    February 11, 2016 The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, As members of parliament from Southeast Asia, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, we write to express our desire for you to make discussion of human rights and the democratic aspirations of the people of ASEAN a priority during the upcoming summit at the Sunnylands estate in California on 15-16 February 2016. As you are surely aware, democracy is struggling in Southeast Asia. Many countries in our region have taken dramatic steps backward in the past two years. While Southeast Asia appeared to be on the cusp of a genuine political transformation only a few years ago, more recently the region has instead witnessed military takeovers, the rollback of fundamental rights, intensifying government-sponsored discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the increasing persecution of activists and opposition voices, including fellow parliamentarians. These setbacks constitute a fundamental threat to the future of the ASEAN Community and the US relationship with it. While we recognize and understand your administration’s desire to strengthen trade and security cooperation with Southeast Asian governments, we urge you to proceed with caution. Human rights, democracy, and basic dignity cannot take a backseat to economic or security prerogatives. Open dialogue on fundamental political and rights-based questions is vital to ensuring the sustainability of bilateral relationships and promoting broad-based benefits of trans-Pacific cooperation. When you sit down with ASEAN leaders in California, we urge you to press them on unfulfilled human rights commitments and to directly raise specific concerns with them.

  • GE13: REFSA Chooses Transformation on Sunday, May 5, Malaysians Go to the Polls
    SAYS GE13: REFSA chooses transformation On Sunday, May 5, Malaysians go to the polls. For the first time in our history, in the 56 years since Merdeka, we have a real choice in choosing who to grant the privilege of governing us. Which coalition will you choose? The incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN), which is the only federal government that all of us have known so far? Or the young upstart Pakatan Rakyat? We at REFSA have made our choice. We choose transformation. We choose Pakatan Rakyat. Pakatan has transformed race relations. Malaysians of all races gather congenially under the PAS moon and DAP rocket. A Malaysian-Chinese flying the PAS flag, or a Malay waving the DAP rocket symbol, would have been an unimaginable sight as recently as Feb 2008. Pakatan leaders have transformed the prisms by which we view each other, and led Malaysians from narrow communal siloes to broader, harmonious relations. Pakatan has transformed state governments. The federal Auditor- General has given Penang top marks for being the best financially- managed state; and the RM1.2b cash savings in Selangor are the highest in 28 years. Pakatan state governments were the first to give direct welfare aid to Malaysians: for example, the Senior Citizen Appreciation Programme in Penang and the TAWAS programme in Selangor. Pakatan has demonstrated that it is possible to be financially responsible and populist at the same time. Pakatan has proven that it can transform Malaysia for the better, in contrast to the „transformation‟ that (caretaker) prime minister Najib uses as a smoke-screen to hide business- as-usual shenanigans.

  • Despite Ratifying the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, Several States Maintain Full Or Partial Ownership of the Tobacco
    Countering opposition, generating doubt and mobilising support in rare earth metals-related environmental conflict in Malaysia: the persuasive discourse techniques of a transnational mining corporation and its supporters Kai-Lit Phua1 Simon Barraclough Monash University Malaysia, Malaysia La Trobe University, Australia Abstract Persuasion, a vital element in commercial marketing, is also an essential tool for the winning and maintenance of political power. Corporations seek to persuade customers to purchase their products and services but may also need to influence wider public opinion and political decision-makers in ways that serve their interests. In this article, we present an account of environmental-related conflict in Malaysia and the use of persuasion in the discourse of an Australian transnational mining corporation and its supporters. We analyse the strategies used by the corporation as it engages in intense conflict with environmental campaigners and concerned residents following its moves to establish the world's largest rare earth metals extraction plant in peninsular Malaysia. Following the political ecology perspective, we note that the efforts at persuasion used by the corporation have been actively backed by the Malaysian state itself. This is not simply a case of environmental conflict but strongly connected to the underlying political economy of Malaysia - a country with an authoritarian regime where corruption and 'crony capitalism' are rife, and public opinion is often ignored or consistently manipulated by government-controlled mass media. Keywords: environmental-related conflict, rare earth, persuasion techniques, Malaysia Résumé Persuasion, un élément vital dans le marketing commercial, est donc l'outil indispensable pour la conquête et le maintien du pouvoir politique.

  • Lynas Must Go If Pakatan Wins, Says Wong Tack Malaysiakini.Com March 19, 2013
    Lynas must go if Pakatan wins, says Wong Tack MalaysiaKini.com March 19, 2013 Himpunan Hijau chairperson Wong Tack is standing by his long-term goal of shutting down the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (Lamp), saying Pakatan Rakyat must not renege on its promise to do so should the coalition capture Putrajaya in the coming general election. In clearing the air over his controversial “front door” statement in regards to the rare earths refinery last week, Wong (left) said he regretted the “indirect way” in which he had spoke, as this had led to the misunderstanding. “The reason for the confusion and resulting disappointment was due to my poorly made ‘off-the-cuff’ statement, which gave the impression that I welcome Lynas. “Should Pakatan form the next government of Malaysia, the Temporary Operating License (TOL) for Lynas to operate must be revoked and stop work order must be issued immediately,” he said in a statement issued today. Wong explained that in order to then challenge the termination of the TOL, Lynas must go through the most stringent and transparent detailed environment impact assessment (DEIA) process, of which he was sure there would be little chance of success. “In my professional view, given my experience as an environmental consultant, Lynas will not be able to comply with the many requirements of the DEIA, including stringent public consultation process and especially on the disposal of the processed waste. “To put it simply, once the plant is shut down, there is no chance for it to reopen again” he said. The same, he added, applies to other projects which pose a hazard to the environment as well as to the health and livelihood of the people, such as the gold mining in Raub, Pengerang petrochemical plant and the construction of dams in East Malaysia.

