Perak State is in a stand still mode and the people suffer as a result. Call on the people to boycott Zambry and his exco for refusing to bow to the wishes of the people that the Perak State Legislative Assembly be dissolved and a fresh election called to resolve the present predicament


More than 6 months have elapsed since the immoral and unprincipled grab of power in Perak by Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir and his Exco members. The people of Perak is suffering as no serious investor would want to have a look at Perak due to the uncertainties created by Dato’ Seri Zambry and his BN power grabbers. Recent announcements that some investors are interested to invest in Perak are only eyewash to mislead the people. None of the projects is moving and investors remain at the interested to invest stage.The position of the Menteri Besar is still in doubt waiting for the final arbiter, the Federal Court to make a decision. Entangled together with the question as to who the legitimate Menteri Besar is, is the uncertainty of the local councilors and the village heads appointed by BN to replace the councilors and village heads appointed or elected under the Pakatan Rakyat Government. We hardly see anything moves in Perak as a result. BN is solely responsible for this state of affairs.

During the 10 months’ reign of Perak by Pakatan Rakyat under the able leadership of Dato Seri Nizar Bin Jamaluddin, people see positive changes sweeping through Perak which benefited them. During the short 10 months, scores of positive changes were made which benefited the people.

The people must end this present predicament and the way forward is to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly and allow a fresh election to be held. 90% of those surveyed (which includes both BN and PR supporters) wanted the State Legislative Assembly dissolved. We cannot allow Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abd Kadir to go against the wishes of the people. I call on the people to boycott Zambry and his exco members. All organizations and associations must stop inviting them to their functions to send a clear and strong message that we will not accept Zambry’s refusal to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly. Zambry from UMNO with his racist’s mind has said that I have called on the Chinese Associations not to invite him to their functions which is a lie. He tries again to play the racial card which is in vogue with UMNO leaders. My call is to all organizations and associations and to people of all races and religions to boycott him and his Exco members. The desire to see the Perak State Legislative Assembly dissolved to pave the way for a fresh election comes from people of all races and religions as the people is demanding back their democratic rights to chose their leaders to lead the state of Perak.


民主行动党霹雳州主席、木威区国会议员兼民联霹雳州高级行政议员拿督倪可汉于2009年8月20日,在怡保霹雳州总部发表文告:

霹雳州依然处在一个人民受损害的现况。呼吁人民杯葛赞比里及他的行政议员因其拒绝依附人民的意愿解散霹雳州议会重新选举,以便解决目前的窘境。


民联霹雳州政权被拿督斯里赞比里及其行政议员不道德及毫无原则地夺走至今已经超过6个月。霹雳州人民处在受损害的情况,因为拿督斯里赞比里及国阵的夺权者导致的不确定性,造成没有真诚的投资者愿意前来霹雳州进行投资。

最新的宣布指出,有一些投资者有兴趣在霹雳州进行投资只是为了误导人民的表面说辞,事实上并没有任何工程已经开始进行,投资者依然停留在观望的阶段。

州务大臣的地位依然未确定,仍然等待联邦法院仲裁作出最后的判决。在未知谁是真正合法的州务大臣的同时,国阵委任市议员及村长取代民联委任及选出的市议员及村长的做法也出现争议性。我们几乎看不见霹雳州有任何的改进。国阵是唯一必须为这些情况负责。

拿督斯里尼查领导的民联政府在执政的10个月内,让人民看见及感受到霹雳州许多正面及对人民有益的改变。在短短的10个月,有许多积极的政策改变真正惠及人民。

人民必须终止目前的困境,最好的方法就是解散州议会重新选举。根据民调,共有90%的人民(包括国阵及民联的支持者)要求解散州议会。我们不能允许拿督斯里赞比里违背人民的意愿。

