i think very few people sign because they are no aware an online petition exists. I didn't know until now. Why not get the Malaysia Today blog set a permanent link to the petition?

I beg to differ writer but I am confident that the reason why so little support is loaned in this petition effort is because..

NONE of us are CONVINCED that sending a petition to the federal government will ever WORK!

We are dealing with pricks who did not even take heed of the letters from the PM of Mongolia and here we are hoping to send a peaceful message hoping it would work?

I doubt it! I think we need to have several more bloggers sent to jail and prosecuted, riots riots riots riots and international broadcasting before these suckers even listen.

We all must thank PM for the freedom of info on internet so far. untill Raja Petra K jail for sedition, shit, this is the kind of gov we have, they are Umno, BN gov that is evil, why ? they are so corrupt, greedy, arrogant, why ?

what kind of go ? this is Umno, BN gov, that ill, treat and bully rakyat.


Dear Friends

I am seeking your awareness and support on the Bandar Mahkota Cheras free access road, which was illegally barricaded by the Grand Saga toll concessionaire in October 2005.

This Mahkota Cheras free access road was built by the developer during the construction of the Sg Long and Bandar Mahkota Cheras townships. When Grand Saga toll concessionaire built the Cheras highway, they blocked off this existing access road, with the support of the Barisan Nasional BN government, to force the people into paying a 60 cent toll for the concessionaire to make money. This toll was then increased to 90 cents, increasing the people's burden even further in the midst of economic downturn.

Pakatan Rakyat, the Opposition Coalition comprising DAP, PKR and PAS, in the 12th General Election, promised that if they won the Selangor State Government, the road will be opened for public use. Promptly keeping true to their promises, within one month after their victory, the road was opened for use on 21 April 2008, amid protests by the toll concessionaire and threats of arrests from the police.

Upon further checking, it has been confirmed that the road is under the State (Selangor) government jurisdiction, and the road itself belongs to the developer, therefore Grand Saga has no right to block this road.

On 7 May 2008, another historic day in Malaysia, the Royal Malaysian Police (Polis DiRaja Malaysia) once again proves their loyalty to the BN Federal Government and the toll concessionaire by launching an offensive against the Rakyat to allow Grand Saga to block the access road once more using one ton concrete blocks, barely two weeks after it was opened by the Selangor State Government. Within one hour after they reblocked the road, the Rakyat stood UNITED and by hand, they managed to remove the concrete blocks.

Yesterday, 8 May 2008, in another BLACK DAY for Malaysians, FRU and police sealed off the area and allowed Grand Saga to destroy the road by digging a 2 feet wide by 1 feet deep trench, thereby preventing any vehicle from accessing it. Between 10.30pm to 11.30pm, MP Segambut Lim Lip Eng (DAP) was assaulted by police and FRU personnel for trying to stop them from firing tear gas and chemical-laced water cannon at the Rakyat.

How many petitions have work in the past?

By the way here is an idea...

why don't instead of having regular citizens signing these petitions. We should have high profile representation to sign them. Here is a list of names I propose:

1. Mahathir
2. Dr. Sharribuu
3. Prime Minister of Mongolia
4. Prime Minister of Australia
5. Prime Minister of Singapore
6. etc etc.

I think having regular citizens, bloggers or even PR party reps is not shouting it loud enough. We need it to be endorsed by international representative. It is very ambitious and even impossible but I think it is the only way a petition could work.

Else, write a formal letter to international news agencies like Bloomberg, BBC, ABC, NBC, Reuters, Associated Press, etc to post news about lack of press freedom in Msia and post a petition link.

Kepada,
YAB Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi,
Perdana Menteri Malaysia.


Y.A.B. Datuk Seri,

Saya, Mohd Sofi Yassin, rakyat Malaysia bermastautin di negeri Selangor dengan ini merakamkan rasa kecewa dan hampa yang teramat terhadap kecelaruan dan kepincangan dalam pentadbiran kerajaan Malaysia yang diterajui oleh YAB Datuk Seri.

Sebagai rakyat Malaysia, Melayu dan beragama Islam, saya dengan penuh keinsafan dan rasa tanggungjawab mengatakan di sini bahawa terdapat banyak perkara yang amat bertentangan dengan prinsip Rukun Negara dan kedaulatan Negara yang telah YAB dan parti pemerintah di bawah pimpinan YAB telah lakukan.

