12. 56 years to have RCIESM ow

http://malaysiange13.blogspot.com/2013/05/156-ge2004-2008-and-2013-all-null-and.html

OPEN LETTER TO THE HOME AFFAIRS MINISTER, MALAYSIA Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi challenged us to show proof that Electoral Rolls are improper hence affecting the General Elections results.

11. N42 the Man at Sungai Sibuga as frauds of EC

The Sungai Sibuga Man – famous or infamous – you draw your conclusion

This is the seat of illegal CM Musa Aman in Sungai Sibuga in the Parliament Seat of Libarian N41 Gum Gum and N42  Sungai Sibuga

This is the proof of more corrupted electoral rolls ---  (see how EC cheated at counting below)

In GE 2004 -  In the Libarian seats,  Gum-Gum had 9,186 registered voters while Sungai Sibuga had 17,702.

In  GE2008 -   Gum Gum had 9,993 registered voters  while Sungai Sibuga had 21,442.

In GE2013, Gum-Gum had 11,734 registered voters while Sungai Sibuga had 28,038.

In 2013 in around Kota Kinabalu the registered voters

N12 – Karambunai  28,971;  N13 – Inanam  24,403; N14 – Likas 15,294;  N15 -

Api- Api  15,103;  N16 – Luyang 20,119; N17 Tanjung Aru 21.973; N18 Petagas 15,517; N19 Kapayan 26,767; N20 Moyog 17,556;.

Other semi rural seats like N02 – Tanjung Kapor 22,476; N04  Matunggong

19,977; N05 Tandek 22,220; N10 Sulaman 19,587;  N32 Pantai Manis 18,870; N37 Sook 16,354; Areas in Sandakan near Sungai Sibuga - N44 Karamunting  15,952; N45  Elopura  22,347; N46 Tanjung Papat;;  N50 Lahad Datu 25,232; 

The press and many people including the person himself are giving credit to Musa Aman  and very proud of the results especially in GE 2013 for the following:-

1. N42 has the BN/UMNO highest votes in Sabah (nobody mentioned N42 has the second highest number of voters after Karambunai);
2. N42 (28,038)  has the highest majority at 11,569. and second is N10 (19,587) Sulaman’s majority of 10,441 and third is N12 (28,971)  Karambunai’s majority 8,532.  (so all rewarded with high positions in the Cabinet).
3. The Election Commission must have considered itself very successful in getting many people in the Electoral Rolls in N42, N10, and N12.
4. Musa Aman has broken the jinx of 9 continuous years for CM of Sabah.

So can we consider the following known phenomenon in Sabah and elsewhere –

4.   Can we accept the electoral rolls for the very high voters especially N42 where for GE 2004 -   17,702 (already very high if compared with N41 - Gum-Gum’s 9,186); GE2008 -21,442 (N41 9,993) GE2013 -28,038 (N41 -11,734) for such unnatural increase in N42?

5. We know how the man in Sungai Sibuga is involved in Project IC since early 1990s and how such project IC holders are ‘parked’ in N42.  This is simply exposed by Tuan Hj Jabar Khan and R. Malleh.  We await further details from RCIIIS.
6. We know Election Commission is so capable to move voters around the constituencies especially over the last few GE2004, GE2008 and GE2013 with phantom voters especially the Project IC holders.  Marcel had filed a Writ for review on the questioned Electoral Rolls.
7. We also know who is the ‘vacuum cleaner’ in Sabah also the Finance Minister as per the Writ on Mazu of the plaintiff.  How much has this vacuum cleaner sucked in since 1994?
8. We also know the many cases near and far of corruption, land grabbing, abuses and much more by the man of N42 directly or indirectly.  The ‘exploded’ quarrying land in Tawau (Kukusan / Trig Hill reserve) has sort of exposed such deals.  Is the man also ‘part owner’ of the quarry firm?
9. There are many Police Reports on Musa Aman including some by myself.

