In a press statement today, its steering committee gave multiple examples of criticizing PH during by-elections, for accepting party hopping as well as criticising PH ministers including former finance minister Lim Guan Eng and former education minister Maszlee Malik.
The first of the four examples given by Bersih 2.0 touched on by-elections and the allegations that they did not criticise the government for electoral offences.
It gave evidence that many of its press statements were carried by multiple news organisations during the Tanjung Piai by-election, in which Bersih slammed Warisan during the Kimanis and Sandakan by-elections for using government resources in campaigns.
Bersih had also lodged police reports against PH and BN during the Semenyih by-elections.
In total the press release included eight news articles and media statements from various news organisations such as Astro Awani and The Malaysian Insight among others that covered the group during the various by-elections.
On party hopping, Bersih 2.0 reaffirmed its stance that MPs who cross the floors are traitors to the people’s mandate and strongly condemns the action.
“Early on Bersih have warned PH not to accept the political frogs who can threaten Malaysia’s democracy. Bersih 2.0 believes those that have hopped parties should resign.
“When the backdoor crisis happened, Bersih 2.0 and other civil organisations had once again issued a statement condemning the culprits. We demanded that those who had abandoned PH to resign because they have betrayed the people’s mandate,” said the statement.
The watchdog also denied disrespecting the Yang di Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah, saying that it has never issued any statements condemning the King but instead had issued statements respecting the royal institution.
Regarding the accusations that it favours PH over BN, the steering committee also gave several examples of press statements issued in the past where it had criticised and condemned PH ministers such as Maszlee Malik when he had prohibited opposition lawmakers from entering school grounds.
First, please read my earlier post BERSIH loses its plot since Maria Chin in which I penned (brief extracts only):
Maria Chin turned BERSIH into a more politically aligned NGO, one which assumed an anti-BN stance.
Why she did so may be a nice thesis for a PhD aspirant to look into, wakakaka, but I would recommend understanding her background and family matters as a starting point, wakakaka again.
... under her, BERSIH began to lose its non-aligned shine and consequently neutral credibility, and has not recovered since.
This recent pompous declaration by BERSIH on whom it supports in the PM8 tussle is typical of the consequences of the 2013 deviation of BERSIH, started by Maria Chin, when she altered (and thus destroyed) the politically non-aligned (politically neutral) nature of the NGO and its previous highly respected credibility (achieved under Ambiga Sreenevasan).
WTF has it got to do with 'reforming the Malaysian then electoral system to ensure free, clean and fair elections'?

Maria Chin's BERSIH "Selamatkan Ekonomi"??? - WTF |

BERSIH still doesn't get it when it claimed:
(a) “When the backdoor crisis happened, Bersih 2.0 and other civil organisations had once again issued a statement condemning the culprits. We demanded that those who had abandoned PH to resign because they have betrayed the people’s mandate”
(b) it had criticised and condemned PH ministers such as Maszlee Malik when he had prohibited opposition lawmakers from entering school grounds.
WTF have those got to do with 'reforming the Malaysian electoral system to ensure free, clean and fair elections'?
And WTF does BERSIH mean by 'Backdoor government' when that has to do with the Westminster parliamentary system, which HM the Agong upheld?
The point is that ever since Maria eff-ed BERSIH up good and proper, the NGO has NOT been able to regain its once non-aligned credibility it had enjoyed under the stewardship of Ambiga Sreenevasan.

backdoor mean not voted in by the people, legally right doesnt mean not backdoor. pn is a backdoor govt.
ReplyDeleteevery of the 222 MPs were VOTED IN by the rakyat. The government is made up of the MP who command the confidence of the MAJORITY of the 222 and the cabinet he he forms. Where's the backdoor government which has been made up of MPs NOT voted in by the voters?
Deletethe majority voter never vote umno n pas to be the govt, thats y its a backdoor.
Deleteyou are INcorrect. PH only received 48.3% of the total votes. Who did the 51.7% voted for for, definitely NOT PH.
DeleteYes, they voted for several other parties, but nonetheless I need to remind you that 51.7% did NOT vote for PH
so how is the current one diff from anwar 916 attempt which u bitch all this years?
Deletewas 916 true in terms of MP frogs?
Deleteif true mean okay n not backdoor? i think u use the word backdoor many times in yr past writes?
DeleteThe Moo administration is backdoor because this is NOT the administration that arose from GE 14.
ReplyDeleteMore than 50% of voters did not vote for PH is just a statistic , not Constitutional.
Malaysia does not operate a proportional representation election system.
The Moo government, even if it actually has the majority , which it has yet to prove in Parliament, is backdoor, because the majority is obtained via frogs.
Of course condemning the Sheraton frogs is relevant to "reforming the Malaysian electoral system to ensure free, clean and fair elections".
ReplyDeleteThe conspiracy completely overturns the collective will of the GE14 results
"WTF does BERSIH mean by 'Backdoor government' when that has to do with the Westminster parliamentary system, which HM the Agong upheld?"
ReplyDeleteWhat has happened is NOT by the spirit of the Westminster system.
If the ruling party elected in a General Elections no longer holds the majority in Parliament, then a General ection should be triggered.
It is NOT in the spirit of the Westminster System to simply appoint the earlier Opposition party form the Government.
What has happened multiple times in Australia is the PM of the Ruling Party no longer enjoys the majority support, and the Ruling Part elects a different MP to be the leader, and hence PM, that is NOT what happened in Malaysia.
In Australia and the UK, there has been such a creature as a 'minority' government, but which will NOT survive in Malaysia - even a majority govt like Pakatan Harapan couldn't survive, no doubt abetted by the sinister wicked intent of an extremely selfish Mahathir
