BN Perak Menteri Besar, Dato’ Zambry and BN must not divert people’s attention from their involvement in transferring voters from one constituency to another.
Dato’ Seri Mohd Nizar Bin Jamaluddin and I have raised our concern that BN is probably behind the transfer of voters who are supporters of PAS/PR from the Pasir Panjang Constituency (Nizar’s constituency) to my constituency of Sitiawan. This is to undermine Dato’s Seri Nizar’ success in the coming 13th General Election in his constituency when he won with 4,474 majority votes in 2008 (11,994 v. 7,520) while allowing DAP to continue to win the Sitiawan Seat. This is because the BN feels is unlikely to be reversed the result of the Sitiawan seat which DAP won by 8529 votes in 2008 (12,381 v. 3852). We have also raised the issue of BN behind removing PAS/PR supporters from the Pengkalan Baharu seat where BN won the seat by only 14 votes.
The media has on 16/10/2010 quoted Dato’ Seri Zambry, the BN Menteri Besar of Perak as saying that Dato’ Seri Nizar and I are probably behind the transfer of voters from Ipoh Timur, Ipoh Barat and Batu Gajah to Sungai Rapat (Dato’ Hamidah’s Constituency).
Dato Seri Nizar and I would like to categorically deny that we are involved in the shifting of voters as alleged by Dato’s Seri Zambry. I have also checked the DAP representatives of Ipoh Timur, Ipoh Barat and Batu Gajah and they are also not involved in the shifting of voters.
I call on Dato’s Zambry to answer specifically if BN is involved in the shifting of voters in the Perak as many have reported to us that BN is involved and will play dirty in this coming General Election. Zambry must not divert the people’s attention from their wrong doings.
Dato’ Seri Zambry and Dato’ Hamidah are involved in a show play (sandiwara). I have news that Dato’ Hamidah is no longer popular with the voters of Sg Rapat and is finding an excuse to move out and contest in Hulu Kinta. Dato Zambry is trying to help her. I understand that the present elected representative of Ulu Kinta (Dato Rosnah) is very upset by this move and there is an upheaval in UMNO. I hope Zambry and Hamidah will clarify the happenings in UMNO rather than shifting the people’s attention to other people.

Speech by Ngeh Koo Ham, Perak DAP Chairman at DAP Bidor dinner on 10/10/2010:
Agreement has been reached with M Kulasegaran to settle all differences through internal discussion. Our differences not because to seek position, glory or benefit but differences in opinion which occur in any organisation
I am happy to note that this afternoon I have reached an agreement with Sdr M Kulasegaran to settle all differences through internal discussion.
I would like to emphasise that our differences was not because we were seeking personal position, glory or benefit as some have tried to imply when our differences were exposed in the media.
Sdr M Kulasegaran and I have joined the DAP for more than 20 years ago at a time when joining the DAP means only sacrifice and risked being arrested (just after the 1987 Operation Lallang). We joined out of a duty to our nation and a call to contribute to our society.
I would like the public to realise that in any organisation be it in a Parents Teachers Association, a School Board, Chamber of Commerce, a committee of a religious organisation or a non-governmental organisation, there will be differences in opinion as they are made up of individuals. All the more, in a political party where more contentious matters will have to be dealt with.
Very often a decision made will inevitably make some unhappy. For example, when there are three qualified potential candidates for a constituency, only one candidate can be selected to contest on behalf of the political party. When a candidate is selected the other two will probably be unhappy. The public must realise that some unhappiness will be unavoidable in certain political decisions.
Similarly in the democratic system which we all subscribed to, there will be a winner and a loser in a contest.
What is important is that the party chose a candidate base on his merits and suitability. Similarly, leaders in a democratic process is elected to carry out the work that he has been elected to perform. Those who lost are also to help those elected to ensure the tasks ahead are successfully carried out.
Politicians very often have to make a decision in a non-ideal circumstances but the people will judge us with an ideal mind.
I hope the public will not see any differences in opinion as a split, a fractional or factional politicking.

