especially the newly appointed Deputy IGP not to be overly excited and overzealous in dealing with the BERSIH rally. The court has declared that the BERSIH 1 rally on November 10, 2007 was peaceful and released all those detained. BERSIH has now a track record and so it is now up to the police and any other parties planning a rally on the same day to maintain peace and order.

We call on the police to act in the most professional way in dealing with the upcoming public assembly.

The Police should dialogue with SUHAKAM if they are unsure what constitutes a violation of rights and ensure that the police maintain the peace and not violate it.

PSM looks upon July 9^th. as an important juncture in our nation history. It is a day devoted to democracy and fair elections. We call all people who are for democracy and fair election to come out and support the call for democratic and fair elections. History has taught us that the struggle for democracy and freedom does not come in a silver platter. The march will have to go on.

STOP LYNAS

2011-06-17T16:11:00.000+08:00

Dear Sir/Madam,

I, Tan Bun Teet, am the current Chaiperson of SAVE MALAYSIA STOP LYNAS Movement,Kuantan.

We are organizing a one day seminar on potential threats and hazards posed by the world largest Rare Earth processing plant at Gebeng, on the 26th June 2011 (Sunday) at SWISS GARDEN KUANTAN.

We are deeply concerned with the potential repercussions of having such a plant anywhere in Malaysia as its radioactive industrial wastes will eventually enter our food chain through seepage to underground water from the storage facilities.The site where Lynas Advanced Materials Plant is situated was once a swampy area and even at this time of writing, it is still surrounded by wet swampy land all around.

We earnestly hope that you will lend us the support we need to help us disseminate the correct information about its potential risks to the people throughout Malaysia so as to bring to bear pressures on our government to reconsider granting Lynas the license to begin its operation.

We shall provide all outstation participants with hotel accommodations.

We hope you will consider attending this seminar for the sake of our future generations as the industrial waste from rare earth processing leaves behind a substance called Thorium which has a half life of 14.05 billion years.

Please let us know your decision before 22nd June 2011 (Wednesday).

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours truly,

Tan Bun Teet

Chairperson

RESOLUTIONS PSM's 13 NATIONAL CONGRESS 3-5 JUNE 2011, Sg. Siput, PERAK

2011-06-17T10:25:00.006+08:00

1. The Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) voices its strongest objection to the continuing price increase of essential goods, public transport fares and basic amenities as it is oppressive and heavily burdens the people. In the same tone, the PSM demands that the government immediately stops all actions aimed at reducing or withdrawing subsidies to ordinary Malaysians and asks that the government reinstate subsidies to the original status.

2. The neo-liberal policies of the Barisan Nasional government continue to erode the rights and interests of the people. All public services such as health-care, education and transportation now face the threat of neo-liberalism that burdens the ordinary people. In this context, the PSM feels that the PTPTN study loan has been abused by private businesses and ought to be dissolved. In its place free education at all levels should be introduced.

3. The PSM calls for the demands of workers to be fulfilled without delay. A Minimum Wage Act which sets the minimum wage at RM1,500 should be enacted without any more excuses from the government. Apart from that, the government should implement the workers retrenchment fund to protect workers during times of capitalist crisis. The PSM also urges the government to increase welfare and social security (SOCSO) benefits to people in need and open branches in every town so that the public has easy access.

4. Housing for the poor and low income category must be given priority in the nations development agenda. The massive problem of maintenance of low cost flats in the country must be seen as a national issue and given due attention. The government must view seriously this long-festering issue and take immediate steps to resolve it.

The PSM also urges the government to put an end to all forced eviction of urban pioneers, estate workers and farmers, and instead make provisions to provide adequate and secure housing for the marginalized. The government is urged to implement adequate and affordable housing for the low income.

5. The system of general elections must be reformed to reflect the principle of ‘one person one vote’ so that the number of voters in one constituency (parliament or state) doesn’t differ markedly from another. The PSM recommends that the difference in voter size between the largest electorate and the smallest, should not exceed 10%. The PSM also supports the demands of BERSIH and urges the EC to ensure the clean and transparent conduct of the general elections in order to uphold democracy. The PSM once again urges the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat governments to implement local government elections.

