以行动争取权益 黄家和:政策不公商团人民须敢进言

民主行动党桂和区州议员黄家和律师于2011年7月30日在怡保新利口福主办的霹雳州家私同业公会38年晚宴上所发表的言词：

（怡保30日讯）民主行动党桂和区州议员黄家和律师表示，无论是商团还是人民，在国家政策出现不公平的时候必须敢于向当权者进言，以行动争取本身的权益，为国家的未来带来改变。

黄家和是于昨晚代表太平区国会议员倪可敏出席在怡保新利口福主办的霹雳州家私同业公会38年晚宴上，引用美国著名女性人权斗士罗莎帕斯的斗争故事时表示，在1955年身为黑人罗莎帕斯在公共巴士上，拒绝司机的指示让位给较后登车的白人。整个事件虽然导致罗莎帕斯面对法庭的官非，但是却引起了4万名黑人工人集体杯葛该项巴士服务超过1年，最后导致种族歧视法令被宣判不合法。

黄家和说，罗莎帕斯女士在1955年的一个果敢的决定，改变了美国人民的命运，整个人权运动在另外一名黑人领袖马丁路德金的率领下抬头，美国人并在2008年打破种族思想，选出第一位黑人总统。罗莎帕斯的事件告诉了全世界，人民必须勇敢地争取本身的权益，这样才能够带来改变。

另一方面，黄氏表示，根据世界银行的报告，国家的80巴仙津贴是提供予私人机构，广大的人民并没有从中受益，导致汽油、白糖、面粉等必需品价格日益上涨，这是十分不健康的现象。

“当权者的最主要任务其实就是致富人民，我们都期待着国家一天可以有所改变，分发现金予长者、甚至全面废除南北大道收费，减低人民的负担。

当晚的出席者也包括马来西亚家具同业联合总会秘书长孙中文、马来西亚场上公会会长拿督颜德光、霹雳州家私同业公会会长罗添福、德宾丁宜州议员黄文标、郑惠浓市议员等人，席开70余，场面热闹。

Press Statement by YB Wong Kah Woh, the State Assemblyman for Canning and DAP Perak Publicity Secretary on 30.07.2011 (Sunday) at the “Yellow Saturday” Campaign Pasar Besar Ipoh, Perak:

It is imminent for the BN Government and the Election Commission to accept and implement the 8 Demands for a Clean and Fair Election as proposed by Bersih with a view to improve and reform the electoral system in the country and to restore the confidence of the People in the democracy system.

The DAP Kinta Valley reps were here in Pasar Besar, Ipoh this morning kicking off the Kinta-Valley wide campaign of a Post-Bersih electoral reform campaign. Those who were presence include YB M Kula (MP for Ipoh Barat), myself (Canning), YB V Sivakumar (Tronoh), YB Shum Cheok Leng (Bercham), YB Lim Pek Har (Menglembu), Human Rights lawyer Sdr. Augustine Anthony, Mulan’s Branch Chairlady Sdr. Wong Chee Yen and the members from various service team in Kinta Valley. It is notable that everyone were presence in yellow shirt in support of a “Yellow Saturday” and this had led to a wave of yellow in the market itself.

As part of the “Yellow Saturday” campaign, the DAP Kinta Valley reps will be having programmes and walkabout every Saturday in the designated areas in every State Seat of Kinta Valley. We hope that we can create more awareness of the people on the importance of Clean and Fair Election and to let the people understand the truth that cannot be covered at the peaceful rally on 9th July 2011.

The Election Commission had presented some proposals for the improvement of the electoral system in the country. However, we can hardly see the proposals such as the biometric identification system and the repositioning of the postal balloting by the name advance voting will carry any weight in the improvement of the electoral system or bring to a total reform of the system.

As far as the biometrical identification is concerned, there are fears of manipulation of the system and it will also involve gigantic cost. The indelible ink system which was supposed to be implemented in the last General Election and as proposed in the 8 Electoral Reform Demands by Bersih will be a better and more practical choice with a much lower cost.

At the same time, the introduction of advance voting system in place of postal balloting provides no difference between the two. The shifting and manipulation of the numbers of arm-forces votes can still be easily done by the authority, with the latest example of the Draft 2011 2nd Quarter Electoral Roll where the there is drastic unjustifiable increase of the postal votes in the past 3 months in Ipoh Timur and Canning. This has further reaffirmed the importance of another demand for a clean and fair electoral system, the reform in the postal votes.

We urge the people to join and support our event of “Yellow Saturday”, by wearing anything in yellow every Saturday.

