Tuan Yang Dipertua,

Untuk maklumat Ahli-ahli Yang Berhormat di dalam Dewan Ini, sukacita dimaklumkan bahawa tidak ada pengundi hantu dalam daftar permilihan SPR, Justeru itu, SPR kurang faham apa yang dimksudkan oleh Ahli Yang Berhormat dari Seputeh mengenai pengundi hantu itu.

Tuan Yang Dipertua,

Apa yang ada didalam daftar pemilih SPR ialah lebih kurang 2.8 juta pemilih yang mendaftar di alamat yang tidak sama dengan alamat yang terdapat di dalam kad pengenalan mereka (more…)

I have asked a question about the racial composition in Sabah in the Parliament, and below is the answer that I received from PM’s Department. From the answer attached below, it is interesting to read that the government has divided the ethnic groups in Sabah in a few categories, the dubious one is “Other Bumiputera”(Bumiputera lain) which composed 19.5% and “other ethnics” (Lain-lain Etnik) which has 6.4% of the population in Sabah. If we add up the these two categories, it is 25.9% of the total population.

If we look at the percentage of “non citizen” in Sabah, it is 24.9%, which is very close to the total figure of “other Bumiputera” and “other ethnics”. This means the government has tried to hide the existence of thousands of migrants and illegal Filipino and Indonesian migrants in Sabah, and put them under the categories of “Other Bumiputera” and “Other ethnics”.

In view of the fact that the government has recognized that there is about 25% of the population in Sabah are non-citizen, it is high time for the government to address the issue of how to deal with the long over-due problem of migrants in Sabah, as well as the f thousands who have become fake MyKad holders and registered voters in Sabah.

Deputy IGP Datuk Musa Hassan has said that the Bukit Aman will set up a task force to investigate the allegation of rampant fake MyKad holders in Sabah. If the police can nap the syndicate behind the production of fake MyKad and identify the fake MyKad holders, will the government evict them from the land of Sabah and subsequently delete their names from the electoral roll, as a step to clean up the electoral roll and return justice to the people in Sabah?

Sad lah, Pak Lah!!

Tuesday, 21-03-2006

I feel very sad today and yesterday when I heard the speeches of UMNO MPs in Dewan Rakyat opposing the establishment of a Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

When these guys were giving their speeches, they also whacked me for allegedly defaming the police force and tarnishing its reputation.

Sri Gading MP, Mohamed Aziz, on Monday said that we should be grateful for the contribution made by the police and whacked me for exposing the Squatgate scandal which discredited the police. (more…)

” I’m not a police basher”

Sunday, 11-12-2005

The case of four Chinese nationals who claimed they were ill-treated by the police, followed by a video-clip of a naked woman asked to perform ear-squats in front of a policewoman in a police station propelled DAP publicity secretary Teresa Kok, 41, into the limelight. It has brought her more publicity than she could ever bargain for from her quiet work with her constituency.

The two-term Seputeh MP told HUSNA YUSOP she did not expect to create such an impact, taking pains to stress that she is not a police basher; just a person who fights for human rights, whoever it may be.

theSun: How have the past two weeks been since you showed the ear-squat video clip to MPs in Parliament on Nov 25? Has it affected your life?

I have become very, very busy. I never expected this to turn into an international issue that even had some impact on China-Malaysia relations. When I helped the women, I thought it was just one of the issues involving lock-ups. I was just trying to help them. I did not know them beforehand. So it was a bit unexpected. (more…)
