M For Malaysia : Past, Present & Future
A true state of "Democracy" in Malaysia video, drawing parallels to the movie "V for Vendetta".
Malaysia Mis-information Minister claims that the General Elelction every 5 years means that we have democracy in Malayisia.
Democracy is more than having elections. Democracy is the freedom to peaceful gathering. Democracy is the freedom of speech. Democracy is the freedom to express opposing views.
There can be no democracy without elections.
But there can also be elections without democracy.
The administration of the Malaysian government is moving towards complete total hegemonic domination which makes it no difference to the dictactorship of Chancellor Adam Sutler in the movie "V For Vendetta".
Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch commented "Prime Minister Badawi claims to be a reformer, but when it comes to holding onto power, he and his party make one set of rules for themselves and another for everyone else."
It's time for political reform in Malaysia. Vote for change.
People should not be afraid of their governments.
Governments should be afraid of their people.

UPM Violence - Samseng di Universiti Putra Malaysia
Gangsterism reared its ugly head in Univerisiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) when about 50 "pro-establishment" students took the law into their own hands and manhandled seven students who are members of an organisation perceived to be "anti-establishment" last Monday (July 17, 2006).
A video clip obtained by theSun showed the large group surrounding and pushing about six members of the UPM Student Progressive Front (SPF) in the campus canteen.
Giving an account of the incident to theSun today, third-year Chinese Studies student Lim Sok Swan said she and six other friends were manning a help counter for new students when the incident started.
Lim said a group of about 50 students led by a student council leader suddenly surrounded and scolded them for setting up the help counter when the SPF is not a registered body.
"They demanded we leave within 10 minutes, saying we are not allowed to be there to disturb students.
"We replied that we were just helping students' welfare and denied disturbing anyone as it was in a canteen that is open to everyone," she said.
"We had done nothing wrong ,so we declined to leave. They then pushed us away and removed our tables, chairs and flyers," she added.
She alleged that campus security officers who were present did not offer any help and merely watched.
"I was very scared," Lim said, adding she called the police as she felt the tension was escalating.
"They only stopped harrassing us when police officers arrived," she added.
Another student said she was pushed and fell on the floor when trying to take some photographs of what was happening.
The student who said her camera broke when it fell lodged a police report at the Seri Serdang police station.
"A similar incident took place on July 11(2006) where a group of 'pro-establishment' students tore up our materials at the help desk," she added.
Meanwhile, Suaram coordinator Chang Lih Kang urged the Higher Education Ministry, the police and UPM's authorities to investigate and take action against the culprits.
"It's a crime to intimidate someone," he said, adding that at least 15 police reports have been lodged over the incident.
Meanwhile, Subang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Fuad Talib said police have received five reports from the students.
He said investigations revealed that the incident arose as a result of a misunderstanding over an event organised by the students.
He said apart from some pushing and jostling among the students at the time of incident, no one was reported to have been assaulted.
Mohd Fuad said police have spoken to UPM officials and have left the matter to be resolved internally.
"But our officers will continue monitoring the situation to avoid any untoward incident in future," he said.
UPM vice-chancellor Prof Dr Nik Mustapha R. Abdullah and deputy vice-chancellor (student affairs and alumni) Assoc Prof Dr Azali Mohamed could not be reached for comment today (July 20, 2006).

Malaysian Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin defends police action against protesters calling for changes to electoral process.
Zam Refutes Al Jazeera's Claim Police Used Force On Protesters
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin has refuted satellite television station Al Jazeera's claim that police had used force on hundreds of protesters here today.
He told the station that police had tried to disperse the protesters by using water cannons as the gathering was illegal. "When they refused to disperse, the police allowed them to march to Istana Negara to hand over a memorandum demanding for a clean and fair election.
"The police managed to handle the situation as best they could," he said over the phone in a live interview by Al Jazeera here.
He was responding to the illegal assembly organised by the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections or "Bersih" comprising 26 non-governmental organisations and which also involved opposition parties, to hand over the memorandum containing their demands, to Istana Negara.
Asked why Malaysia did not allow such gatherings, Zainuddin said they were unnecessary because general elections had been held without fail in this country and according to the scheduled dates.
The minister also hit out at Al Jazeera for having the wrong perception when posing questions.
Al Jazeera reporters had their own perceptions about Malaysia before coming here, he said, adding that "Malaysia is not Myanmar or Pakistan; it is a democratic country".
Zainuddin said many television viewers in Malaysia were laughing at the antics of the Al Jazeera reporter who seemed to be trying to portray the situation as ugly.
"The reporter was seen shouting, so much so the situation seemed unreal to the viewers."
He also criticised Al Jazeera for only interviewing journalists known to be pro-opposition but not getting the government's views.

Parlimen Malaysia - Rafidah's Rare Appearence in Parliment
DISAPPROVAL PERMITTED
On the home front, disclosures involved the names of Approved Permit (AP) recipients, which were made public after queries about the basis of their issuance arose.
Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz was grilled by her peers in the cabinet and Parliament over inconsistencies in the issuance of Approved Permits (APs) for import of foreign cars.
On July 19 in response to fierce queries and criticism, the complete list of individuals who had received APs since 1970 was disclosed.
The names included politicians, royalty, children of prominent Malaysians and two ministry officers, Datuk Seri Syed Azman Syed Ibrahim and Datuk Mohd Haniff Abd Aziz - who received the APs jointly and through several other companies.
The issue was first invoked on June 28 by then Proton CEO Tengku Mahaleel Ariff, (pix, below) who in an interview with the Chinese-language Oriental Daily said the government had been treating Proton unfairly and did not support it enough.
Subsequently he went on leave, two months before his contract (which was not renewed) expired.
A few days later former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad defended Mahaleel and raised the fact that the issuance of 67,000 APs in 2004 had affected Proton sales. The Proton adviser also questioned the under-declaration of Korean cars imported to Malaysia.
Mahathir queried how 20 companies could be given the bulk of more than 50,000 APs when the government's aim was to assist as many bumiputra businessmen as possible.
The chain of events linked to the issue saw Rafidah having to answer questions to the cabinet and Parliament - which the fiery leader did; living up to her "Iron Lady" image.
For the first time she also publicly revealed her softer side, breaking down during a press conference, while reading out portions of the letter she wrote to Mahathir responding to his queries, saying that she was saddened by allegations that she was disrespectful to the former prime minister. (Highlights of the debate are at right).
The Anti-Corruption Agency too probed the matter and visited the ministry, interviewing several staff members from various departments, including the AP department on Aug 5.
The episode led to a review of the AP policy, which was incorporated into the National Automotive Policy framework.
This was following the cabinet's detection of several weaknesses in the previous AP policy after a detailed explanation by Rafidah.