So can we consider the following proposed measures to give solution now –

10. Can we have sight of the birth certificate of the man in N42?
11. Can we have sight of his school leaving certificates from Sabah College and All Saints’ School?
12. Can we have sight of his MBA certificate – an alleged fraud?
13. Can we have an DNA certificate for his link to a famous family in Sabah?
14.  Can we have his statements to the Police for many Police Reports lodged against him?
15. Can he be subpoenaed to appear before RCI on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah?
16. Can EC review the Electoral Roll of N42 and all the constituencies of Sabah?

If some people who claim to be Sabahans by birth and fully favour illegals by actions, words and conviction, are these people really genuine Sabahans? 

I have been alleged by the ILLEGAL leaders of Sabah especially by these persons since 1994 following the power grab as anti Government but I am anti ILLEGAL leaders and ILLEGAL GOVERNMENTS –Federal and State.

So I urge GENUINE SABAHANS  especially those socalled politicians and concerned  citizens stand up to make your stand now.

Please forward this VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE lest we become refugees in our own land.

Subject: Fwd: How they got around the Counting Agents Michelle Ding Sue Yean What happened? Why did the unofficial results vary so much from the final announced ones? I was a counting agent yesterday. Every candidate should have a Counting Agent (CA) to observe and verify the final count in the Saluran he/she is in. This final count, recounted as many times as necessary, in front of witnesses (CA)s fr all parties contesting - is then put in a form. The Borang 14. The final count is written plainly there, and is agreed, approved and signed by reps from all parties. And this is supposed to be final, brought to the main EC centre to be tallied. All ballot papers are sealed in bags and then in boxes. Because all the necessary recounts have already been done at each saluran. Really. We were very careful. Now each Counting Agent will also bring this signed copy back to their party base, and the count from all the different salurans are tallied there. This is how 'unofficial' results come about. Yesterday, by adding up all the 'scores' - it seemed like PR has won, and won big. But no announcements were made. At the EC's main counting centres, recounts were requested on seats that BN lost in (even after all the different saluran had already confirmed the count), blackouts happened, mystery boxes appear - and then suddenly - BN candidates are winning. And then and only then, The EC comes out with official result statements: BN has won this seat, BN has won this other seat. Too dodgy. When our country was born, the EC was formed independent from the executive, as it must be. Today, it answers to the Prime Minister Department. (Kinda like you organizing a contest, you make the rules, terms & conditions, and you are also contesting in it. After that you influence the judge's decision, and all judge's decisions are final. ) The EC has therefore, for a long time lost its voice and might I say, raison d'être. Depressing. This is Mahathir's doing. It was during his 'far too long' reign that he constitutionally made the EC slave of the PMO. FYI: It takes a 2/3 majority in Parliament to amend the constitution. Except for 1969, 2008, and now 2013, BN has always won 2/3 of Parliament, Sometimes even 90%. And here you don't really go against your supreme party or you get kicked out. This is also why our constitution has been amended way too many times and usually for the benefit of a select few. BN. UMNO. And all their cronies. The fact is: Democracy didn't die yesterday in Malaysia, it died a long time ago. The moment the EC ceased to be independent. We are finally realizing it, which means we are in motion to reclaim it. There is some form of respite in that, I guess. But we also know the journey ahead will not be easy. The way things are going, it looks like it will have to get a lot harder before it becomes better. For our sakes, and for our children and country - The people need to be resilient. We need to persevere. And we need to take important steps. Paramount to that is to urgently demand a complete reform of the Election Commission (SPR), detach it from the jurisdiction of the PMO, and give it back it's voice. That, I think, would be a very crucial first step to resuscitate our democracy. BattleForMalaysia -- Sent from a mobile device. Please excuse brevity & spelling.