Deeply regret that media will give coverage to a poison pen letter which was obviously false and a piece of rubbish.
Media Statement
Deeply regret that media will give coverage to a poison pen letter which was obviously false and a piece of rubbish.
I refer to the media coverage concerning a poison letter which has been circulating even before 1/10/2010. I deeply regret that the media should give coverage to such a piece of rubbish.
The letter has no author, no date, no address or contact number and its contents obviously false.
It was addressed to 19 DAP State elected representatives and 6 DAP MPs in the Perak State. (Note: The DAP has only 18 State elected representatives in the State of Perak).
It alleges that all the 6 MPs and 19 State elected representatives were given timber concessions and each of them were paid RM500,000-00 for each of timber concession. No one in his right mind would ever believe that YB Lim Kit Siang, myself, YB M. Kula, YB Nga Kor Ming, YB Fong Po Kuan and YB M. Manogaran and all the other State Assemblymen/women of the DAP would be involved in such a scandal.
If anyone has any evidence of any corrupt practice, against any DAP elected representative, he can easily sell it to UMNO/BN for a million ringgit each. The evidence will ensure that DAP/PR will not get the trust of the people and therefore, the mandate to lead the State in the next General Election.
The records of PR’s administration are in the hands of the BN Perak Government and BN has taken control the Perak State since 6/2/2009. If there is evidence of corruption, they would have exposed it long time ago. The police and the MACC would have been after us a long time ago. Imagine how the MACC went after PR leaders in the Teoh Beng Hock case when the alleged (which is not true) misuse of fund was only about RM2,400.00.
On the contrary, the Auditor General’s office which is a department of the Federal Government has given the PR Perak Government an unprecedented 4 Star excellent performance rating for PR’s short administration of Perak.
I believe the poison letter is not an inside job as speculated by some because it implicates all MPs and State Representatives of the Perak DAP. It was circulated before the outburst of Sdr M. Kulasegaran on the night of 1st October, 2010 when he announced his intention to leave the Perak DAP.
I believe, just like the demonstration by a group of protestors ( who claimed to be DAP members but are not ) in front of DAP Perak on 6/10/2010, it is the work of BN or its supporter. SATU LAGI PROJEK BN.

Demonstration in front of DAP Perak Headquarters. PR members and the public must be wary of dirty tactics employed by BN
Media Statement
Demonstration in front of DAP Perak Headquarters. PR members and the public must be wary of dirty tactics employed by BN
At around 11.00am this morning a group of about 20 mainly Indian youths demonstrated in front of the DAP Perak headquarters. They claimed to be DAP members from the Buntong branches and members of the PR Youths in Perak.
I have now verified from Buntong DAP branches and our national membership record that those who participated in the demonstration are not DAP members.
We suspect BN is behind the demonstration as the former Ipoh Barat PKR division chief, Fauzi Muda was seen among the group. Can BN owns up?
A police report will be lodge by a representative from the Buntong DAP branches against this group for impersonating as DAP members tomorrow.
We urge DAP members and the public to stay calm and be wary of the dirty tactics employed by UMNO/BN which we have witnessed repeatedly in Penang.
I call on the people to stay on course with PR in our mission to save the nation from bankruptcy and destruction by changing the BN government in the coming 13th General Election.
Dated this 6th day of October 2010.

Forgive us if we have been less than perfect in handling DAP Perak problems. DAP Perak calls on the public to allow it to resolve its problems interna
Speech by Dato’ Ngeh Koo Ham, DAP Perak Chairman at the DAP Taman Kanthan Jaya dinner last night (Sunday 3rd October 2010) at Kwan Ti Meow hall (Temple hall), Perak.
Forgive us if we have been less than perfect in handling DAP Perak problems. DAP Perak calls on the public to allow it to resolve its problems internally and calls on the people to continue to support the DAP for what it stands for and for its proven track record.
Today almost all the newpapers give headline coverage with regard to the intended resignation of Sdr M. Kulasegaran from DAP Perak.
Thank you to the many who have expressed their concern for the unity and the solidarity of DAP Perak. As Chairman I will be the first to be concerned that they are maintained.
After M. Kula informed the media concerning his intended resignation, many unfair articles have been written and hurtful comments made against me and my cousin, Nga Kor Ming. We became the target of hate and are exposed to the attacks of our enemies. For the above reasons, I have earlier expressed my regret that M. Kula should expose internal matters to the media.
I would like to have may side of the story told but I would be committing the same error. I will be exposing my comrades and the party to the attacks of the enemy. A soldier will keep a secret to safeguard a nation and risked being shot. I will willingly suffer the injustice of being denied the right to reply and be subjected to hurtful attacks that have been assailed against me than to put my party in jeopardy and cause the mission of the people to be derailed.
The people’s mission is to have a change of government in the coming 13th General Election to save the nation from bankruptcy and destruction.
Just like any organisation be it a School Board, Parents Teachers Association, a church committee, a temple committee or a Non Government Organisation, there are bound to be differences because they are made up of individuals. Whatever differences, they must be resolved internally lest it brings negative impact and image to the organization. I believe whatever differences, M. Kula has with me or with others, they can be resolved internally. I asked that you do not hate M. Kula for what he has transpired. I asked that you do not hate me or my cousin, Nga Kor Ming after hearing one side of the story. You may have judged us wrongly and unfairly. Please support each and every leader of the DAP. Allow us to settle our differences internally just like you would with other organizations.
You must continue to support the DAP for what it stands for and for its proven track record. Each and every support is needed to accomplish our coming mission. I hope this episode will not in any way erode your confidence in the DAP and PR. Forgive us if we have acted less that perfect in the abovesaid episode.