我呼吁人民杯葛赞比里及他的行政议员。所有组织及社团一定要停止邀请他们出席本身举办的活动,以便传达一个强烈及清楚的讯息,即我们不会接受赞比里表示拒绝解散州议会的做法。来自巫统并拥有种族歧视的思维的赞比里曾说过我呼吁华人社团不邀请他们出席活动的说法是谎言。他再次使用巫统领袖惯用的种族伎俩。我的呼吁是面向所有的组织、社团及人民,包括所有种族及宗教,全面杯葛赞比里及他的行政议员。

希望霹雳州议会解散并重新进行选举是来自各民族及宗教的人民心里最大的意愿,因为他们希望能重新取回民主的权利,选出他们心目中的领袖来领导霹雳州。

Media Statement By Dato'Ngeh Koo Ham At DAP Perak On 18th Aug 2009

Perak State Assembly sitting on 2/9/2009 is valid and legal. Zambry must respect rule of law



I refer to the Perak State Assembly sitting called by Speaker YB V. Sivakumar to be held on 2nd September 2009. Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abd Kadir’s comment that the Speaker will probably hold it under a tree again indicates that Dato’ Seri Zambry will be blocking the usage of the Perak Legislative Assembly Hall for the said sitting.This shows Dato’ Seri Zambry’s utter contempt for the Perak State Legislative Assembly and the democratic system in this country. I hope Dato’ Seri Dr. Zambry Abd. Kadir will respect the rule of law. Though not elected by the people of Perak, we tentatively respect Zambry as the Menteri Besar of Perak as declared by the Court of Appeal, he should also respect YB V. Sivakumar as the legitimate Speaker of the Perak State Legislative Assembly.

At all material times, both BN and the PR parties respected YB V. Sivakumar as the Speaker of the State Assembly at the last sitting of the Assembly on 7/5/2009.

The 7/5/2009 sitting had not commenced until the Regent of Perak gave his opening speech. The purported election of Dato’ R. Ganesan as the Assembly’s Speaker by a small group of BN elected representatives (which was not legal in itself) was done prior to the opening of the State Assembly by the Regent of Perak. How can a decision made prior to the commencement of a meeting be valid? By insisting that the election of Dato’ R. Ganesan was lawful, Dato’ Seri Dr. Zambry Abd Kadir is denying the role played by his Royal Highness the Sultan of Perak or the Regent with regard to the opening of a State Assembly sitting. He should apologize to the palace for taking such a stand.

As YB V. Sivakumar is still the legitimate Speaker of the Perak Assembly, he is the only person entitled to call for the sitting of the coming assembly and Dato’ Seri Zambry Abd Kadir who heads the Executive must direct the State Secretary to respect the separation of powers in our democratic system. He must accord respect and cooperation and allow elected representatives to attend the sessions fixed on 2/9/2009.

Dato’ Seri Zambry must make clear his stand otherwise the elected representatives of Perak will deem that any blockage to the State Assembly on 2/9/2009 will be deemed to be on his instructions.

Dated this 18th August 2009.

民主行动党霹雳州主席拿督倪可汉于2009818日在怡保霹雳州总部发表文告:

200992日召开的霹雳州议会将是有效及合法的,赞比里必须尊重法律

我经已查阅霹雳州议长西华古玛将于200992日召开霹雳州议会。拿督斯里赞比里的言论指议长或将再次在树下召开议会,如此恰好证明了拿督斯里赞比里将封锁霹雳州议会厅以召开上述议会。

这显示了拿督斯里赞比里彻底蔑视霹雳州议会以及这个国家的民主制度。我希望拿督斯里赞比里尊重法律。虽然他并非霹雳州人民所选择,然而我们依然尊重上诉庭判决赞比里作为霹雳州务大臣。因此他也应该尊重西华古玛为霹雳州议会合法的议长。

在所有重要时刻,包括国阵及民联都尊重西华古玛在最近一次即200957日召开的州议会上,他仍然是议长的身份。

200957日召开的州议会,直至霹雳州摄政王发表开幕御词前都未真正开始进行。当时由一群国阵议员选出拿督加尼森为议长(并不合法),在摄政王还未宣布议会开幕前进行。一个会议开始前作出的决定如何能够被视为有效?

