Aww...come on now, my good and holy Prime Minister, Pak Lah, surely you cannot spin this same old story again and again to the now newly formed Penang state government or to us rakyat, can you ? read here !Surely you are not trying to shove down our throats another racial threat by what your administration had failed terribly to do for so long, when you were in power in Penang, are you ? And all of a sudden you want to make sure Guan Eng does not marginalise the Malays and INDIANS ? Sheeesh.....suddenly the Indians are also your priority ? Gimme a break, will you, Mr. PM ?
It is odd now that you mention it after all the years your boys were calling all the shots in Penang. You never cared to address their priorities then and now warn Guan Eng about fanning racial sentiments and marginalisation, huh ? You should have taken your own advice then !
The people of Malaysia have matured, sir, yes, and if you had been "on the ball" with your then state government, the people of Penang would not have rejected and voted your government out of Penang, now would they ???
It is the BN, with all the media in control, who have constantly reminded us simple and peace-loving Malaysians of the ever threatening propaganda of May 13 1969. So stop it!... my dear PM, please stop it ! You must face the fact that you cannot continue treating your rakyat like morons ! We the Barisan Rakyat are now more informed, by way of the electronic media and have a better understanding of all that's going on in your administration.
Change is good.....yes !! that I have always ventured and change we will, in engaging and living as a Bangsa Malaysia, condoning race and religious issues, and as you have witness in the recent polls results. Let the opposition coalition, who have all unanimously embraced that "People's Declaration" sort-out all short-comings and deal with teething hiccups as we the rakyat, pray will continue watching with a critical eye .
God Bless Malaysia !

Only BN is capable of using the racial/religious card to rile up its own citizens to quarrel amongst ourselves. We have to change our mindset, then BN will no longer be relevent and it's 'divide & rule' principles will not work anymore against the rakyat.
Now that the opposition parties have won control of 5 state governments and denied BN two third majority in the parliament, do the next stage by petition for a Royal Commission on Electoral Reform (RCER) in Malaysia.
If you want to have a better future for our children in Malaysia, do your part by signing the on-line petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/RCER2008/petition.html
This is one way to bring our message to the Government.
Don’t just sit there, stand up and be counted! We want a fair and transparent election.
WHY DO WE NEED TO REFORM THE ELECTION COMMISSION?
1) Gerrymandering. The discrepancy between number of voters in voting areas is too great. The smallest parliamentary seat (Federal Territory, Putrajaya) has only 6,608 voters while the parliamentary seat for Kapar in Selangor has 112,224 voters. What this means is that one vote in the Putrajaya parliamentary constituency is equivalent to 17 votes in the Kapar constituency.
2) Phantom voters. A common tactic is to ‘buy’ the identity card of the voters. Party members from the ruling parties will then vote on the voters’ behalf. Random checking of a person’s identity must be conducted using those finger print checking device (like the bank use). Any voting done on another person’s identity must be made a serious offence under the election law.
3) Postal votes. The rules on postal voting must be reviewed, tightened and amended. The current rule favours the ruling party as the armed forces personnel and policemen who vote by ‘postal voting’ would obviously not jeopardize their career or promotion prospect by voting for the opposition. Voting under postal voting is not secret as it is under the watchful eyes of the senior officers. Christina Liew of DAP (Api-Api) lost due to postal votes. The ruling party has control of 250,000 postal votes!
4) Spoiled votes. How do we define spoiled votes. It is very easy to turn good votes into spoiled votes (by adding one more x to the ballot paper). Are spoiled votes being verified and watched over by the party representatives? In marginal areas in which the winning margin is razor thin, the so-called spoiled votes need to be scrutinized.
