Halau kami macam anjing, tapi jemput orang Bangladesh mari...

Rasa tidak puas hati terhadap keputusan pilihan raya dan perasaan kecewa dengan kenyataan menteri dalam negeri terhadap mereka yang mempertikai keputusan itu mendorong kehadiran sebilangan peserta himpunan Suara Rakyat Suara Keramat edisi Negeri Sembilan semalam.

Seorang lelaki yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Dupa, 45 tahun, berkata beliau turut menyertai dua lagi himpunan sama di Johor Bahru dan Selangor walaupun menetap di Bahau, Negeri Sembilan.

"Kalau nak ikut, memang tak berpuas hati dengan keputusan pilihan raya tambahan pula ada banyak dakwaan penipuan melibatkan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR), dan (undi) anggota pasukan keselamatan," katanya.

Henry Ng, 28, (kiri), pula berpendapat kebanjiran orang ramai ke siri himpunan itu membuktikan Pakatan Rakyat sebenarnya 'memenangi' hati rakyat Malaysia dalam pilihan raya yang lalu walaupun masih belum berjaya membentuk kerajaan pusat.

Merujuk kepada kenyataan Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi yang menggesa golongan yang tidak berpuas hati dengan sistem pilihan raya agar berhijrah ke luar negara, Henry secara berjenaka berkata beliau berharap mereka yang berketurunan Tionghua sepertinya tidak disuruh pulang ke tanah besar China.

"Saya harap jangan suruh saya balik China," katanya sambil ketawa kecil tetapi kelihatan bersemangat selepas berjaya mendapatkan tandatangan Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pada baju-T yang dipakainya.

Rakan Henry, Ariel Ng, 26, pula berpendapat mereka yang meragui keputusan pilihan raya lalu tiada pilihan lain buat masa ini melainkan hadir ke himpunan demikian bagi menyatakan protes mereka.

"Keputusan pilihan raya tidak adil, kami tiada pilihan dan kami tidak tahu apa lagi yang kami boleh buat untuk masa ini," katanya.

Karen Ngoo, 46, (kiri) pula merasakan kenyataan Zahid Hamidi itu tidak wajar di kala terdapat dakwaan dan kontroversi mengenai pengundi hantu terutamanya yang melibatkan warga asing dari Bangladesh.

"Anda mahu halau kami orang Malaysia, tetapi orang Bangladesh dibawa masuk ke dalam negara.

"Anda mesti hormat kami, itu pengundi hantu Bangladesh-lah yang perlu dihalau," katanya.-malaysiakini

'They welcome Bangladeshis, but tell us to balik Cina'...

Anger at new home minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi who had told those dissatisfied with the 13th general election to leave the country, is fuelling the crowds at the Black 505 rally in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.

Participant Karen Ngoo, 46 (top photo), when met at the 30,000-strong rally last night said Zahid’s comment did not make sense, as there were many allegations of foreigners being allegedly brought in to vote.

“He wants to drive away us Malaysians, but Bangladeshis are being brought in to the country.

“He should show us respect. The Bangladeshi phantom voters are the ones who need to be sent away,” she said.

Zahid in a commentary piece published in Umno-owned daily Utusan Malaysia said those who were unhappy with the way the elections were conducted should "migrate elsewhere".

Meanwhile, another rally participant Dupa (left), 45, said his dissatisfaction with the way the general election was conducted has driven him to attend the Black 505 rallies in other regions such as Selangor and Johor Bahru, even though he lives in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan.

“If you ask me, yes, I am unhappy with the results of the general election. What with the allegations of fraud involving the Election Commission (EC), and (advance voting) by the security forces,” he said.

'What else can we do?'

Henry Ng, 28, said the huge crowds at the Black 505 rallies prove that Pakatan Rakyat has truly “won the hearts” of the people, even though the coalition failed to take over Putrajaya.

“I hope the government won’t tell us to go back to China,” he said chuckling, feeling in high spirits after having PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim sign his T-shirt.

His companion, Ariel Ng, 26, said they were unconvinced by the election results but had no other course of action, other than to attend the rallies as a sign of protest.

“The election results were unfair, but we have no choice. We don’t know what else we can do for now,” he said.

The hotly contested 13th general election was rife with complaints of alleged fraud even before the polling began.

The results where BN won control of the federal government through a simple parliamentary majority, but with a damning 48.2 percent of the popular vote, was seen by many as damning proof that the electoral process is flawed.-malaysiakini

Terkini...

Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Mukhriz Tun Dr Mahathir tidak akan membenarkan parti pembangkang mengadakan perhimpunan di Stadium Sultan Abdul Halim, Suka Menanti, Selasa ini kerana perhimpunan seperti itu tidak wajar diadakan.
  
Katanya walaupun beliau berpendapat mana-mana pihak boleh mengadakan perhimpunan tetapi pengisiannya perlu diteliti sebelum diberikan kebenaran.
  
"Perhimpunan ini yang telah diadakan di beberapa tempat di seluruh negara bertujuan menimbulkan rasa benci di kalangan peserta terhadap kerajaan yang mendapat mandat daripada rakyat untuk tubuhkan kerajaan Persekutuan serta di Kedah ini. Ini suatu yang tak boleh diterima.
  
"Kalau setakat nak berhimpun takde masalah. Ini kandungan ucapan oleh pemimpin pakatan pembangkang sarat dengan tohmahan dan dakwaan tidak berasas," katanya kepada pemberita selepas Majlis Kenduri Kesyukuran peringkat negeri di kediaman rasmi Menteri Besar, Seri Mentaloon di Alor Setar hari ini.

Maaf nu,la ni kami yang memerintah... sorry, tiada stadium untuk hangpa.

cheers.
