Tuan Nga Hock Cheh minta Perdana Menteri menyatakan, apakah langkah- langkah yang diambil oleh kerajaan untuk mengkaji semula dan mengemas kini kaedah- kaedah Petisyen Pilihan Raya 1954 di bawah Jadual Kedua Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954. Timbalan Menteri Di Jabatan Perdana Menteri [Tuan Mohamed Hanipa bin Maidin]: Terima kasih Yang Berhormat, terima kasih Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Yang Berhormat Senator Tuan Nga Hock Cheh bertanya soalan tentang langkah-langkah yang diambil kerajaan untuk mengkaji semula dan mengemas kini kaedah-kaedah Petisyen Pilihan Raya 1954 di bawah Jadual Kedua Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya. Untuk makluman Dewan yang mulia ini, SPR sedang dalam perancangan untuk meneliti semua kaedah-kaedah berkaitan petisyen pilihan raya terutamanya Jadual Kedua, Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954. Ia adalah penting dalam memastikan pindaan terhadap peruntukan undang-undang tersebut adalah lebih menyeluruh. Di samping itu SPR juga mengadakan kerjasama dengan Jawatankuasa Pembaikan Sistem dan Undang-undang Pilihan Raya Malaysia ataupun di dalam peringkat ini Electrol Reform Committee (ERC) dari semasa ke semasa bagi meneliti dan memperhalusi cadangan tersebut. Sekian, terima kasih. Tuan Nga Hock Cheh: Tuan Yang di-Pertua, sebenarnya soalan ini ada berkaitan dengan soalan kesepuluh, jawapan yang telah diberi oleh Yang Berhormat Menteri tentang jumlah petisyen pilihan raya yang difailkan sejak PRU Ke-10 sehingga PRU Ke-14 dan mengikut jawapan yang diberi, jumlah kes adalah sebanyak 150 kes di mana hanya dua kes dibenarkan dan dari angka-angka yang diberi sebanyak 143 kes telah ditolak atas bantahan awam or preliminary objection. Contoh kaedah yang saya timbulkan, seksyen 9 menyatakan pelantikan peguam bela oleh pempetisyen. Peguam bela, perkataan ini sudah dimasukkan di bawah seksyen 152 of the Legal Profession Act. It was used under the Ordinance Peguam bela dan Peguam cara or Advocates and Solicitors Ordinance 1947 which has been substistuted by the Legal Profession Act 1976, Akta 166. So there is no such thing as advocate and this has been a ground for priminary objection which has succeeded in many cases that i happened to be in court and I heard it. So we hope that the kerajaan akan meneliti then update some of these peruntukan yang telah ketinggalan masa or outdated provision... Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Soalan Yang Berhormat. Adakah rancangan untuk menggubal. 2 DN 13.12.2018 Tuan Nga Hock Cheh: Ya. Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Jawapan telah diberi bahawa masa sekarang tidak ada rancangan untuk menggubal. Jawapan oleh Yang Berhormat Menteri tadi. Silakan Yang Berhormat Menteri. Tuan Nga Hock Cheh: Can I, Tuan Yang di-Pertua. Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Ya. Tuan Nga Hock Cheh: The soalan tambahan yang saya ingin tanya ada berkaitan dengan bantahan awal. Kalau sesuatu petisyen ditolak atas bantahan awal, bolehkan responden dalam kes itu menyatakan bahawa dia telah divindicated oleh mahkamah dalam petisyen itu. Is it fair for the respondents to say that he has been vindicated by the court when the matter has not been heard or evidence is only on Preliminary Objection (PO) which has been succeeded. I like to hear from the Menteri. Tuan Mohamed Hanipa bin Maidin: Terima kasih kepada sahabat saya seorang peguam senior Tuan Nga Hock Cheh. Yang Berhormat, izinkan saya Tuan Yang di-Pertua menceritakan bahawa sebenarnya... Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Yang Berhormat Menteri saya hendak tanya balik. So, soalan Yang Berhormat ini untuk perkara election petisyen ini mansuhkan PO. Tuan Nga Hock Cheh: That is tolak atas bantahan. Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Kalau Yang Berhormat sekarang cadang supaya ia dimansuhkan. Tuan Nga Hock Cheh: Betul, ya. Bolehkah responden menyatakan atau mengumumkan beliau telah divindicated or melepaskan oleh mahkamah atas tuduhan- tuduhan salah laku dalam pilihan raya. Tuan Yang di-Pertua: Tidak

    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA YAB TUN DR MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD FIRST-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE PAKATAN HARAPAN GOVERNMENT ON 9TH MEI 2019 (THURSDAY) AT PUTRAJAYA INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE (PICC) Assalamualaikum and Good Afternoon. 1. I am grateful to be able to be with all of you here and delivering a speech in conjunction with the first-year anniversary of the Pakatan Harapan Government. 2. First of all, I am thankful to be granted longevity in life, thus enabling me to continue serving this country of ours. 3. Secondly, our country remains peaceful, and during this fasting month all Muslims are able to perform their religious obligations in peace and harmony. 4. I am also grateful that during the Government transition, it was not marred by riots or violence despite attempts made to undermine the election results. 5. Feeling grateful, however, does not mean that we are not aware of the heavy responsibilities that we need to shoulder. 6. Pakatan Harapan was established as a coalition of four parties. Its grand purpose - is to topple the Barisan Nasional Government led by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. 7. The four parties with differing ideas and objectives agreed to work together because all were aware that they would not be able to defeat the BN Government if they were on their own. If they could not set aside their individual needs and join hands to save Malaysia from a kleptocratic Government, the future of this country will be at stake and the people will continue to suffer. It is likely that Malaysia will be what is known as a "failed state".