Saya juga menyeru supaya semua rakyat Malaysia memakai baju atau apa-apa simbol hitam esok (Sabtu, 11 Mei 2013) sebagai tanda bantahan dan penolakan penipuan pilihan raya yang dibuat oleh Datuk Seri Najib Razak dengan kerjasama pimpinan atasan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR).
KEADILAN telah menubuhkan dua pasukan utama untuk menangani gerakan menolak keputusan pilihan raya akibat penipuan berleluasa.
Satu pasukan Panel Penyiasat Penipuan PRU13 (P4) diketuai oleh saya sendiri yang bertanggungjawab mengumpul semua bukti untuk dibawa ke pengetahuan umum agar mereka yang bertanggungjawab akan dibawa ke muka pengadilan.
Hasil dari siasatan ini akan digunakan untuk memfailkan petisyen pilihan raya di mahkamah, selain dari tindakan khusus terhadap individu yang terlibat di dalam penipuan pilihanraya termasuklah tindakan undang-undang terhadap mereka.
Saya akan menghuraikan skop tugasan dan mekanisme dalam satu siding media pada jam 9 pagi, Isnin 13 Mei 2013 di ibu pejabat KEADILAN.
Buat masa ini, sebarang bukti dan maklumat mengenai penipuan boleh dihantar kepada siasatpru13@gmail.com
Pasukan kedua diketuai oleh Datuk Johari Abdul, Ahli Parlimen Sungai Petani dan Ahli Majlis Pimpinan Pusat KEADILAN yang bertanggungjawab menguruskan gelombang #Black505 di seluruh negara.

7. An issue for RCIESM

Gross distortions in Malaysia's voting system

Ramesh Rajaratnam      http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/229578 8:23AM May 9, 2013

COMMENT The recently completed May 5 general election (GE13) revealed some interesting facts and figures based on the results as published by the Election Commission.

There have been, for a long time, much criticism of the ‘first past the post' (FPTP) election system we practise in Malaysia, because of what is inherent in this antiquated system.

The FPTP is one of the legacies of the British rule in Malaya and was based on giving all segments of the populace a voice in Parliament. Hence, constituency boundaries were drawn based on this segmental need for representation.

The original intention was noble indeed, that people in Sungai Buloh should have a voice in Parliament, just as those from Shah Alam, even though the Shah Alam constituency may have a population five times larger.

To prevent abuse and disproportional representation, certain limits were set when our founding fathers drew up the federal constitution. One important feature was that there should not be a population variance greater than 20 percent between the smallest and largest constituencies.

This safeguard was gradually eroded by successive ruling governments, since they enjoyed two-thirds majority Parliament to amend the country's laws, until this sanity check on societal representation was totally removed.

As a result of this, today we have 26,000 voters in Putrajaya, Igan (18,000) and Lubok Antu (19,000) commanding the same parliamentary voice as those in Kapar (144,000), Serdang (133,000) and Gombak (123,000).

This hardly seems fair when three small zones command an equal representation in Parliament, compared with their brethren who are at least five times larger, at least from the perspective of a majority rule.

Disproportionate representation

Criticism of such disproportionate representation led to some countries, such as New Zealand, Australia and Israel, modifying their electoral constituencies to be more representative and hence, the FPTP no longer applies in toto in these countries.

In a related example, besides throwing 90,000 tonnes of tea into the Atlantic Ocean, a new country was born some 237 years ago simply because its ‘rakyat' couldn't accept taxation without representation. One can draw similar parallels, if this inequitable scenario was to ensue here in Malaysia.
The greatest disservice of this FPTP system was shown clearly in Malaysia in GE13 when 915,560 voters in East Malaysia sent 48 BN candidates to our Parliament, or simply put, the average vote cost per BN lawmaker was 19,074.

Because of the severe skewering (aka gerrymandering) of the constituency delineations, it cost an average of 84,053 votes to get one Pakatan Rakyat MP in East Malaysia, or 4.4 times more expensive.

On the national average, it cost BN 39,381 votes per MP as opposed to Pakatan's 63,191 votes. Quite frankly, Pakatan had to work 60 percent harder than the BN had to.

What this means is that unless the present delineation boundaries are redrawn to fix this severe misrepresentation of societal voice, any opposition will need about 60 percent of the national votes to be on par with BN come election time, forever.