《黄潮星期六》首日:《黄潮星期六》于大巴刹掀起小黄潮 黄家和:选委会应接纳选举改革诉求

图4至图6：行动党领袖在巴刹内向市民讲解《黄潮星期六》运动。

民主行动党霹雳州桂和区州议员兼行动党宣传秘书黄家和律师于2011年7月30日（星期日）在怡保大巴刹发动近打谷《黄潮星球六》运动后所发表的新闻稿：

（怡保30日讯）民主行动党桂和区州议员黄家和律师表示，净选盟所提出的8大选举改革诉求对于改善国家选举制度、以及恢复人民信心有利无弊，选举委员会应该大方接纳8大选举改革诉求，全面改革国家选举制度。

也是行动党州宣传秘书的黄家和今天在行动党近打谷一行人的陪同下，于怡保大巴刹发动的《黄潮星期六》运动上，发表上述谈话。同时出席的行动党近打谷国州议员包括M古拉、西华古玛、林碧霞、岑卓能、木兰支部主席王紫茵、人权律师奥古斯丁以及各国州议员服务队成员等20余人，一行人在活动前拉开黄色布条，并全都穿上代表干净和公平选举的黄衣，到巴刹内分发黄色传单和黄色气球，掀起了一股小黄潮！

黄家和指出， 709大集会已经显示出人民的政治意识在不断地提升，以及要求干净和公平选举的意愿。《黄潮星期六》的主要目的就是在近打谷的每一个地方走透透，让人民更加了解709干净和公平选举的意义，以及有机会通过集会片段的录影亲眼目睹和平集会的全过程以及警方的高手段打压行动。

黄家和表示，选举委员会最近所宣布的一些改革选举制度建议都不见得可以带来任何的实际效益，更妄说可以为选举制度带来改革。选举委员会建议通过生物身份辨别系统，以确保没有双重投票的事件，但是实际上整个生物身份辨别系统本身就是容易遭人动手脚而产生舞弊事件。相对起生物身份辨别系统，8大诉求之一的不褪色墨水更是比较便宜和实际，有效解决双重投票的问题。

“同时，选委会建议将邮寄选票重新命名为提前投票，实际上也没有任何的分别，因为军警的选票数目依然容易不断的迁移，而怡保东区和桂和区在2011年第2期选名册的邮寄选票剧增、大大超越普通选票的增长率，就是最新的明证，而也再度印证了8大诉求之一改革邮寄选票诉求的重要性。”

怡保西区国会议员M古拉表示，只有确保干净和公平的选举，人民的选择才会获得保障、意愿才会获得尊重，这是民主制度的真谛。

端洛区州议员西华古玛则表示，行动党在发动《黄潮星期六》活动后，每个星期六将会穿上黄衣出席活动，同时也呼吁霹雳州子民可以踊跃响应，齐齐在每个星期六穿上黄衣，以间接的行动要求落实选举改革，确保第13届大选会有一个干净和公平的选举。

《紧急法令》论坛明晚怡东酒店举办 欢迎市民踊跃出席

民主行动党新闻稿:

（怡保20日讯）民主行动党近打谷3名州议员西华古玛、黄家和与林碧霞今天率领近打谷党员前往怡保旧街场分发即将在明晚7时半在怡保怡东酒店14楼主办的《紧急法令还合适吗？》论坛传单，获得市民热烈的反应。

民主行动党霹雳州署理主席兼端洛区州议员西华古玛透露，《紧急法令还合适吗？》论坛的主讲者包括民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥、霹雳州主席倪可汉、州委梁卓经以及人权律师奥古斯丁，各位主讲人将针对1969年紧急法令，从政治和法律的角度向群众讲解1969年紧急法令，以让市民对于这项类似内安法令、不为人知的法律有更大的认识。

“同时，我们也希望群众踊跃出席，以人民的力量施压政府立刻释放6名紧急法令扣留者。”

桂和区州议员黄家和也在分发传单活动上向市民表示，政府在709大集会之前以紧急法令逮捕和丰区国会议员再也古玛医生等6人，但是在大集会已经和平进行和结束超过10天后的今天，政府更是没有任何合理的理由继续扣留他们。

黄氏表示，与内安法令一样，政府使用紧急法令对再也古玛等6人进行无审讯的扣留，已经违反了基本的人权。

“如果政府或警方认为他们犯下任何罪行的话，为何不直接将他们控上法庭，让他们可以有一个公平审讯的机会为自己辩白？还是政府选择继续向他们扣上莫须有罪名，否决自辩的基本权利？”黄氏质问道。

除了西华古玛、黄家和与林碧霞3名近打谷州议员以外，一同出席这项活动的包括州委谢宝恒、选民登记局主任陈文彬、九洞第一支部主席罗思义等人。

Kedah ban on entertainment outlets during Ramadan Menteri Besar should revoke decision

Media Statement (3) by DAP Parliamentary Opposition Leader and MP for Ipoh Timor Lim Kit Siang in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, 14th July 2011:

I have been in contact with the DAP Kedah State Chairman and Kota Darul Aman State Assemblyman Lee Guan Aik on the Kedah ban on 13 types of entertainment outlets from operating during Ramadan.