拿督斯里赞比里坚持认为拿督加尼森被选为议长是合法的决定,那么他已经拒绝了霹雳州苏丹殿下或摄政王关于宣布州议会开幕所扮演的角色。赞比里必须为他的坚持向皇宫作出道歉。

当西华古玛还是霹雳州唯一合法的议长,只有他有权力召开州议会,而拿督斯里赞比里领导的行政权利必须指示州秘书尊重我国三权分立的民主制度。他必须给予尊重及合作,并且允许议员们出席定于200992 日的州议会。

拿督斯里赞比里必须做出一个清楚的立场,否则霹雳州的议员将会认为若在200992日召开的州议会发生任何阻挡及封锁,这都是来自赞比里的指示。

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Georgetown On 1.7.2009.


If The Tang Hak Ju Land Scam Involving Undeveloped Quarry Land For A Period Of 15 Years May Finally Cost The State Government RM 40 Million (RM 29 Million + Interest), Forcible Acquisition Of Kampung Buah Pala Involving Developed Land Would Be Of A Frightening Magnitude.

The Penang state government wishes to rebut the lies of Hindraf leaders and collaborators of BN and MIC who claims that acquiring Kampung Buah Pala would cost at the most RM 30 million or even very much less. Where is it stated in the land acquisition laws or approved by the courts that government can acquire land for the public interest at a sum far below the market price?

If the Tang Hak Ju land scam involving undeveloped quarry land for a period of 15 years may finally cost the state government RM 40 million (RM 29 Million + interest), forcible acquisition of Kampung Buah Pala involving developed land would be of a frightening magnitude. The Penang state government simply does not have the financial capability to afford the acquisition of Kampung Buah Pala. We are not talking of millions of ringgit. Neither are we talking of tens of millions of ringgit here!

Any lawyer or even law student knows this. Clearly these Hindraf leaders and BN collaborators are trying to spin a web of deceit and deception to paint the Penang state government as uncaring of Indians. Hindraf may deceive those from outside Penang but those in Penang knows our achievements that we have taken a different path of looking not only after Indians but also after Malays and Chinese as well.

Penang Pakatan Rakyat State Government Fights For All Races And Will Never Become A Single Racial Or Religious Entity.

As with all communities, we have given dignity and respect to ordinary Indians. The first Indian Deputy Chief Minister II of a state in Malaysia was appointed in Penang, all the 28 Tamil primary schools were given a yearly allocation of RM 1.5 million along with other Chinese primary, Sekolah Agama Rakyat, missionary schools and Chinese independent secondary schools. Further, Penang put up the FIRST Tamil road signs in the country alongside with Arabic, Chinese and English bilingual road signs in Georgetown. Even Hindraf had never raised the issue of Tamil road signs.

Hindraf and the BN collaborators must see that the Pakatan Rakyat Penang state government treats all Indians together with Chinese and Malays as Malaysian citizens who desire justice and detest corruption. Unlike Hindraf and the BN collaborators, we fight for all races and religions and will never become a single racial and religious entity.

Hindraf should not stray from its chosen path of defending the victim against the bully or fighting those who are helping the victims. Many Malaysians whether Indians or non-Indians are upset that Hindraf has chosen to pick on the Penang state government instead of the real culprits who sold out Kampung Buah Pala – BN and Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.

Lest we forget, it was Koh Tsu Koon and BN that sold out Kampung Buah Pala at a cheap price of only RM 10 per square feet in 2007 and without consulting the residents. Why has Hindraf lost the courage to oppose the real culprits?

Regrets Unruly Behaviour Of Hindraf Demonstrators

However despite regretting the irrational and unjustified targeting of the Penang state government, Hindraf leaders have the right to exercise the basic human rights of peaceful assembly. I have instructed my officials to respect their rights, accord them full respect and accept any memorandum submitted.

