Assembly points set for KL 'Black 505' rally MalaysiaKini.com June 19, 2013 Pakatan Rakyat and NGO leaders will gather at seven assembly points in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, before proceeding to Padang Merbok to hold the ‘Black 505' rally. The assembly points are: Brickfields - led by PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah, PSM secretary-general S Arulchelvan and Bersih's Maria Chin Abdullah Masjid Negara - led by PAS’ Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad and PKR deputy president, Azmin Ali Jalan Pudu - led by DAP deputy chairperson Tan Kok Wai, party organisational secretary Anthony Loke, Bentong DAP candidate and anti-Lynas leader Wong Tack Jalan Raja Laut (PAS headquarters) - led by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and deputy president Mohamad Sabu Jalan Raja Laut (Sogo) - led by PKR vice-president Tian Chua and an NGO comprising former army personnel Universiti Malaya - led by student leaders Safwan Anang and Adam Adli, PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin and PAS Youth chief Nasruddin Hassan Pekeliling - led by PAS vice-president Salehuddin Ayub and the party-led NGO Anak The gathering is the latest in the nationwide series to highlight alleged irregularities and fraud in the 13th general election of May 5, as well as to pressure for the resignation of the two top Election Commission (EC) officials. Kuala Lumpur City Hall has already said that Padang Merbok is off limits to Pakatan, as the field has been ‘booked’ for a run organised by the Olympic Council of Malaysia on Sunday, because the organiser had to make preparations on Saturday. Despite this, as well as pressure from the authorities to hold the rally in a stadium, Pakatan has refused to budge from its decision. Deputy federal police chief Bakri Zinin has warned of action against the rally participants. PKR vice-president Tian Chua has said the ‘Black 505' rallies, which began on May 8, would continue to be held nationwide until the two top EC heads resign. Copyright © 1999-2012 Mkini Dotcom Sdn.

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.

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.

1,000 at Maria Chin Vigil Told to Get Off Dataran Merdeka Malaysiakini.Com Nov 23 Rd , 2016 Koh Jun Lin
1,000 at Maria Chin vigil told to get off Dataran Merdeka MalaysiaKini.com Nov 23 rd , 2016 Koh Jun Lin Some 1,000 Bersih supporters standing vigil last night in protest against the arrest of the movement’s leader Maria Chin Abdullah were ordered to vacate their Dataran Merdeka venue. However, the event continued without any further incident until its conclusion at 10.30pm, after organisers agreed to comply with Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) instructions and shifted the crowd to the adjacent Jalan Raja. A notice posted on an electronic screen at Dataran Merdeka said the historic venue was closed by the order of the mayor, from 5pm until 7am on the following day, from Nov 22 until Nov 29. “Any person who remains on Dataran Merdeka or refuses to follow the order can be expelled from Dataran Merdeka,” the notice states. No reason was given for Dataran Merdeka’s closure. The vigil was held to protest Maria’s arrest on Nov 18 , which was on the eve of the Bersih 5 rally. She is being investigated under Section 124C of the Penal Code for attempting "activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy", and is also being held under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma). A habeas corpus application was filed yesterday to secure her release, and the hearing is slated for case management tomorrow. The vigil is to be held at Dataran Merdeka daily until Maria’s release, and the crowd had swelled from about 650 on its first day on Monday, to some 1,000 last night.