  • Malaysia's 14Th General Election and UMNO's Fall; Intra-Elite Feuding
    4 Electoral boundaries in Malaysia’s 2018 election Malapportionment, gerrymandering and UMNO’s fall Kai Ostwald Introduction Malaysia’s General Election 14 (GE14) on 9 May 2018 broke with the previ- ous thirteen in a fundamental way: the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and its coalition partners were defeated for the first time, bringing about an unprecedented transition of power after over six decades of political dominance. Despite the unpopularity of UMNO Prime Minister Najib Razak and widespread frustrations with the cost of living, the outcome was not anticipated. This is largely due to the extensive partisan manipulation of Malaysia’s electoral process, which provided the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition with far- reaching advantages in electoral competition. Of the many advantages, perhaps the most powerful came through biased elec- toral boundaries that use malapportionment and gerrymandering to provide the BN with a reliable and significant seat bonus over the opposition. This bias was enough to fundamentally distort outcomes, for example in the 2013 general elec- tion (GE13) where the BN lost the popular vote by 4% but still emerged with a 20% seat advantage in parliament (Wong 2018 ; Lee 2015 ; Ostwald 2013 ). Rede- lineation exercises concluded just prior to GE14 increased malapportionment further and showed signs of extensive gerrymandering. Critics from the opposi- tion and civil society feared that they would make a turnover of power through the ballot box nearly impossible. Relative to brazen manipulations like phantom voting or ballot box stuffing, biased electoral boundaries do not easily rouse cries of electoral malpractice. However, their effects are powerful.

    Unprecedented dismissal of lawmaker: Sarawak DAP to mount legal challenge Free Malaysia Today May 12, 2017 By Richard T.W. Calling it a ‘travesty of justice’, opposition cries foul over Barisan Nasional move to disqualify Pujut assemblyman for his previous Australian citizenship. KUCHING: DAP is considering legal options after an unprecedented resolution was passed in the Sarawak state assembly today to disqualify its Pujut assemblyman Dr Ting Tiong Choon for acquiring Australian citizenship, which he later renounced. “We will look into the legality of it (but) to challenge the decision made in the assembly is a hurdle,” state DAP leader Chong Chieng Jen told a press conference. He was flanked by leaders from DAP and Pakatan Harapan ally, PKR. “There is a provision in the law that says proceedings of the assembly cannot be challenged. That’s what you call immunity. Whether you can get the court to decide on the constitutionality of the (disqualification) is another hurdle – you may not even get there,” he said. Dr Ting was dismissed as an elected representative under Article 17(1)(g) of the state constitution for voluntarily acquiring citizenship outside Malaysia. The motion, tabled by Second Finance Minister Wong Soon Koh, was put to a vote and secured 70 Barisan Nasional (BN) lawmakers in favour of it. All 10 opposition members voted against it. Wong said Dr Ting acquired Australian citizenship on Jan 20, 2010, and renounced it on April 4, 2016, just before the Sarawak election on May 8. Chong admitted to reporters that the court might not be able to overturn the decision of the assembly.

    Speech by DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng at the DAP National Special Congress on 12 November 2017 at the IDCC Shah Alam, Selangor A Democratic, Progressive and Prosperous Malaysia for the many Preamble We, the DAP national delegates, gather here today for our National Special Congress as requested by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to hold a fresh election for the Central Executive Committee members, once again. We had earlier decided to accept the instructions by the ROS, under protest. Since the last National Conference on 4th December 2016, we lost two of DAP’s most important national leaders, the former Secretary-General and my university mate Sdr. Kerk Kim Hock and the former Perak Chairman and one of the earliest DAP members Sdr. Lau Dak Kee. Both of them were detained under the Internal Security Act during the Ops Lalang in 1 987. Let us pay tribute to Sdr Kerk and Lau for their contributions to the Party and to Malaysia, especially during difficult dark years. 1. Crisis and leadership Before I proceed into the details of this special meeting, let us together express DAP’s solidarity with the people of Penang for the recent unprecedented natural disaster of worst flood and storm in history that befell upon us on 4th and 5th November. No words can fully grasp the unexpected calamity. On behalf of DAP, let me express my sincerest gratitude to Penangites and Malaysians that have helped our people during the tumultuous time, and those who continue to assist us till this very moment. Your precious assistance, contributions and donations will forever be appreciated.