I had also urged the police not to take any action that would lead to untoward incidents. Instructions have also being given that should the police chose to act, then the demonstrators should be led to a place safe from police action in the air-conditioned Komtar government auditorium on the 5th floor. This gesture should serve as a contrast to a BN government that would never have invited demonstrators to the air-conditioned Komtar government auditorium in the 5th floor but would have used violent force instead to disperse them.

The Pakatan Rakyat Penang State government’s restraint against Hindraf demonstrators yesterday at Komtar despite extreme provocation demonstrates our commitment not only to help Kampung Buah Pala residents but also in upholding the fundamental right of freedom of peaceful assembly.

I feel sad at the unruly behaviour of those present who called my political secretary and ADUN Komtar Ng Wei Aik “an office boy”. Or even asking for two graves of 2X6 and 4X6 to be dug for Sri Delima ADUN Rayer and Penang DCM2 Professor Ramasamy.

Pressure The Federal Government And Dr Koh Tsu Koon To Correct Their Grievous Mistake By Acquiring Kampung Buah Pala.

Despite such consideration on our part for their safety, there were calls by demonstrators inside the air-conditioned Komtar government auditorium that they would vote for BN and against Pakatan Rakyat in the next general elections. It is clear that Hindraf has been infiltrated by BN and MIC collaborators and should return to its original goal of fighting BN who have shown in Kampung Buah Pala as in countless cases of selling out the people’s rights.

Hindraf can start off this process by pressuring the Federal government and Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon to correct their past grievous mistake by acquiring Kampung Buah Pala and returning back the land to the people. What the state government can not afford financially is definitely within the means of the Federal government!

开除全国总警长的动议 Motion to remove the Inspector General of Police

木威区国会议员兼民主行动党霹雳州主席拿督倪可汉于2009年6月13日在怡保发表文告:

基于国阵政府失责于对违反法律的警察采取行动,我将在国会提呈开除全国总警长的动议

我对国阵政府已经感到极度地厌恶及失望,尤其是内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁在近期发生的霹雳州政治危机上,对许多违反法律的警察并没有采取任何对付行动。

内政部长曾经说过,任何人包括他自己都不能超越法律,人民希望在我国,所有法律能够被遵守,同时在要求人民遵守法律的时候,执行任务的警察也能够遵守法律。除非对犯法的警察采取行动对付,不然人民对警察部队的尊重将恶化。

基于国阵政府失责于对违反法律的警察采取行动,我将会在即将召开的国会即2009年6月15日,提呈一个开除全国总警长—丹斯里慕沙哈山的动议。我将会在这个动议上,列举12个警察违反法律却没有受到对付的事件。(动议内容请参阅附件。)

为了恢复人民对警察部队及法律的信心,我吁请所有国会议员能够抛开他们不同的政治立场支持这项动议。所有的国会议员都已经在就职时宣誓维护及保卫《联邦宪法》。而当宪法给予人民和平集会的权利基础被警察破坏殆尽,所有的国会议员都应该联合起来支持这项动议,如不然,国会议员本身将会破坏他本身许下的誓言。

Due to failure of BN Government to take action against the police for breaching the law, a motion will be moved in Parliament to remove the Inspector General of Police.

I am totally disgusted and disappointed that the BN Government especially the Home Minister, Dato’ Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn has failed to take any action against the police for numerous offences they have committed against the law during this period of Perak political crisis.

The Home Minister has said that no person is above the law including himself. The people expect the rule of law be observed in this nation. The public is expected to observe the law, all the more they also expect the police who are enforcer of the law to do so. Unless action be taken against the police for breaching the law, the respect for the police institution will deteriorate.

Due to the failure of the BN Government especially the Home Minister to take action against the police I will be moving a motion in this coming Parliament Session which commences on 15/6/2009 to remove the Inspector General of Police, Tan Sri Musa Hassan. In the said motion I have enumerated more that a dozen offences committed by the police and yet no action has been taken against them. A copy of the motion is attached herewith.

