Johari Abdullah, Dean of the Faculty of Computer Science and IT of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) cum ICT consultant, was called to explain and distinguish terms used in ICT as well as to demonstrate the opening of a blog site. During his examination by petitioner's counsel Henry Ling Kuong Meng, Johari said a `blog' can be written or/and owned by a single user but it can also be written and/or owned by multiple users. The case was presided over by Judge Datuk Clement Allan Skinner. Among other things, the ninth witness explained the meaning of terms like internet, worldwide web (or www), URL, protocol, http, webpage, download, and upload.

It ensures that citizens exercise their rights to vote for the destiny of the country. It is therefore essential that there must be clean and fair elections and voters are at liberty to cast their votes freely. Voters are more prepared to get involved in electoral process when they are confident that the elections are clean and fair. DAP Sarawak welcomes the recommendations to improve the election process contained in the Interim Report of PSC presented in Parliament on 1st December, 2011. We congratulate the PSC for a job well done. We do not intend to repeat the recommendations in this Memorandum. Suffice it is to say that we welcome and accept, among others: (a) the proposals to use indelible ink in order to avoid mUltiple voting by a single person; (b) advance voting by security personnel such as the armed forces and police, members of the Election Commission and media; (c) overseas voting - whereby Malaysians may be able to vote in centres arranged by the Election Commission instead of haVing to return to the home constituencies; (d) clean-up of electoral roll; (e) 14 day-period to check on new voters without haVing to pay objection fees; (f) revised voting process - whereby there will be no serial numbers on the ballot papers but only on counterfoils, recount is allowed when the vote differences between two candidates is less than 2% instead of the former 4%; (g) improvement to nomination process - whereby the objection to nomination is abolished and the 3-day cooling off period is removed.

  • DAP's Slow Momentum Picking-Up in Sibu Malaysiakini.Com April 24, 2013 by Kow Gah Chie
    DAP's slow momentum picking-up in Sibu MalaysiaKini.com April 24, 2013 By Kow Gah Chie ANALYSIS SIBU Once the focus of the battleground in the 2010 by-election and the 2011 state elections, Sibu, the third biggest town in Sarawak, seems to have lost its “shine”, where the election mood and momentum has been slow on the ground for DAP. The party appeared to be slower if compared with its opponent - the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) - in terms of election machinery and ceramah crowd response. On the first day of the campaign, DAP’s ceramah held near its Sibu headquarters was only able to attract 1,000 people, while SUPP’s ceramah has a strong crowd of 1,500, far better than during the state elections where it had a poor crowd size of 150 for one of its night ceramah. At SUPP’s ceramah, rounds and rounds of applause followed by whistles were heard, while at DAP’s ceramah only a few people seemed to respond passionately with cheers and applause, while the rest just listened quietly and remained motionless. SUPP’s machinery has come out with new and creative ideas to attract the crowd, and its Lanang candidate Tiong Thai King and Sibu candidate Vincent Lau even danced on the stage, in an attempt to woo the first-time and young voters. SUPP’s supporters have turned their ceramah into a fans gathering, where the elderly and children were spotted carrying posters featuring cartoon designs of both candidates to show their affection toward them.

The polls, which could now be held sooner than expected, will cer­ tainly test every party's resolve and all the bickering can only be expect­ ed to come to a head as the day of reckoning arrives. Virtually all state Barisan parties have their own issues to deal with — some more than others ­ but the situation seems to be most dire in SPDP. Leaders and ex­leaders of the party have no qualms about fighting their battles publicly and what's more, doing it all in the name of Barisan Nasional. Problems in the party started after party president Tan Sri William Mawan replaced Datuk Sylvester Entri Muran as the secretary­general during a meeting in February 2010. Entri walked out of the meeting fol­ lowed by four other SPDP elected representatives who would eventu­ ally call themselves the "Group of Five (G5).".