Menteri Besar Perak (BN) Should Explain Why The Sudden Drop Of RM247.5 Million In State Reserve In Less Than 2 Mths Or He Lied To The Perak State Ass.
Perak Statement
BN Perak Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir, the court appointed Menteri Besar must explain why the sudden drop of RM247.5 Million in State reserve in less than 2 months or did he lied to the Perak State Assembly?
On 3/8/2010, Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir stated in the Perak State Assembly that the State has RM847.5 Million (according to book value) in reserve or RM928.36 Million if based on current market value.
The New Sunday Times in its 26/9/2010 edition quoted the Perak State current reserve stands only at RM600 Millions. Why a sudden drop of RM247.5 Millions in less than 2 months?
At the 3/8/2010 State Assembly sitting, Dato’ Zamry boasted an increase in revenue of RM117.26 Milliion for the period of January to July 2010. What has happened to this additional amount? The state reserve should have increased in view of this additional income.
Dato’ Zambry has nothing to boast concerning this additional RM117.26 million as I was given to understand this amount comes mainly from land premium payments. I was not given the opportunity to verify this from the State Government as Dato’ Seri Zambry has insisted that the State Assembly can only sit for one day so that the elected representatives do not have the opportunity to question the state government on numerous issues. Income from land premiums only mean that the BN government has been approving many pieces of land to cronies at prices much below the market value. The increase in income was not due to good governance, competence, thriftiness or creation of wealth through effective development programmes.
The New Sunday Times report further quoted the State Financial Officer Datuk Jamalludin Al Amini Ahmad as saying that the State Treasury is recommending a RM50.0 Million deficit budget for 2011. Why further deficit when there is so much additional income?
Under the Pakatan Rakyat 10 months’ rule, we increased the revenue by RM103 Million or about 17% of the state revenue without increasing any form of taxes despite giving water, study grants and other assistance to the poor. We also collected only nominal premium and quit rent for conversion of agricultural land to building category for non profit organizations like the schools, religious organization and dialysis centres which amount to millions of ringgit.
Dato’ Zambry and the BN State Government have a duty to answer the people with regard to the abovesaid matters.
The people demands transparency and accountability from BN Perak Government but many people reminded me not to expect too much from robbers.

霹雳州人民在哀悼。不要强迫我们庆祝。
霹雳州人民在哀悼。不要强迫我们庆祝。如果强迫我们悬挂国旗和州旗，那我们是否可以升半旗呢？
怡保市长拿督罗西迪强制商家必须在霹雳州苏丹华诞和国庆日悬挂国旗和州旗，不然商家将被罚款250令吉及被夺回营业执照。
霹雳州人民在哀悼中，因为他们没有机会投选所要的政府，这犹如马来亚当时被统治的情况。民主已在霹雳州死亡。当州议会进行时，许多警员包围及控制着霹雳州议会大厦。在国政的指示下，合法的州议会议长，Mr. V.Sivakumar被警员们强迫拉出州议会。警方在按照国政的指示下行事，也可以违反法律。霹雳州也因此成为了警察州。州议会已不再是商讨与辩论州事的地方。各代表也没有机会自由地发表。周内年度预算案只在短短的20分钟内被通过。与此同时，州议会也在一天内结束。这情况使到霹雳州人民，同时也包括马来西亚人民感觉到8月31日的国家独立日不再有意义了。
大家应该允许霹雳州人民在8月31日哀悼，也认同他们在当天穿上黑衣或悬挂黑色旗，因这可能减轻霹雳州人民在国政的压迫下所受到的不公平待遇。
在这强迫人民悬挂国旗和州旗的情况下，犹如当时日本统治马来亚，一样的强迫人民悬挂日本旗和向日本政府宣誓效忠。
如果国政政府和怡保市长坚持这条例，请问商家们是否能得到允许升半旗呢？