Here, I dare opine that GE13 was largely won by BN by capitalising on the severely disproportional FPTP system, rather than on phantom voters, repeat voters and such. Several jumbo jets full of Bangladeshis, Burmese and Nepalese could not have caused the damage to Pakatan as done by this antiquated Westminster delineation system.

From a strategic point, there should have been more focus in the territories where the opposition could have got more "bang for its ringgit" (pun intended) because the voter distribution and pattern (based on past election results) would have been known upfront anyway.

Admittedly, getting Pakatan's voice to the people in the jungles of Borneo would have been a Herculean task, given the physical and political hurdles.

However, mathematically speaking, if Pakatan had won the same number of seats from the 915,560 voters and maintained the same results in the peninsula, it would be firmly in power now.

Perhaps that's the reason why the BN is believed to have chartered several flights to carry voters from the peninsula to Sabah and Sarawak. I'm inclined to believe that the BN knew, from day one, that this was how it would win GE13.

Some interesting facts

Based on the Election Commission website, let me highlight these other interesting facts from the FPTP vis-à-vis GE13:

1) BN received 46.2 percent of the popular votes in Peninsular Malaysia and 54 percent in East Malaysia, or a national average of 47.4 percent.

2) Based on this, BN was able to garner almost 51 percent of the parliamentary seats in the peninsula and 87.3 percent of those in Sabah and Sarawak, for a national average of 60 percent, or 133 seats.

3) Interestingly, 8.2 percent of the voters (in Sabah and Sarawak) gave BN 22 percent of the parliamentary seats, meaning 39.2 percent of the voters (in the peninsula) gave it the remaining 38 percent in Parliament.

4) Pakatan received 54 percent of the popular votes in Peninsular Malaysia and 35 percent in East Malaysia, for a national average of 51 percent.

5) Based on the above, Pakatan was only able to garner 49 percent of the parliamentary seats in the peninsula and 12.7 percent of that in Sabah and Sarawak, for a national average of 40 percent, or 89 seats.

6) It cost Pakatan 21 percent and 441 percent more votes per MP in the peninsula and East Malaysia respectively, to be on par with BN. On average nationally, Pakatan had to work 60 percent harder per MP than the BN.

7) Because they only formed 29.8 percent of the voters in GE13, contrary to the "Chinese tsunami" conspiracy theory, even if 100 percent of Chinese Malaysians (and for good measure, let's also throw in 100 percent of Indian Malaysians as well) voted for the opposition, there is no way Pakatan could have logically garnered the support of 5,623,984 Malaysians.

Conservatively adjusting for a 25 percent Chinese support for MCA and Gerakan (as was seen where there was a large Chinese voter base), at least three million voters therein were Malay/bumiputera.

This means, conservatively, 42 percent of the Malay/bumiputera electorate in Malaysia actually voted for Pakatan nationally. To put this into proper context, there was no such Chinese tsunami but instead, it was a Malay/bumiputera tsunami because 56 percent of the opposition's votes actually came from the Malays/bumiputera.

For Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to have made this arithmetic blunder publicly was totally ill-advised and it has now caused needless uneasiness among the rakyat.

8) Finally, as explained earlier, 915,560 people, who are basically very removed from urban and national politicking, more or less sealed the fate of 11,054,577 voters or about 29 million people in Malaysia - thanks to the FPTP system.

Seriously and practically speaking, would anybody consider 3.2 percent (915,560) of Malaysians deciding the future of the country a fair run of democracy under the FPTP voting system?

Without a concerted effort from our MPs to make our country fairer by insisting on equitable representation in Parliament, it will indeed be very difficult for Najib to ask for national reconciliation when the very premise of his assertion was fundamentally flawed.

If you don't know what's broken, how can you fix it?