Lee reports that Kedah DAP had never agreed to the ban and that the matter was never raised at the Kedah Pakatan Rakyat council level, although it was agreed that matters that might be sensitive to the different communities like the ban on entertainment outlets during Ramadan should be discussed at PR Kedah state council level first.

Lee also clarified that he had never agreed to such a ban in the Kedah State Assembly.

In the circumstances, the Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan should reconsider and revoke the decision to fully implement Kedah State Entertainment Enactment 1997, especially as the previous Barisan Nasional state government had not done so in the 11 years before it was ousted in the 2008 general elections.

DAP leaders will raise and discuss the issue of the Kedah ban on entertainment outlets during Ramadan at the meeting of Pakatan Rakyat national leaders next week.

净选盟成功觐见获元首斡旋 霹行动党:力证警方强硬行动不正确

图：林碧霞与黄家和率领万里望区服务队以及改朝换代小组，在万里望夜市场进行选民登记活动后。

民主行动党万里望区州议员林碧霞与桂和区州议员黄家和律师于2011年7月6日（星期三）在怡保所发表的联合新闻稿：

（怡保6日讯）民主行动党万里望区州议员林碧霞以及桂和区州议员黄家和律师今天异口同声表示，净选盟在国家元首发表特别御词后，成功觐见并获得国家元首斡旋，证明了过去十天警方采取强硬行动对待有关净选盟集会的活动是不正确的。

林碧霞与黄家和今天一同率领万里望区服务队以及改朝换代小组，在万里望夜市场进行选民登记活动后，向报界发表上述谈话。

也是民主行动党州财政的林碧霞表示，既然首相纳吉已经表示净选盟可以在体育馆内进行集会，政府和警方没有理由再对净选盟黄衣实施禁令，反而必须允许国民在集会当天穿上净选盟黄衣，自由步行到集会会场内。

霹雳州社青团团长黄家和说，在国家元首发表特别御词、以及接受净选盟的觐见后，已经证明净选盟并不是一个非法的组织，而其推动民主选举改革的努力也受到认同。内政部长拿督希山慕丁在短短的两天内，在没有任何法律基础之下，擅自宣布净选盟黄衣为非法物品、以及净选盟为非法组织的做法，很明显是错误的宣布。

“警方在过去10天制造白色恐怖、逮捕超过100名人士，对净选盟和民联的活动反应过敏，毫无疑问的已经成为国阵打压异议分子的工具。在国家治安日益败坏的时候，警方却不务正业，令人失望！”黄氏抨击道。

当天出席选民登记活动的包括万里望服务队成员陈文彬、詹忠松、朱松基以及改朝换代小组成员袁艳屏、黄云龙、许伟平等人，获得居民热烈的反应。万里望区州议员林碧霞则在一行人的协助下，售卖出近百份火箭报，令人振奋。

Photo 2: According to the notice from Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh, residents have to reply within 21 days.

Press Release by YB Wong Kah Woh, State Assemblyman for Canning on 01.07.2011 (Friday) in Ipoh:-

The Residents in Taman Kemuncak (Ipoh Garden East) has initiated a signature petition to oppose the application from a company known as Haluan Ikhlas Sdn Bhd for the conversion of category of land use for 4 pieces of land here from “none” to “Building” and the express conditions from “none” to “religious house”.

We received calls from the residents of Taman Kemuncak last week informing that the Local Council, Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh, had served the residents a notice stating that the Council had received an application from Haluan Ihhlas Sdn Bhd for the conversion of 4 pieces of land in Taman Kemuncak.

We have met with the residents last Saturday and a petition was prepared. The residents were unsure whether the owner has the intention of building a crematorium at the site. It is the view of the residents that the whole area is a residential area and shall not be used for religious purpose. The other feedbacks were that on the worries of the issue of traffic congestion together with the potential noise and air pollution.

We will continue to co-ordinate with the residents of Taman Kemuncak on this issue and arrange for the submission of the petition by the residents to Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh. We have also texted the Mayor, Datuk Haji Roshidi Hashim of the same and we urge MBI to initiate a session of hearing to hear the views of the residents.
