Ordinary Malaysians took on the herculean tasks of analyzing and breaking down the poll figures.

Foong Li Mei This, to REFSA, is evidence that 5 May 2013 did change Malaysia.

It stirred Malaysians to take charge of the information we have and break it down for the masses, mobilise mass protests against alleged polling Sandra Rajoo fraud, and reach out to the rural folks to find out what drives them to still vote for Ong Kian Ming BN. In short, Malaysians are doing for themselves the things that previously only Leong Wai Kuan a small minority in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) did. REFSA welcomes this.

  • Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr
    Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr. Kelvin Yii, Member of Parliament for Bandar Kuching I thank you for your questions and your efforts in increasing registration among people in your respective constituencies. I will take your questions in turn below. 1. What is the geographical distribution of those above 60 who have yet to register for the COVID19 vaccine? Currently, registration for those above 60 stands at 40.1%. It ranges from 56.8% in Putrajaya, to 22.9% in Sabah. For States with low registration numbers such as in Sabah, Kelantan (25.1%), Terengganu (29.4%), Kedah (30.9%) and Pahang (31.5%), we are working with MKN, NADMA and the state governments on an outreach programme to encourage people to register, particularly for senior citizens. The outreach programme is not only to help them register for PICK but also to convince them on why it is important for people their age to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We also assure them that the vaccines are safe, effective and if they have any religious concerns, we also reassure them that the vaccines are halal. We are also working with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development to register and vaccinate residents and caregivers at elderly care homes. Mobile vaccination teams will be sent to the care homes to vaccinate on site. 2. What steps have been taken to work with state governments in order to increase the vaccine registration rate? I have spoken to all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers virtually over the last month and a half.

  • Ambiga Barred from UM Talk; Law Students Submit Memo Free Malaysia Today 7 April 2014 Oleh P Ramani
    Ambiga barred from UM talk; law students submit memo Free Malaysia Today 7 April 2014 Oleh P Ramani KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Universiti Malaya law students handed a memorandum to Pakatan Rakyat members of parliament today to voice their dissatisfaction on academic freedom. According to Richtuyne Yusoff, the students’ spokesperson, UM’s Students Affairs Division’s decision to disallow former Bar council president and ex-Bersih 2.0 co-chairperson S Ambiga from giving a talk on ‘Public Interest Litigation’ in the university was deemed as suppressing academic freedom. Pakatan MPs who were present to receive the memo were Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin and Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari Richtuyne said that on March 25 an official letter was sent to deputy vice chancellor of Student Affairs to seek permission for Ambiga to deliver the lecture. The deputy vice chancellor agreed on the condition that there must also be a pro government speaker at the function to balance the view during the lecture. Nevertheless, on March 27, the approval was retracted with the reason that the lecture was not part of the programme. The talk, organised by the UM Law Society , was to have taken place on March 29. Curbing students rights Richtuyne also attempted to contact Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan to hand in a copy of the memorandum but the latter failed to response to the students. The students said they would pass a copy of the memorandum to the Pakatan MPs to be passed on to Kamalanathan. In the memorandum, the students are seeking the UM management not to intervene into students’ affairs.

  • Media Statement by Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Assistant Political Education Director for the Democrat
    Media Statement by Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Assistant Political Education Director for the Democratic Action Party (DAP) on the 29th of March, 2021 Three recommendations to attract FDI back to Malaysia and prevent Malaysia from turning into the “sick man of Southeast Asia” Since the topic of Foreign Direct Investment (FDIs) have been in the news lately, I thought it would be useful for me to pull back the curtain and share the challenges and opportunities in attracting FDI to Malaysia based on my one and a half years as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). In doing so, I hope to shine the spotlight on what needs to be done in order to continue to make Malaysia an attractive FDI destination in South East Asia. It is still not too late to reverse the mistakes made in the ONE year of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government and prevent Malaysia from turning into the new "Sick Man of Southeast Asia". Broadly speaking, FDI inflows (by this I mean, manufacturing and services FDI, not equity FDI) into Malaysia comes in two forms. The first is FDI from already existing Multinational Corporations (MNCs) which have already invested in Malaysia. This would include the likes of INTEL’s long standing presence in Penang, SHELL’s Business Service Center in Cyberjaya and Standard Chartered’s Global Business Service center in Teknologi Park Malaysia (TPM), Bukit Jalil, just to name a few. Whether it is manufacturing or services (or manufacturing services), each of these MNCs will have to undertake periodic reviews with their Headquarters (HQs) on the business outlook of their Malaysian operations.

Joseph Kopser of RideScout aptly described mobility in today’s term as encompassing the entire ecosystem of connectivity options including infrastructure and their synergy, in addition to societal and environmental implications. The automotive industry has advanced beyond selling vehicles to providing solutions in totality in order to move people and goods sustainably. This Conference provides a timely platform for intellectually stimulating and constructive exchange of views to further the growth of the local automotive industry sustainably given the decrease in production, assembly and registration of new vehicles since 2016. It is geared towards addressing local developments in the industry and the wider ecosystem by bringing together experts and leading players to share and discuss their inputs concerning the industry and

  • Why Slam Party Now, DAP's Zulkifli Asked Malaysiakini.Com Sept 20, 2013 by Kow Kwan Yee
    Why slam party now, DAP's Zulkifli asked MalaysiaKini.com Sept 20, 2013 By Kow Kwan Yee The intention of DAP’s veteran member Zulkifli Mohd Noor to liken the Malays in DAP as ‘a 50 sen race’ a few days before the party re-election has come under question. “Why now?” asked DAP organising secretary Anthony Loke. He questioned why the former DAP vice-chairperson lashed out the party at this critical moment. NONE“I’m disappointed to see a long-time member making such a comment at this time,” he told a press conference at DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today. The Star had quoted Zulkifli (right) as saying the Malays in DAP were just ‘a 50 sen race’ and without them, it will not be able to reach one million (members). Zulkifli also reportedly called Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng a dictator and accused him of having a hidden agenda to strengthen his standing and that of his father, Lim Kit Siang, in the party. Zulkifli, who had joined the party 26 years ago, was a Penang municipal councillor and is now on the state DAP committee. He hoped the national delegates, who were mainly Chinese, would vote for Malay CEC candidates. Zulkifli is one of 62 DAP candidates who are competing for 20 spots in the CEC elections that will be held on Sept 29. There are seven other Malays contesting. All of them had been defeated in elections during last year’s national congress. After the controversial technical glitch was revealed, it was announced that Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari had been elected into the 20-member CEC list.

    DAP delegates keep status quo in CEC MalaysiaKini.com Sept 29, 2013 All 20 DAP central executive committee members elected in December last year have been re-elected today. Leading the pack is Liew Chin Tong (1,438 votes), Lim Kit Siang (1,436) and Karpal Singh (1,421) while Boo Cheng Hau (961), Nga Kor Ming (956) and Ngeh Khoo Ham (809) received the least amount of votes among those elected. Zairil Khir Johari, whose appointment to the CEC was in dispute during the December polls, came in 12th with 1,132 votes. The closest any other Malay candidate came to winning a seat was Ariffin SM Omar (441), Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji (441) and Ahmad Ton (351).
