Lee Chean Chung, Communications Director of the PKR
*Criticizes Opposition's Lack of Asset Declaration, Calls for Transparency*
Lee Chean Chung has questioned the actions of Tun M and Faizai Azumu, Deputy President of Parti Pribumi Bersatu PPBM. Both individuals have challenged PMX Anwar Ibrahim to declare his wealth. Lee expressed his concern about those who have not declared their own assets forcing others who have done so. He highlighted that all leaders in the People's Justice Party (PH) have declared their assets before nominating candidates for elections, and even after assuming positions in the government, PH leaders are required to declare their assets. Lee called for Parti Pribumi Bersatu PPBM to follow suit and declare their assets. He criticized the opposition party for their lack of transparency in this matter and accused them of using propaganda to discredit the leadership of PH and Anwar Ibrahim. Lee deemed this behavior inappropriate, shameful, and irresponsible.

Oscar Ling, DAP MP for Sibu
*The Coldplay Concert: A Nonsensical Tool for PAS to Incite People*
Just a day after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim welcomed Coldplay with a tweet, a PAS leader is calling for the British rock band’s concert to be cancelled. PAS central committee member Nasrudin Hassan posted yesterday on Facebook: “Does the government want to nurture a culture of hedonism and perversion in this country?”Oscar Ling comment that, the demand from PAS is excessive. They continuously manipulate racial and religious issues, and we need to respect every religion and race.
Regarding the concert, Oscar Ling believe it should not be opposed. The reasons mentioned by PAS are likely driven by the upcoming state elections, where they use such issues to threaten the position of the federal government.
Hadi, who is also the Member of Parliament for Marang, claimed in a Facebook post that Malays are being openly deceived because non-Muslims and non-Malays are the "big robbers". In fact, back in August, Hadi also alleged that non-Muslims and non-Bumiputeras were the cause of corruption and were the majority involved in damaging the politics and economy of the country.
Hadi's statements actually violate the sedition laws. In reality, Malays or Muslims are the majority, so if anyone should feel threatened, it shouldn't be the Muslims as claimed by Hadi. Instead, shouldn't the indigenous people of East Malaysia be more concerned about being marginalized?
Additional : How can power be lost when all important positions in this country are held by Malays and Muslims? Even in the Cabinet, out of the 28 members, only nine ministers are non-Muslims. Furthermore, out of the 148 government parliament members, 77 of them are Muslims, which is more than the 72 members from Perikatan Nasional. Therefore the President of DAP Lim Guan Eng called on the Malaysian people to jointly file police reports against Hadi to put an end to divisive and racially-driven politics and to safeguard national unity and integration.

Thomas Fann, Chairperson of Bersih 2.0
* Roundtable Discussion Explores Feasibility of Unity Government and Hung Parliament in Malaysia *Deepening Democracy in Malaysia: Making Coalition Government and Hung Parliament Work, held on 9-10 May, was organized in collaboration with Kofi Annan's foundation, Global Bersih, and Bersih Malaysia, with full support from the Department of the Speaker of the House.
The focus of the discussion was on whether a unity government and the concept of a "Hung Parliament" can be successful in Malaysia, considering the current situation after the 15th General Election where no single party has a simple majority to form the federal government.
The Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition has expressed their intention to overthrow the unity government. To shed light on the topic, Bersih invited experts from democratic countries such as Finland, Germany, Australia, Canada, and the Philippines to share insights on how their political systems operate with discipline and stability. The forum included local panels, politicians, academia experts, who offered suggestions for the country. Approximately 200 participants, including Members of Parliament, senators, NGOs, and youths, attended the event. One particularly interesting topic discussed was the utilization of constructive votes of no confidence in the German parliament.--------------------------------------