Di antara kekecewaan saya ialah:

1. Kenapa berlaku pendakwaan terpilih yang keterlaluan dalam pentadbiran kerajaan Barisan Nasional / UMNO sejak dari dulu hingga sekarang, dan tiada usaha oleh YAB Datuk Seri untuk mengembalikan kedaulatan perlembagaan?

2. Ketegasan yang cuba YAB paparkan terhadap kes YB Karpal Singh dalam isu berkaitan ke bawah DYMM Sultan Perak, jelas menampakkan ketidakjujuran dan pendakwaan terpilih YAB dalam melayani permasalahan rakyat khususnya dalam urusan kedaulatan Raja-Raja Melayu.

3. Saya hanya akan bersetuju dengan ketegasan YAB jika tindakan dan siasatan yang sama dilakukan terhadap kesemua wakil rakyat Barisan Nasional di negeri Terengganu dan Perlis yang telah dengan jelas, angkuh, sombong dan bongkak mempertikaikan hak serta kedaulatan Sultan Terengganu dan Raja Perlis pada akhir bulan Mac dan April 2008 yang lalu?

4. Sementara dalam kes berkaitan pendakwaan dan penahanan YM. Raja Petra Kamaruddin, di mana kewajarannya tindakan tersebut dilakukan? Bukan kita berada dalam sebuah negara merdeka dan berdaulat, mempunyai undang-undang yang membenarkan YAB Dato’ Seri Najib mengambil tindakan secara berhemah, terhormat dan secara peribadi?. Sekiranya Dato’ Seri Najib merasakan dia difitnah, maka seharusnya beliaulah yang menyaman YM. Raja Petra. Kenapa mesti undang-undang yang mencengkam kebebasan rakyat yang digunakan oleh pemerintahan Barisan Nasional?

YAB Datuk Seri,

Saya sebagai rakyat Malaysia yang mengasihi pemimpin yang jujur, ikhlas, berilmu, dan bertanggungjawab ingin mencernakan dan meleraikan tanggapan saya dan rakyat Malaysia terbanyak terhadap beberapa keraguan berikut:

1. Semasa musim piliharaya umum ke 12 yang lalu, rakyat Malaysia telah dimaklumkan bahawa menantu Perdana Menteri, Khairy Jamaluddin dengan sedar, dan Datuk Seri juga menyedarinya telah mencampuri urusan pentadbiran negara sedangkan beliau atas sifat sebagai menantu Perdana Menteri tidak berhak melakukannya. Pertanyaan saya, apakah benar perkara ini? Kalau tidak benar, kenapakah majoriti rakyat Malaysia termasuk ahli UMNO sendiri mengakuinya? Bukankah ini perbuatan orang yang tidak amanah?

2. Saya dengan penuh kesedaran telah melihat beberapa gambar YAB Datuk Seri dalam keadaan dan kelakuan yang dapat saya takrifkan sebagai biadap, keterlaluan, tidak sopan dan amat menghina kesusilaan budaya masyarakat Melayu dan Agama Islam. Soalan saya apakah benar itu perbuatan Datuk Seri? Sekiranya benar itu perbuatan Datuk Seri, maka saya dengan penuh hormat berdasarkan hak saya sebagai rakyat Malaysia mencadangkan agar Datuk Seri memohon maaf secara terbuka kepada seluruh rakyat Malaysia atas kebiadapan Datuk Seri.

Sekian dan semoga Datuk Seri diberi pertunjuk daripada ALLAH SWT.


Ikhlas daripada

Mohd Sofi Yassin.
Rakyat Malaysia.

A greater awareness of a petition such as this is needed...and on a popular site like over here. The signatures had currently exceeded 600 and counting.
The govt can only ignore us for so long..till we grow to mammoth propotions.

Remember there is strength in numbers!
Remember what democracy is!!

Remember..Makkal Sakthi

Agreed with zul4kulim, petition is one of the options, and it not always successful, what if, do 1 petition online, and one for offline that is handled by sukarelawan. Just to sharpen the result.

Totally agree with mrgoh. Those BNazi bastards will simply ignore any petition, letters, memos, representatives, etc. (If you send them roses, the bastards will even gas you!)

In the past year, I found that a lot of 'information' were made available on MT, Malaysiakini and similar websites. If we keep doing this, the BNazi government might see the wisdom in making actual 'facts' available to the public, just to clear their names(eg. the Wikipedia's potrayal Sarawak's CM's shady dealings was brought up in Parliment yesterday).
