  • DAP Members and Supporters Go Bald to Protest Money Politics Malaysian Insider May 3,2013 by Opalyn Mok
    DAP members and supporters go bald to protest money politics Malaysian Insider May 3,2013 By Opalyn Mok GEORGE TOWN, May 3 — A total of 84 DAP members and supporters shaved their heads bald at the Kek Lok Si Temple here in protest against money politics. They include six people who are standing for election in state constituencies in Penang. Their move was to express disgust with Barisan Nasional (BN)-friendly non-governmental organisation 1 Malaysia Penang Welfare Club for organising free dinners and allegedly distributing money and holding lucky draws to woo voters. Among those who went bald was Betty Chew, wife of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who also did it to support her husband in the general election. “This is not organised by the party but an individual effort by all of us to protest against the money politics BN is using to win voter support,” she said. The DAP candidates who went bald were Pulau Tikus candidate Yap Soo Huey, incumbent Air Itam assemblyman Wong Hon Wai, incumbent Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu, incumbent Berapit assemblyman Ong Kok Fooi, incumbent Datuk Keramat assemblyman Jagdeep Singh and incumbent Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Boon Poh. Lim, who was present to witness the ceremony, condemned the blatant act by certain quarters in trying to win votes. “They are doing this openly in my constituency and I hope the voters will not be bought over by their tactics,” he said. In recent weeks, 1 Malaysia dinners have been held in almost all constituencies in the state but more so in the Air Putih state constituency where Lim is standing for election.

  • 1M'sia-Penang Welfare Denies Being Funded by BN Malaysiakini.Com April 10, 2013 by Susan Loone
    1M'sia-Penang Welfare denies being funded by BN MalaysiaKini.com April 10, 2013 By Susan Loone Fending off increasing suspicion of being the funder behind BN's alleged money politics, the 1Malaysia-Penang Welfare club has publicly denied that its financial resources were in any way related to the government or political parties. The club's president, Geh Choh Hun, said that the organisation does not receive any funding from the federal or state governments or any political parties. "We are supported by a range of generous contributors who share our vision. Our integrity ensures that our supporters are protected by strict confidentiality provisions," said Geh, in a press conference in Penang today. Accompanying him was young billionaire Low Taek Jho (right) - who is popularly known as Jho Low - which some quarters believe is the personality providing the funds for the BN's election campaign, although the latter has denied it. The club had organised a huge dinner on Monday attended by 5,000 people at the Han Chiang College field, handing out donations amounting to RM2 million to three media associations and other NGOs. The three journalists' organisations - including a martial arts association - each received RM50,000, while other NGOs had been given RM5,000 each. The 1Malaysia NGO had come under the spotlight when several free dinners were held in the Pulau Tikus constituency starting about three weeks ago. DAP has been claiming that these free dinners - where donations and gifts were distributed - are an attempt to draw votes for BN candidates in the coming general election.

  • ADUN PKR Disekat Sebab Tak Buat Kerja, Kata Lim Malaysiakini.Com
    ADUN PKR disekat sebab tak buat kerja, kata Lim MalaysiaKini.com 30 November, 2017 Langkah menyekat Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Kebun Bunga dari PKR, Cheah Kah Peng daripada menguruskan pendaftaran bagi bantuan kewangan untuk mangsa banjir kawasan DUN itu bukan disebabkan sikapnya yang berbeza pandangan, kata Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng. Lim berkata, tindakan itu berdasarkan prestasinya yang lemah sebagai ADUN ketika dua kali banjir melanda negeri itu, iaitu pada 15 September dan 4-5 November. Katanya, ADUN PKR lain juga mempersoalkan pelbagai dasar kerajaan negeri tetapi mereka tidak dikenakan larangan tersebut. "Saya melawat kawasan di DUN beliau yang menerima kesan teruk akibat banjir dan ada penentangan yang hebat terhadap wakil rakyat Kebun Bunga" katanya ketika dihubungi Malaysiakini, hari ini. "Penduduk sangat tidak berpuas hati dan malah mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat kepada ADUN, pada masa sama memuji dan mengucapkan terima kasih kepada ADUN Pulau Tikus dari DAP, Yap Soo Huey kerana membantu mereka. "Malah mereka lebih cenderung untuk mengundi Yap. Jelas mereka adalah penyokong kami, jadi bagaimana kami boleh mengabaikan mereka?" soal Lim. Yap ditugaskan untuk mendaftarkan mangsa banjir di Kebun Bunga bagi menggantikan Cheah. Lim yang juga setiausaha agung DAP diminta mengulas kenyataan Cheah dalam wawancara bersama Malaysiakini, bahawa beliau bukan "pencetus masalah dan suka berkelahi" tetapi lebih berminat untuk menumpukan perhatian kepada isu besar di negeri itu. Dalam wawancara itu, Cheah berkata kelemahan dasar kerajaan negeri dalam soal pembangunan di lereng bukit serta tanah runtuh pada 21 Oktober lalu di Tanjung Bungah yang meragut 11 nyawa. Cheah adalah salah seorang lima ADUN PKR yang berkecuali dalam pengundian usul yang dibawa Umno di DUN Pulau Pinang pada November 2015, untuk menghentikan semua projek penambakan tanah di negeri itu.