    MCA, respect is earned through character MalaysiaKini.com March 19, 2012 VOXPOP 'Ask your party leader to respect women first. BN leaders have made many sexists remarks on women. Where were you then?' MCA pecks at Pakatan for disrespecting women vox populi small thumbnailFade2grey: Pakatan Rakyat disrespecting women? Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail is the highest leader in PKR, while Nurul Izzah Anwar is among the top party leaders. The late Dr Lo'Lo' Ghazali was an important member in PAS Kuala Lumpur and exco Elizabeth Wong is doing great work in Selangor. DAP state representative Hannah Yeoh is well-respected, along with her Batu Gajah colleague, MP Fong Poh Kuan. Meanwhile, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok is a powerhouse parliamentarian and a senior Selangor cabinet member. Kuantan MP Fuziah Salleh is at the forefront of activism. For that, Fong Poh Kuan had sexist jokes made of her in Parliament and Bersih chairperson S Ambiga had been called a prostitute. So where lies the disrespect? Boiling Mud: Who are you, MCA leaders, accusing Pakatan of being disrespectful of women? Have you forgotten one of your ministers suggested to her fellow Malaysian women to don sexy dresses to keep their husband from straying? If this is not an insult to the Malaysian women, I don't know what is. A woman in marriage is an equal partnership with the husband. She isn't a whore to dress skimpily to keep her husband happy. Get that right. So go chastise your woman minister first before you peck at others. Cocomomo: Ask your party leader Dr Chua Soi Lek to respect women first.

  • Download and Collect Masses of Raw Data from Various Social Media Such As Twitter and Facebook, the Research Into Social Media Is Now Becoming More Quantitative
    International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 7 (4.29) (2018) 260-265 International Journal of Engineering & Technology Website: www.sciencepubco.com/index.php/IJET Research paper An Active and Popular Facebook Page Equals Better Chances of Winning an Election? The 2013 Malaysian General Election Case Mohammad Adib Khairuddin1*, Mohd Rizal Mohd Isa1, Kamaruzaman Maskat1, Mohd ‘Afizi Mohd Shukran1 , Mohd Nazri Ismail1, Mohd Fahmi Mohamad Amran1, Muhammad Naim Abdullah1 1Jabatan Sains Komputer, Fakulti Sains Teknologi Pertahanan, UPNM, Malaysia *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Social media is becoming a significant platform for election campaigning allowing for both communication and interaction between candidates and the public. However, most research points to social media being used mainly for broadcasting of information, and there is a need to test whether the interactive features are being used and are influencing election results. With the ability of researchers to download and collect masses of raw data from various social media such as Twitter and Facebook, the research into social media is now becoming more quantitative. With traditional media completely owned and controlled by the government, while the internet is free and uncensored, the use of social media in Malaysia has exploded over the past few years, with a corresponding use of this medium in campaigning, leading to researches attributing this to the rise of a viable opposition. In this paper we study passive interaction using data captured directly from the 2013 Malaysian General Election candidates’ Facebook Pages (FP), and show that the success of a candidate who is active and popular on Facebook rises to 77% when compared to the 38% general success rate of all candidates.

  • Air Mata Dr M Tumpah Di Depan Ulama Malaysiakini 31 Julai 2018 Datuk
    Air mata Dr M tumpah di depan ulama Malaysiakini 31 Julai 2018 Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin menceritakan satu peristiwa ketika pertemuan khas Perdana Menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad bersama tokoh ulama dan cendekiawan Islam hari ini, yang membuatkannya "merasa sebak". Ia adalah ketika Mahathir menangis ketika mengatakan keperluan untuk umat Islam kembali kepada al-Quran sebagai rujukan utama. "Semasa Tun Mahathir mengucapkan 'kita sudah tiada jalan lain untuk menjadi umat Islam yang berjaya melainkan kena baca al-Quran', beliau menangis dan tidak mampu lagi meneruskan ucapan. "Saya juga rasa sebak. Semoga Allah merahmati Tun (Mahathir)," katanya di Instagram. Asri mengiringi kata-kata itu dengan gambarnya bersama Mahathir ketika pertemuan itu. Menurut Bernama, sejumlah 37 tokoh ulama dan cendekiawan Islam mengadakan pertemuan khas kira-kira dua jam bersama Mahathir di Jabatan Perdana Menteri hari ini. Antara yang hadir, selain Asri, adalah Penasihat Umum AMANAH Ahmad Awang, pensyarah Universiti Oxford United Kingdom Datuk Dr Muhammad Afifi Al-Akiti, Presiden Majlis Perundingan Pertubuhan Islam Malaysia (Mapim) Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid, Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk Dr Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri dan Mufti Pulau Pinang, Datuk Dr Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor. Turut bersama dalam pertemuan itu adalah Menteri Agama Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa dan timbalannya Fuziah Salleh. Menurut Bernama lagi, Mujahid berkata Mahathir dalam pertemuan itu antaranya meminta golongan agama untuk memaparkan Islam yang lebih "berbelas kasihan". "Dunia sering mengaitkan Islam dengan kekejaman, peperangan dan kelemahan dalam ekonomi. "Dalam soal ini Tun Mahathir mahu para ulama dan cendekiawan Islam menggunakan ruang terbuka di bawah pentadbiran Pakatan Harapan untuk memaparkan Islam yang lebih berbelas kasihan," katanya seperti dipetik.