6. Serious attention must be given to environment friendly development . The PSM demands that all nuclear energy projects be called off and replaced with alternative sources of energy such as solar, wind and water.

7. Corruption, abuse of power, wastage, racism, and dirty and disgusting politics continue to be the main features of Barisan Nasional rule, and the PSM proposes a radically different type of politics based on transparency, principles, sustainable and professionalism. The government should also stop wasting the people’s money on purchasing military armaments and instead use it for the welfare of the people.

8. PSM recognises that Bahasa Malaysia is the official national language, and urges that the government respect and treat with equality and fairness all other mother-tongue streams of education. The PSM supports the campaign to restore the citizenship status of the late mother tongue education fighter, Cikgu Lim Lian Geok.

9. The PSM objects to the Malaysia- Australia refugee exchange plan that treats refugees as barter goods. The government should ratify the 1951 Convention on the Rights of Refugees and provide protection and equitable access to healthcare, education and employment.

10. The PSM demands the abolition of all draconian laws such as the ISA, Emergency Ordinance, Sedition Act, Printing and Presses Act and University and University Colleges Act.

11. The PSM supports the uprising of the people of the Arabian nations against dictatorial rule. The PSM opposes the socio-economic system that enriches the capitalist class at the expense of the poor. In our own country, the PSM supports the BERSIH 2.0 gathering planned for 9 July 2011, and exhorts all Malaysians to take part in large numbers to further the struggle for democracy in Malaysia.

INVITATION TO SUARAM PRESS CONFERENCE: LAUNCHING OF ‘OPS SCORPENE’

2011-05-27T10:20:00.003+08:00

SUARAM will be holding a press conference to launch our fundraiser campaign, “Ops Scorpene”. The campaign is aimed to raise funds in order to pursue the ongoing litigation stages in the French Courts with regards to the judicial investigation into the French company DCNS whom allegedly paid an amount in commissions to Perimekar, for the purchase of the Scorpene submarines.

In December 2009, SUARAM linked up with leading human rights lawyers in France, to file a complaint with the French judicial system, hoping that preliminary investigation would be initiated. SUARAM has been monitoring the scandal building not just surrounding the mysterious and horrendous death of Altantuya Shariibu, but her role and involvement in the procurement of arms for the Malaysian government, leading to her gruesome murder.

In April 2010, the lawyers representing SUARAM, informed us that the courts had accepted the request to investigate the claim of corruption for a payment amounting to Euro 114 million made as commissions from DCNS to Perimekar, a company formed solely for the purpose of receiving said commissions.

The Pastor's Ass

2011-05-25T22:39:00.007+08:00

The Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in another race and it won again.

The local paper read:

Pastor's ASS OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES Pastor's ASS.

This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Pastor to get rid of the donkey.

The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The Bishop fainted.

He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS HER ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The Bishop was buried the next day.

ALERT ! HAVE YOU OBSERVED THIS ?

During POLLING DAY, when it was your turn to COLLECT your BALLOT SLIP,
you present your IC.
Your name will be call out. Very Normal.
Your LISTING NUMBER will also be called out. Perfectly NORMAL.

Now what is ABNORMAL is the OFFICER who hands you your ballot slip.
He will LIGHTLY WRITE (in pencil) your LISTING NUMBER ON THE BALLOT PAPER !
This is HIGHLY IRREGULAR and in essence , is ILLEGAL ! Your ballot slip can
be classified as DEFACED AND HENCE "SPOILT" ! NOTHING ELSE BUT AN " X"
should be on the BALLOT SLIP IN THE BOX OF YOUR CHOICE - BY ONLY YOU !

They are SELECTIVE on whose ballot they write on.

This was relayed to me just now at Giant, by an elderly man of 67 yrs old,
who has been voting many times and observing the same thing happening. He
usually bring along an ERASER.

Those of you who are voting this coming election be it State or National,
please take note - and take care. Bring your eraser with you. If you see an
officer writes ANYTHING on your BALLOT SLIP, bring this matter up to PARTY
OBSERVERS AT THE POLLING CENTRES.

1. To unconditionally set free over 2,000 political prisoners.
2. To immediately cease all kinds of human abuses which have already pushed the entire people into extreme poverty and salvation.
3. To immediately implement the concept of national reconciliation through out a new Pinglong initiative.
