KOTA KINABALU: Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) fully backs BERSIH Sabah, according to MCLM Sabah chief Michael Liew.

According to Liew, “Based on our understanding, BERSIH Sabah never applied to use Padang Merdeka.

They had issued letters of notification to both PDRM and DBKK of their activities on 17th of April 2012.”

According to section 9(1) of the newly enacted Peaceful Assembly Act, an organiser shall, ten days before the date of an assembly, notify the Officer in Charge of the Police District in which the assembly is to be held.

Fakta Sebenar Di Sebalik Dakwaan & Fitnah Terhadap Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR)

• Dakwaan 1:
  
  SPR telah sengaja membetulkan sempadan kawasan pilihan raya DUN dan Parlimen tanpa kelulusan Parlimen bertujuan meramaikan pengundi di satu-satu kawasan bagi membolehkan Barisan Nasional beroleh kemenangan pada PRU Ke-13 nanti
  
  Dakwaan tersebut merupakan suatu fitnah dan tidak berasas sama sekali. SPR tidak pernah melakukan apa-apa perubahan terhadap sempadan kawasan atau bahagian pilihan raya sama ada DUN atau pun Parlimen kerana urusan berkenaan hanya dapat dilakukan apabila tiba masanya mengikut peruntukan Perkara 113(A) Perlembagaan Persekutuan. SPR telah pun mengeluarkan pengumuman bahawa urusan kajian semula persempadanan bahagian-bahagian pilihan raya hanya akan dijalankan apabila tiba masanya selepas PRU-13. SPR akan mengeluarkan kenyataan rasmi berhubung dengan perkara tersebut apabila tiba masanya nanti.
  
  

Kenapa rakyat Sabah harus memilih STAR

Oleh Maslan Maginda

Senario politik di Malaysia hari ini sudah berubah jika dibandingkan pada era PBS kerana kerajaan persekutaan pada waktu itu masih kuat dan masih boleh memerintah walaupun tanpa Sabah dan Sarawak. Datuk Dr Jeffery Kitingan pengerusi Parti STAR Sabah, telah menjelaskan kepada rakyat di seluruh negeri ini agar memilih parti STAR pada pilihanraya ke 13 untuk menyelamatkan Sabah daripada terus dikuasai oleh kerajaan Barisan National dan UMNO yang dilihat sudah menjajah Sabah dan sewenang-wenangnya melanggar Perjanjian Malaysia.

 

STAR adalah sebuah parti tempatan yang benar-benar berjuang untuk rakyat. Datuk Dr Jeffery juga telah memberikan jaminan kepada rakyat Sabah, yang STAR akan menyelesaikan segala isu yang membabitkan hak-hak rakyat apabila STAR memerintah nanti.

The death of civil liberties

By Malik Imtiaz Sarwar

Though the Government has said much about the repeal of the infamous Internal Security Act, little has been said to explain how its so-called replacement, the Security Offences (Special Measures) Bill (SOA), will impact on our lives. Even less has been said about the bill tabled to amend the Penal Code that went hand in hand with the SOA. I think there was a reason for this.

To say that the two bills are draconian would be a gross understatement. They brutally curtail the constitutional freedom of Malaysians to dissent. It seems that we have been made the victims of a sleight of hand. While we were being distracted by the song and dance that attended the termination of the ISA, Parliament was being harnessed to diabolical purpose. The passing of the two bills has sounded the death knell of civil liberties.
