Pakatan should study law before lodging complaints on electoral misconducts

13 March 2012

It is obvious that Pakatan Rakyat does not have any knowledge in running the government. Today, Pakatan Rakyat had failed to file a complaint on family members of military personnel being registered as postal voters in the Kuala Kubu Bharu constituency. Despite that, they had said that they will try lodging the report again. I therefore urge Pakatan Rakyat to study the Elections Act before they proceed to launch any complaints as it serves only to waste the public’s time and money.

Spouses of military personnel are indeed entitled to be registered as postal voters according to the Elections Act 1958, and the Registration (Registration of Electors) Regulations 2002, Section 2(b). Thus, I can only conclude that the federal opposition is only seeking to create issues to mislead the public that the coming 13th General Elections will be an unfair process.



Besides that, according to an Elections Commission officer, whenever Pakatan Rakyat fails to lodge a complaint, they must pay RM150 to the respondents as compensation for any inconvenience caused. However, Pakatan Rakyat does not have enough money to pay them thus leading to displeasure among the respondents at the hearing today. The respondents had nevertheless insisted that they be paid by today as any delay in payment will be unfair as they were needed to attend the hearing on time.



Here we can see that Pakatan Rakyat was willing to lodge complaints but unwilling to pay compensation. We can see that Pakatan Rakyat had hoped to discourage the spouses of military personnel from attending the hearing in order to prevent them from defending themselves against any slanderous accusations. This is simply irresponsible and is against proper procedures.

In my opinion, I believe that anyone who wishes to file a complaint should pay the compensation in advance to the Elections Commission in order to avoid any dispute of payment, as well as to prevent certain quarters from making up absurd complaints.

I also wonder if DAP Kampung Tunku state assemblyman Lau Weng San will decide to waste the public’s money by taking the compensation money from the Selangor state government to pay off the respondents.

行动党漠视现实,浪费人民的时间和金钱

3月12日(星期一),新古毛区州议员黄冠文揶揄民联没有执政的智慧,在反对军警家眷成为邮寄选民失败后,还要坚持继续上诉。他也促请民联事前应该先了解军警家眷成为邮寄选民的合法性后再作出上诉,勿为了反对而反对,浪费人民的时间和金钱。

黄冠文在出席今天选举委员会在乌雪土地局召开的听证会后如是表示。黄冠文表示,由于军警值勤地点调动率高,为方便军警妻子跟随丈夫投票,2002年的选举法令第2b条文,赋予军警家眷有资格成为邮寄选民。他也表示,这次的事件是民联在制造课题,误导人民以为中央政府通过邮寄选民改变选票结果,制造选举不公平的假象。



另外,根据选委会的消息,如果民联上诉失败,他们必须支付150令吉赔偿金给出席这次乌雪选委会听证会的军警家眷。由于今天民联并没有准备现金,以便能够即时支付150令吉的赔偿金,导致出席听证会的人士不满。出席这次听证会的军警家眷坚持民联必须在今天之内付清所有的赔偿金。



一位陪同妻子出席这次听证会的人士批评民联是在浪费人民的时间,由于一早就必须出席听证会至中午,他家中还有孩子还没吃午饭,最后,民联又无法马上支付赔偿金,需要他们继续在土地局等待,如果民联还要拖延他们的赔偿金,这样对他们非常不公平。他为此感到非常不满。

黄冠文也抨击民联在做出反对选民的同时,却没有准备赔偿金,由此可看出民联是一厢情愿的认为军警家眷无法出席这次的听证会,捍卫他们本身的权益。他认为民联这么做是不负责任和不依程序办事。

“我也希望选举委员会能够修改条例,任何人在提出投诉的时候,必须预先支付上诉失败后的赔偿金作为抵押,这样可以避免有人利用此漏洞胡乱做出上诉,浪费大家的时间,也可以避免被投诉人和投诉人之间发生争执。”

“我也要求新古毛选区的领养议员刘永山澄清这次的赔偿金是否由州政府承担?民联这么做是否在浪费人民的钱?”

他也提醒民联的县议员和协调官应该多关注新古毛选区的人民所面对的各种民生问题,尽自己的本分为人民带来更好的服务。黄冠文也表示今早才接到新古毛居民投诉乌雪县议会无法替他们解决问题,为此感到非常失望。

“县议员每月领取上千元的津贴,但是,县议会却经常以各种理由拒绝协助本地的人民解决问题,实在说不过去。如果,民联县议员无法有效地为人民服务,他们就是在浪费人民的钱。”

颁发援助金给叻思风灾灾民

3月12日,新古毛区州议员黄冠文移交总共2000令吉的援助金给4个遭遇风灾的灾民。



早前因强风吹袭,叻思新村一所屋子一半的屋顶倒塌,另外,叻思镇花园数间屋子的屋顶被强风捲走,屋顶出现破洞,有者严重到整个前院屋顶被强风刮走。但是,庆幸事发时没有发生人命伤亡事件。

黄冠文表示,虽然援助金并不是大数目,但是,希望能够协助灾民应付一些善后的工作。

另外,他也认为叻思镇花园第六路的屋子前面是一片空地,而屋前也没有树木阻隔,减低风力,才会经常发生屋顶被强风吹走的问题。他促请县议会应该在该区种植树木,作为阻挡强风的屏障。

刘永山应该关注领养选区民生问题;透明化公布拨款去处

3月2日(星期五),新古毛区州议员黄冠文对甘榜东姑区州议员刘永山转移话题的功力感到惊讶。黄冠文强调,由于军警值勤地点调动率高,为方便军警妻子跟随丈夫投票,2002年的选举法令第2b条文,赋予军警家眷有资格成为邮寄选民,因此,刘永山对此做出反对是多此一举的做法。

“刘永山可以反对这项条例,但是,他应该通过选举委员会修改这项条例,而非以此课题表达表达邮寄选民可以改变选票的结果,误导人民以为选举不公平。”

黄冠文指出,刘永山在早前的文告中挑战他出示证据证明邮寄选票非趋向支持国阵的做法,正是要误导人民以为邮寄选票就是投国阵的伎俩。他也批评刘永山鸵鸟心态,在无法证明邮寄选票全部是趋向国阵后,就制造另一个话题企图转移人民的视线。

他促请刘永山勿为了反对而反对,事前应该先了解军警家眷成为邮寄选民的合法性后再作出上诉,避免浪费大家宝贵的时间和金钱。

黄冠文也提醒刘永山身为雪州执政党议员兼新古毛选区的领养议员,更应该关注新古毛选区的人民所面对的各种民生问题,在这方面多下功夫,为人民带来更好的福利。他表示自民联执政雪州以来,他经常收到县议会或县议员无法替人民解决问题的投诉。

“县议会经常以经费不足为由,拒绝协助本地的人民提升基设,但是,却有能力支付县议员们上千元的津贴,实在说不过去。县议员如果无法有效地为人民服务,就是在浪费人民的钱。”

黄冠文批评刘永山没有尽责监督县议会和县议员们的工作表现。他说,州政府每年给新古毛选区的50万拨款由刘永山接管,如果县议会经费不足,刘永山有责任想办法协助县议会解决人民的问题。他也促请刘永山能够透明化地对外公布到底每年州政府给新古毛选区的50万拨款是用在什么地方,以便厘清这些拨款是否被挪用在其他的地方。