6. Tapah - a case for RCIESM

This is definitely electoral frauds aided and abetted by the Police.  Joshua



Subject: Tapah ( Perak ) Aspirant: Cops pushed me out of counting hall

Tapah aspirant: Cops pushed me out of counting hall

M Krishnamoorthy 5:07PM May 7, 2013

Exercising his constitutional right to justice at the Tapah vote counting centre proved to be disastrous for PKR parliamentary candidate K Vasantha Kumar.He was pushed out of the Tapah constituency counting centre, the Dewan Merdeka in the town, by members of the police Light Strike Force at 11pm on Sunday. Vasantha Kumar said eight policemen pushed him out after he queried Election Commission (EC) officers on what he calimed were irregularities as there were mixed votes in ballot boxes and missing ballot boxes. The missing boxes had not arrived at the counting centre as at 11pm. The postal votes had allegedly been combined with the parliamentary and state constituency ballot papers in the mixed ballot boxes.“I requested a recount because the parliamentary and state ballot papers were mixed up in one parliament ballot box. Further, there were ballot papers placed outside the box. “I made the request also because four boxes from Chenderiang and five boxes from Ayer Kuning were not in the counting hall at the Dewan Merdaka. Following the request, EC officers brought in two boxes from Ayer Kuning. The other seven boxes had still not arrived. “At the same time, I requested the 91 Form 14s from the 91 polling centres and an EC officer refused, Vasantha Kumar told Malaysiakini. “Some of the Form 14s were not properly signed and endorsed by the EC officers. “It was at this point that BN’s candidate, M Saravanan, came into the centre and raised his voice and ‘threatened’ me. “I told him to not interfere as this was a dispute between me and the EC. The dispute was over the ballot papers from the state seats of Chenderiang and Ayer Kuning. “At that point the results for the Perak state seats were 29 for BN and 28 for Pakatan. I insisted on the recount because the results from these two seats would be the deciding factor in the formation of the next Perak government. “When I insisted that these documents be produced before the announcement of the results, the returning officer instructed the olice to push my polling agents and me out of the hall.”At this juncture, Vasantha Kumar said, “Saravanan threw a chair at me while I was being pushed out.” “I was shocked when the police manhandled me, pushing me 50m out of the centre, while Saravanan and his assistant tried to attack me. However, the police stopped them.” Vasantha Kumar claimed that he and his counting agents were pushed out by the police all the way to the main road outside the hall.
‘No representative to monitor ballot boxes’ “The policemen then barricaded the counting hall and did not allow me to go in. At that time I had no representative inside in the hall to esnure that the ballot boxes were not tampered with.” He alleged that during this time, Saravanan and the two BN candidates for the two state seats (Chenderiang and Ayer Kuning) were allowed to be inside the hall as the results were being finalised.Vasantha Kumar said the EC officers directed the policemen to keep him outside the hall for about an hour. “After an hour I demanded that as the official candidate for Tapah, I should be allowed into the hall.” Upon his re-entry into the hall, Vasantha Kumar walked straight to the returning officer and requested the verification of the 91 Form 14s from all the 91 polling centres and a recount of the ballot papers. “The returning officer declined my request. He told me to take any dispute on the matter to the courts. “I disagreed with the results they were about to announce as the Form 14s were not furnished and there was no proper recount of the postal votes and ballot papers. Shortly afterward, about 1am, the results were announced - that BN’s Saravanan and its two state assembly candidates had won.” These two state assembly results clinched BN’s victory in the Perak state assembly, with 31 seats over Pakatan’s 28. Vasantha Kumar lodged a report at the Tapah police station at 1.30am yesterday. He said that he was willing to appear before any tribunal and provide his evidence, with video recordings and pictures of the high-handed actions on the part of the authorities. When contacted and asked about the presence of police in the counting hall, returning officer Razali Bakar said he could not make any statement without referring to the higher authorities.

5. Bribes for votes - no shame of BN/UMNO

Of cash and coercion during GE13 in Sabah

Jannie Lasimbang 9:59AM May 8, 2013

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/229474

ANALYSIS Setting aside allegations of non-citizens having been given identity cards to vote in the 13th general election, the sad fact remains that many indigenous communities in rural Sabah who have called for a change in the system have voted for BN candidates because of money politics, threats and misinformation.

