In particular: • The BERSIH Sibu team, in particular Hu Ting Ung, Dominic Hii and Wong Meng Chuo; • Save Rivers, for mobilising their networks for volunteers; • Cyril Dan, for coordinating the Miri observation efforts; • Zoe Randhawa, BERSIH Senior Advocacy Officer and Chan Tsu Chong, BERSIH Senior Outreach Officer who were the mission coordinators; • Thomas Fann, BERSIH Treasurer, Fadiah Nadwa, BERSIH National Steering Committee member, Lena Hendry, volunteer coordinator, Nurul Nadhirah Aman, BERSIH Assistant Programme Officer, and Maisara Amira, BERSIH Administrative Officer; • All our volunteers from across Sarawak and West Malaysia; • Lawyers from Miri, Sibu and Kuching for standing by with legal help throughout the campaign period; • The members of the public who helped distribute PEMANTAU leaflets and contacted the PEMANTAU hotline with reports of election offences. 4 Executive Summary The PEMANTAU Sarawak initiative was launched in February 2016 after consultations between the BERSIH 2.0 Steering Committee, Secretariat and civil society leaders in Sarawak. The mission was to be a continuation of the PEMANTAU initiative undertaken for the 13th General Election (GE13) in 2013, but adapted to better suit to the unique nature of Sarawakian elections. As with the GE13 PEMANTAU, it was aimed at reducing or preventing fraud in the election and empowering local communities and individuals to take an active role in ensuring a free and fair election. A total of 93 observers were mobilised and trained to observe nomination day, the campaign period and polling day, in five target seats: Tasik Biru, Batu Kitang, Bawang Assan, Senadin and Telang Usan. In addition, a PEMANTAU hotline was set up and media reports were scrutinised for possible offences. This report has outlined eight categories of electoral misconduct: 1. Undue influence and promoting feelings of ill-will or hostility; 2. Bribery; 3. Treating; 4. Use of government machinery and resources; 5. Partisan behaviour by police and the Election Commission officers and observers; 5 6. Illegal campaigning, including unauthorised expenditures, use of polling stations for campaigning and campaigning on polling day; 7. Conveyance of voters on polling day; 8. Procedural irregularities, including the last minute removal of a polling station and failings in the overseas voting procedures. The PEMANTAU findings illustrate that not only are there blatant disregard for the principles of free and fair elections by candidates, political parties and government institutions, but also clear breaches of election laws. The report finds the Election Commission failed to ensure the principles of free and fair elections were abided by and, more seriously, failed to enforce domestic election laws. The report further concludes Malaysia’s election laws must be strengthened, particularly to set boundaries for the conduct of a caretaker government and to make campaign financing more transparent. Major Recommendations For the Federal and State Governments to: − Introduce a moratorium on financial handouts, land titles, and other financial benefits once Parliament and State Assemblies have been dissolved. − Establish an independent and fair caretaker government prior to election period and set out 6 guidelines, roles and responsibilities for implementation. The Election Commission should: − Promote and develop international and domestic observation through an open and transparent process and establish election observation as integral part of the election processes. − Take responsibility to provide clear and precise information on roles and responsibilities of polling and counting agents. − Carry out thorough trainings for political parties and local officers, in particular the returning officers, presiding officers and enforcement officers for each constituency. Political parties and candidates should: − Make public declarations of election expenditure, including donations received and spent. − Adhere to fair and ethical standards in campaigning. 