The recently concluded 13th General Election was marred with unprecedented electoral frauds. Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak and the Election Commission had chosen to ignore the wishes of the rakyat at their own peril despite their earlier pronouncements towards free and fair election. This was despite massive popular support for the cause of clean and fair election.
Therefore, the Election Commission shall be held responsible for being complicit in the worst electoral frauds in our history. A fight for clean and fair election remains the single most important fight that any Malaysians should relate to.
I will devote my time and utmost energy to work with BERSIH and the people of Malaysia to ensure that a newly constituted and independent Election Commission shall be in place as soon as possible to rectify the electoral frauds.
The fact that Pakatan Rakyat won the popular votes by a large margin (50.3%, compared to BN’s 46.8%) confirms the mandate given to us and highlights that electoral frauds won the 13th General Election for Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak.
Movement for change is unstoppable
Our conscience cannot allow us to accept election results conjured through frauds and cheating. My heart is with every Malaysian who does not accept the results. I will work towards a national consensus to question the legitimacy of the BN’s government achieved through such electoral frauds.
The movement for change is unstoppable. The simple demand of the rakyat for a clean and fair election to ensure our elected government is accountable, transparent and incorruptible will continue to echo loudly in spite of the rigged 13th General Election.
I shall address the rakyat for the first time post the general election on Wednesday, 8 May 2013 at Kelana Jaya Stadium, at 830 pm. I call upon as many Malaysians to join hands and express our rejection and disgust at the unprecedented electoral frauds committed by Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak and the EC.