These issues remain the biggest challenge for the opposition and for groups battling for a clean and fair election.

There are overwhelming reports from rural communities of cash distribution through the ketua kampung (village heads), heads of the village development and security committees (JKKK) and BN party workers.

While some Kadazan in Penampang have said that the money handouts did not influence their vote, many others from the more remote upper Moyog area said they felt obliged to vote for BN after receiving RM50 on the night of May 4, the eve of polling day.

With the distribution of BR1M, some were defensive when challenged as to why they felt obliged to vote for BN for such a small sum. The answer was "Baayan po" equivalent to ‘Syukurlah’ or better than nothing.

On polling day, BN ‘vouchers’ were still being handed out to those who were identified as BN supporters. The 'vouchers’, bearing the name and details of the voter, can later be used to claim RM100 in cash at an Umno branch office.

In Sook, Keningau, where demands for recognition of land rights issues have persisted and calls for a change in government have been made, BN received strong support in the polls after villagers were given unsigned land titles on May 3.

In one remote village in Paitan, it was reported that the PKR markas (station) was closed down after BN paid RM500 to its leader. This was also reported in a number of other villages. This closure meant that the opposition did not have a place to gather.

Apparently, many villagers in remote villages in Paitan felt obliged to vote for BN after receiving RM50-100 in cash.

Community leaders who were hoping that a change in government would end their longstanding land woes lamented "Kuat bah itu duit" (money is powerful).
Threats to revoke allocations

Another effective method used by the BN in rural villages was by threatening the cancellation of promised allocations for houses meant for those in hardcore poverty, and even the likelihood of taking back houses and water-tanks already given to them, should BN lose.

In the remote villages of Tandek in Kota Marudu, outsiders were stopped from entering the village by village and JKKK leaders on the instruction of the BN leaders there.

Community members were warned not to come out of their house if outsiders came to visit. Villagers described this action of their own community leaders as "kejam" (cruel) and disrespectful. The opposition was not allowed to use any of the public facilities or to organise ceramahs.

Despite their litany of problems that have persisted for years, these communities have never known another system of government for 50 years, and the possibilities that could come with a more committed and bold state and federal governments.
Blatant lies

Communities in remote villages are cut off from access to other forms of information apart from local radio and TV stations, which have been used as a tool for BN propaganda. As a result, they were very easily swayed by misinformation.

Issues relating to systemic corruption, abuse of power and funds, cronyism and human rights abuse are unheard of in remote areas simply because such information is not within their reach.

In Kg Lingkobungan 1 in Tandek in Kota Marudu, communities were told blatant lies by BN leaders that the owners of a plantation company that had destroyed their crops and their land belongs to PKR's Anwar Ibrahim and Lajim Ukin (left).

This extremely remote village, which was dislocated from an area near a river to a hillslope with limited gravity water-supply by the company, did not have any access to information or the means to verify the claim.

In contrast, remote villages in Pensiangan and Nabawan who were able to receive information, and were more open to hear of options offered by other parties, were not swayed in exercising their willingness to change the government through the ballot box.
Politics of personality

Many indigenous communities in rural Sabah wanting a change of government were divided between Pakatan Rakyat and Star, resulting in split votes and giving victory back to the BN.

These include the state constituencies of Kiulu, Kundasang, Paginatan, Tambunan, Liawan, Melalap, Nabawan and Elopura.

For parliamentary seats, a united opposition could have won an additional four seats in Kota Marudu, Tenom, Pensiangan and Keningau.
A divided opposition resulted not only in splitting communities but in dashed hopes for a change in government.

In many ways, the rural electorate of Sabah has been denied an effective voice through the election process to influence political parties to take their issues seriously because they are easily influenced by political personalities and promises of what they can do.