7 Introduction This report will document the conduct of the 11th Sarawak State Election, from nomination day until polling day, and assess the extent to which the election was free and fair. For an election to be “free”: • Candidates must be able to campaign throughout the constituency without undue barriers, save for ensuring law and order in the area; • Voters must be able to freely assess the manifestos put forward by the various candidates and make an informed choice; • Voters must be free to cast their vote with relative ease and free from interference on polling day. For an election to be “fair”, a level playing field and equal opportunities must exist for all candidates, regardless of resources and position. The candidates must: • Adhere to the spending limit of RM100,000 for Legislative Assembly candidates, in accordance with Section 19(1)(b) of the Election Offences Act, to ensure an advantage is not given to the wealthier candidates; • Not abuse positions within the caretaker government to obtain an advantage;1 1 Section 17(i), “Declaration of Global Principles for Non- partisan Election Observation and Monitoring by Citizen Organisations”, Global Network of Domestic Election Monitors, (3 April 2012) 8 • Have equal access to media.2 This report will further consider the role of the Election Commission in ensuring free and fair elections and compliance with election laws and regulations. Background and Framework The PEMANTAU Sarawak initiative was a combination of efforts by BERSIH 2.0 and local NGOs in Sarawak, in particular BERSIH Sibu and Save Rivers. The program was based on the model of PEMANTAU carried out in the 13th General Election in 2013, which was developed in partnership with Pusat KOMAS and Malaysians for Free and Fair Elections (MAFREL). In 2013, the PEMANTAU team mobilised 3000 domestic observers to cover 89 parliamentary constituencies. A non-partisan monitoring of elections by civil society and citizens has emerged as a key and meaningful element in strengthening democracy. These efforts have contributed towards cleaner elections, prevent conflict, and improve accountability. In the past two decades, millions of people in over 90 countries have participated in election monitoring to protect the integrity of their elections and to strengthen the accountability of the government and political parties. The GE13 PEMANTAU framework was based on these internationally recognised models and the conceptual framework for this 2016 mission remained the same. The framework was derived from the principles in the Universal 2 Ibid., Section 17(l) 9 Declaration of Human Rights3, the Global Network of Domestic Election Monitors4, Malaysia’s

  • THERE's "INVISIBLE HANDS" in DY PRESIDENT's CONTEST, SAYS JOHARI (Bernama 14/08/1998)
    14 AUG 1998 PBB-Contest THERE'S "INVISIBLE HANDS" IN DY PRESIDENT'S CONTEST, SAYS JOHARI KUCHING, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- State Industrial Development Minister Datuk Abang Johari Tun Openg said today there are "invisible hands" involved in the the three-cornered contest for the deputy presidency of the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) at the party polls on Aug 28. Abang Johari is challenging two other PBB leaders, incumbent deputy president Datuk Abang Abu Bakar Mustapha and state minister Datuk Adenan Satem in the first such contest for the post in 12 years. "I am contesting not only against my good friend Datuk Adenan Satem but also invisible hands who are financially strong but dare not come out to contest for the post" he told reporters here. Both Abang Johari and Adenan are party vice presidents. Adenan, the Agriculture and Food Industries minister, received 32 nominations for the post, Abang Johari 14 nominations while Abang Abu Bakar managed to obtain only one nomination. Abang Johari appeared emotional at the news conference when he talked of the tactics used by the "financially strong invisible hands" to influence the outcome of the contest for the party's No. 2 post. Before the start of the news conference, Abang Johari asked: " Where's Borneo Post....it's no point if only the Sarawak Tribune and Utusan Sarawak are present". The Borneo Post is regarded here as the more "independent" of Sarawak newspapers and is popular for publishing dissenting views from members of the ruling parties and as well as the opposition. Abang Johari spoke of tactics being used by the "invisible hands" to influence the outcome of the polls, including by spreading word that because Adenan had received a nomination from the Asajaya division headed by party president and Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud, he (Adenan) had Taib's backing.