For the sake of restoring confidence of the public in the police force and the rule of law, I call on all members of parliament irrespective of their political affiliation to support the said motion. All members of parliament have taken an oath of office to uphold and defend the Federal Constitution. As the fundamental liberties guaranteed under the Federal Constitution have been violated by the police, all members of parliament are duty bound to support this motion otherwise they have themselves violated their oath of office.

Dated this 12th day of June 2009.

Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir has announced yesterday that a South American Multinational Corporation will be investing RM9.0 billion in Manjung for an iron ore/pellet distribution centre for Asia. He added that it is in the final stages of discussion and an agreement is expected to be signed next week.

I have been given to understand that the company is the Brazilian company, Compania Vale Del Rio.

It must be put on record that the said company was in negotiating with the Pakatan Rakyat Perak State Government before the latter was immorally, illegally and unconstitutionally overthrown by the BN.

I hope the BN State Government will not be continuing its policy of announcing many multi million/billion ringgit projects to paint a good picture of the government but none finally materialized as has happened under Dato’ Seri Tajol Rosli.

The Perak Pakatan Rakyat Government has a policy to announce the implementation of projects only if it has been finalized and ready to take off as we hold firmly to our principle that the people must not be misled. Many have lost money investing in lands surrounding projects announced by BN which did not materialize.

Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir must confirm that the following are already in place if not the announcement is just another publicity stunt.

1. The Perak State Government has thought through thoroughly the decision to convert the area presently designated for tourism to industrial use.

2. The state government has gazetted the area for industrial use.

3. The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report is ready and the report supports the said project.

4. Is the 1,300 acres of land private or state land? If it is private land has Compania Vale Del Rio concluded the purchase of the land with the owner? If it is state land, has Compania Vale Del Rio applied for the land and it has been approved by all the relevant departments and the state government?


拿督斯里赞比里宣布的South American Multinational Corporation 90亿令吉投资项目是否是国阵霹雳州政府的宣传伎俩?

拿督斯里赞比里昨日宣布South American Multinational Corporation 将会在曼绒进行90亿令吉的亚洲铁矿集散中心,并且宣称已经进入最后的讨论阶段,同时将会在下星期签署合约。

据我所了解,有关公司是一家巴西公司,Compania Vale Del Rio.

这里必须提醒,在国阵不道德、非法及违反宪法的情况下夺取霹雳州政权之前,这家巴西公司已经与霹雳州民联政府进行磋商。

我希望霹雳州国阵政府不要再进行任何政策,宣称有多少百万、千万工程将会进行,仅仅只是为了描绘一幅美好的愿景而最终没有任何具体的建设结果,在前任州务大臣拿督斯里达祖罗斯里任期内就发生了这样的事情。

霹雳州民联政府制定的一个政策就是,只有在确定及做好准备开始进行一项工程时,才会正式对外作出宣布,这是因为我们坚定地执行以人民为本、不能误导人民的原则。因为已经有太多人/企业,在国阵政府宣传后却没有具体执行政策下,在土地等周边工程的投资上面对太多的亏损。

拿督斯里赞比里必须确认及交代以下的情况已经解决到位,如不然,所有他所作出的宣布只是一种宣传伎俩。

1. 霹雳州国阵政府已经仔细思考及研究利弊关系,将目前保留为旅游用途的地段转换为工业用途。

2. 州政府已经在宪报上宣布有关地段为工业用途。

3. 环境评估报告(EIA Report)已经做好有关地段的考察评估,并且该报告支持及同意有关工程的进行。

4. 究竟有关1300英亩土地是私人地或政府地?如果是私人地段,是否Compania Vale Del Rio. 已经向私人地主购买土地?如果是政府土地,该公司是否已经向州政府作出申请并且获得所有相关部门及州政府的批准?