Without a more comprehensive understanding of good governance, the role of Parliament and the state legislative assembly, it would be difficult for rural electorate to see a complete picture of the role of political parties.

4. RCI should be called to pacify frauds

100,000 show of force at Post-GE13 rally

7:48PM May 8, 2013     http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/229564

LIVE REPORTS
11.40pm: Traffic congestion worsens and motorists continue to snake their way home. Some are even still trying to get to the stadium.

Malaysiakini reporter Aidila Razak was unable to make it to the stadium as she has been stuck in traffic for four hours.

11.27pm: Although the event is over, there are still people dressed in black walking towards the stadium from a couple of kilometres away.

Traffic is at an absolute standstill from least five kilometres away in various direction and many who were heading to the rally are still stuck.

This includes the Damansara-Puchong highway from the Federal Highway in one direction and Kelana Jaya LRT station in the other.

11.25pm: Met by reporters later, Anwar says he is impressed by the spontaneous turnout despite the rally only being called on Monday.

"I would not quit until we reach Putrajaya, until we expose all (fraud) and claim Putrajaya for the rakyat.

"They deserved it as we, Pakatan, won the popular vote,” he says.

Anwar then announced that there is to be another rally on Saturday in Penang, while they are still considering holing one in Ipoh on Friday.

11pm: Despite the drizzle, the crowd is still trickling into the stadium. Cars have been parked as far as 2km away and the party doesn't seem to end anytime soon for supporters.

Many cannot not make out their leaders' speeches but still chime in with chants of reformasi and ubah.

10.45pm: Gelang Patah MP Lim Kit Siang takes to the stage, after having earlier arrived via the back of a motorcycle.

He begins by thanking all Malaysians, even those who did not support the Pakatan coalition, for their commitment towards making the country and people stronger and states that now is the time to “turn our resolve into the tasks that can move our country forward”.

“Foremost is the need to properly account for all of the irregularities during an election that was not only the dirtiest election in our country’s history, but also the most marred in its process.

“We support Bersih’s people’s tribunal as an essential step for justice and transparency. We call on all Malaysians to come forward to share their experiences and help us get to the truth,” he says, and adds Pakatan also supports electoral petitions.

The DAP supremo says a victory that is earned through money, lies and manipulation is not a victory at all.

"The Malaysia I know is one that believes in fairness. The Malaysia that I know is one that believes in decency."

10.40pm: The way out of the stadium, heading towards Paradigm Mall is clogged as the car ferrying Abdul Khalid Ibrahim is forced to slow down as many people ask the latter to roll down his window so that they may take snapshots with him.

Khalid, meanwhile, smiles and graciously accomodates the requests of the crowd comprising of those leaving the stadium and those just heading in.
10.39pm: Pakatan Rakyat supremo Anwar Ibrahim declares that the people of Malaysia, be they Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan or Dayak, want free and fair election.

He is taking a dig at Utusan Malaysia’s inflammatory headline yesterday, "Apa lagi Cina mahu?".

Anwar says every Malaysian, regardless of race, want to reclaim their rights and they want BN to fall.

The crowd, which has now swelled to 80,000 responds enthusiastically, raising their fists in a show support.

10.26pm: With no traffic police guiding traffic, civilians have taken it upon themselves to help unclog the roads.

Almost all cars have their windows down and most are honking rhythms, in what appears to be the most jubilant traffic jam in the Klang Valley.

Along the LDP, people are still making their way to the stadium on foot.
Most of them wear black, to symbolise protest against what they allege as "electoral fraud".

Columns of cars and motorbikes, parked along the road and believed to belong to Pakatan supporters, have contributed to the traffic congestion. 
10.19pm: Many are also walking to the stadium from Paradigm Mall, undeterred by the fact the rally was to have started two hours ago.
Those seen walking comprise of youth of various races. 10.15pm: Those still on the road start unwinding their windows to chat with each other. Among them are middle-aged Malay women and a group of young Chinese men.

"There was a bus which came all the way from Johor!" a man tells another.

"Well, I came from Kedah!" another man replies.