  • Voting Strategy of the Iban in Sarawak, Malaysia
    Southeast Asian SStudiesODA R.:, Vol. Development 40, No. 4, Policy March and 2003 Human Mobility in a Developing Country Development Policy and Human Mobility in a Developing Country: Voting Strategy of the Iban in Sarawak, Malaysia SODA Ryoji* Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the interaction between the development policy of the Sarawak government and the indigenous people in rural areas, by observing the mobility of rural- urban migrants. Over the last decade or so, the Sarawak government has been promoting vari- ous kinds of development schemes in rural areas, and the indigenous people, who are politically and economically marginalized, seem to act in compliance with the government policy for the purpose of securing development funds. Some scholars have criticized this kind of passive com- pliance as a “subsidy syndrome.” However, closer observation of the voting behavior of the indigenous people reveals that they strive to maximize their own interests, albeit within a limited range of choices. What is noteworthy is the important role played by rural-urban migrants in rural development. They frequently move back and forth between urban and rural areas, are leaders in the formation of opinion among rural residents, and help obtain development resources for their home villages. Examining the mobility of urban migrants during election periods is useful for reconsidering the dichotomy between development politics and the vulnerable agricul- tural community, and also urban-rural relations. Keywords: Iban, Sarawak, voting activity, rural-urban migration, development policy, rural devel- opment I Introduction Based on my previous studies of rural-urban population mobility of the Iban, an indigenous people in Sarawak [Soda 1999a; 2000], it is apparent that rural-urban relations — more specifically, the mobility of indigenous peoples between rural and urban areas — is significantly affected by development-biased political system.

  • Potential Application of Hydrokinetic Turbine for Rural Electrification in Katibas Region
    Modern Environmental Science and Engineering (ISSN 2333-2581) January 2018, Volume 4, No. 1, pp. 78-82 Doi: 10.15341/mese(2333-2581)/01.04.2018/009 Academic Star Publishing Company, 2018 www.academicstar.us Potential Application of Hydrokinetic Turbine for Rural Electrification in Katibas Region Lydia Anak Aling, Sarimah Binti Atan, and Mohd Fahies Bin Ismail Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politeknik Mukah, Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract: Efforts to bridge the electricity supply gap in Katibas region require an immediate effort, particularly in the economic squeeze and dependency of rural population to the uncertain price of diesel and petrol for daily needs. Due to the fact that Katibas region is in high rainfall areas and has a river profile that similar to known potential sites, hydrokinetic power should be considered for electrification in this region. Thus, this study reviews the latest literature on the potential of hydropower for rural electrification. To investigate the potential of hydrokinetic power in this region, current status of energy and electrification in Katibas region has been presented. The challenges and benefits of hydrokinetic development to the region and local community also have been and discussed. Key words: renewable energy, hydropower, hydrokinetic, electrification, rural area 1. Introduction Katibas region located along the Katibas River which is a tributary of the Rajang River, located in the district of Song in the Seventh Division, Kapit Sarawak. 12,400 of people estimated residing the long house along the river and other tributary such as Tekalit River, River Musah and Bangkit River. Katibas River is the only access to the most remote settlements in the region which only can be accessed by long boat, took up to 6 hours of journey.

Kemudian analisa terhadap implikasi yang akan berlaku kesan daripada perkembangan ini akan dihuraikan secara tuntas. Asyraf Farique Ketua Editor Kompas Edisi 2/2019 | 4 Ringkasan Eksekutif Penulisan kompas edisi ini akan melihat sejauh mana desentralisasi kuasa menjadi salah satu strategi untuk merombak status quo politik di Malaysia, yang secara umumnya didominasi oleh orang Melayu. Lebih spesifik, adakah desentralisasi kuasa ini merupakan pintu untuk liberalisasi yang lebih meluas dalam penglibatan politik dan penentuan polisi, khususnya dalam kalangan warga bukan Melayu? Adakah proses desentralisasi kuasa ini suatu strategi untuk mengecilkan kuasa kerajaan pusat dengan mewujudkan sebuah kerajaan terhad (limited government)? Adakah proses ini akan memberikan lebih peluang kepada pihak kapitalis dan kuasa luar untuk mengawal hala tuju negara? Kajian menunjukkan sekiranya pilihanraya kerajaan tempatan berjaya dihidupkan semula, kuasa sultan akan semakin terhakis bagi negeri-negeri yang mempunyai sultan. Hal ini boleh berlaku melalui usaha DAP menguasai kawasan-kawasan bandar yang strategik. Selain itu proses penswastaan yang sedang giat dijalankan di seluruh negara melalui penjualan aset-aset pegangan Khazanah milik kerajaan kepada pihak swasta meningkatkan risiko negara berada dalam kawalan para pemodal kapitalis swasta.