Then a young Malay man flies a PAS flag out a window and a car ferrying group of young women of different races honk wildly in support.

The traffic light has changed several times but there is no room to move.
10.05pm: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim arrives. His arrival is greeted with wild cheers from the crowd, who also begin shouting, "Kami anak Malaysia".
10pm: Four kilometres from the venue, passengers on a bus and several cars alight from their vehicles and begin making their way to the rally on foot. All are dressed in black.

Meanwhile, men in a pick-up truck waves a PKR flag, to honks of support.
DAP leader Lim Kit Siang is spotted riding pillion on a motorbike in the effort to beat the traffic jam so that he could get to the stadium on time for his speech.
PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim is also seen being ferried to the venue on a motorbike.
9.33pm: The traffic jam from Kelana Jaya goes as far as the NPE toll near Sunway. According to Google Map Traffic, the whole of Petaling Jaya is in a gridlock.
9.30pm: The audio system in the stadium is not fully functioning, making it difficult for the speakers to be heard from outside the stadium or even from certain areas inside.

Participants inside are also still having difficulty accessing active phone lines. Meanwhile, there's a substantial spillover crowd at the entrance and spaces have run out inside the stadium.
9.25pm: Motorcyclists passing by drivers dressed in black but stuck in the traffic crawl on the LDP, yell out “Ini Kalilah”.

The roads around the stadium are clogged for several kilometres, with no sign of having eased over the past two hours.

Many people, adorning 'Ini Kalilah' T-shirst, are observed leaving their cars parked along the side of the highway and are legging it towards the stadium.
9.05pm: Stalls selling food and Pakatan memorabilia such as T-shirts, sashes and stickers, surround the stadium complex.

Meanwhile, people continue to stream into the stadium. All the seats have long been filled and so the crowd begin to sit on the field and running track.
9pm: PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli warns Utusan Malaysia that if they still play the racial card, they will face the wrath of Malay people.

“I am Malay, but I support Pakatan Rakyat,” he told the 50,000 crowd.
They are chanting "Najib, tipu", "Ubah" and blowing the noisy vuvuzelas.

Many of them have brought yellow flowers, symbolising Bersih, or clean and fair elections.
8.40pm: Many Pakatan Rakyat leaders tweeted that they are trapped in the traffic jam, including Tian Chua and Elizabeth Wong.
The drizzle has stopped and the participants of 'Suara Rakyat Suara Keramat' rally are packing up their umbrellas.
Newly-elected MP for Kelana Jaya Wong Chen takes the stage to address the excited crowd. 
Telephone lines around the stadium are congested.
8.35pm: The rain has caused roads near the area to be jam-packed from the junction with the Federal Highway until Paradigm Mall.

Some of the participants have parked their cars at the side of the main road and are walking about 1km to the Kelana Jaya stadium.

Some of them are wearing black T-shirts and are walking while shouting “Hidup! Hidup! Hidup rakyat!”
8.35pm: Massive traffic jams are reported in the vicinity of the stadium. Some participants have to walk more than 2km to get the venue.
"I am stuck in the biggest 'carpark' in the world. Haven't moved an inch for close to 15 minutes," reports Malaysiakini journalist Aidila Razak.
Those who have reached the stadium are finding it difficult to find a parking space.
8.15pm: Tens of thousands are already inside the stadium. The slight drizzle continues with the crowd unfurling their umbrellas or donning raincoats. 
7.30pm: PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim will today address his supporters for the first time since Sunday's elections, which he alleged were marred with fraudulent practices that ensured BN’s win.

The rally in Kelana Jaya today is expected to draw a large crowd eager to listen to their leaders after an election that has left many Pakatan Rakyat supporters unhappy.

The crowd is slowly trickling in, with the stadium about a quarter full as a slight drizzle falls on the grounds of the Kelana Jaya stadium.

No police presence has been spotted yet despite speculations that there will be tight police control around the stadium, which housed 50,000 supporters during a pre-election rally.
