Burger Stall in Private House - Lim Guan Eng

DAP condemns the “burger protest” by pro-BN and anti-Bersih supporters, which set up an illegal burger stall outside Bersih co-chairperson Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan’s house to protest against their claims of purported loss of income suffered due to the Bersih 3.0 rally on 28 April 2012. Is rule of law in Malaysia now replaced by rule of the jungle?
 
I fail to understand how DBKL can allow a burger stall to be set up outside a private residence with impunity in Kuala Lumpur? By failing to act against the “burger protest” set up illegally outside Datuk Ambiga’s house, BN and DBKL is subjecting her to undue harrassment, intimidation and invasion of privacy. Will DBKL allow a similar protest outside the private home of Ministers or the DBKL’s Mayor residence?
 
Such an act of harrassment, intimidation and invasion of privacy has no place in our peaceful country, where Malaysians live together in mutual harmony and respect. Moreover, the symbolic act of setting up burger stalls and cooking meat as a protest outside Ambiga’s home is extremely disrespectful considering that the former Bar Council president is a vegetarian.
 
As Ambiga herself noted yesterday, such acts have “never happened in Malaysia, except to Lim Guan Eng. Now (he) and I have had our homes violated.” Yesterday, my own family’s privacy was invaded by a group of Perkasa members who performed a “funeral rite” intruding on my private space, by placing on my gate a garland of flowers over a framed photo of me to signify my “death”.
Clearly this is the first time that such a death “wish” or death “threat” is made against a Chief Minister. What is equally clear is that the police present were indifferent and did not stop the Perkasa members from violating my private space.
 
It is the right of every Malaysian to be able to protest his or her own issues, but to do so by intruding into personal space and invading the privacy of family homes or wishing for the death of anyone is utterly vile, completely disrespectful and contrary to the basic tenets of democracy.
DAP calls on BN and DBKL to immediately remove the stall outside Datuk Ambiga’s home as a mark of respect towards not only to democracy and rule of law but to establish and uphold civil society.

Kenyataan Akhbar Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 11.5.2012
Dengan kegagalan bertindak terhadap “protes burger” yang dilakukan secara haram di luar rumah Pengerusi Bersama Bersih Datuk Ambiga, BN dan Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) telah merelakan Ambiga diganggu-gugat, diintimidasi dan dicabul ruang peribadi beliau
DAP mengutuk keras “protes burger” oleh penyokong-penyokong pro-BN dan anti-Bersih, yang telah mendirikan gerai burger secara haram di luar rumah Pengerusi Bersama Bersih Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan untuk membantah apa yang mereka dakwa sebagai kononnya kehilangan pendapatan akibat perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 pada 28 April 2012.
Apakah keluruhan undang-undang di Malaysia telah digantikan dengan undang-undang rimba?
Saya tidak faham bagaimana DBKL boleh membenarkan sebuah gerai burger didirikan secara haram di luar rumah hak milik peribadi seorang di Kuala Lumpur tanpa sebarang tindakan dikenakan? Dengan kegagalan bertindak terhadap “protes burger” yang dilakukan secara haram di luar rumah Pengerusi Bersama Bersih Datuk Ambiga, BN dan DBKL telah merelakan Ambiga diganggu-gugat, diintimidasi dan dicabul ruang peribadi beliau.
Adakah DBKL akan membenarkan protes yang sama dilakukan di luar rumah Menteri-Menteri atau Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur?
Perbuatan mengganggu-gugat, intimidasi dan pencabulan ruang peribadi tidak ada tempat di negara kita yang aman damai ini di mana rakyat Malaysia hidup bersama dalam keadaan harmoni dan saling hormat-menghormati. Lagi pun, tindakan simbolk mendirikan gerai burger dan memasak daging di luar rumah Ambiga sebagai satu bantahan adalah bersifat kurang ajar kerana bekas Presiden Majlis Peguam itu adalah seorang yang tidak memakan daging (vegetarian).
Sebagaimana yang dinyatakan oleh Ambiga sendiri semalam, perbuatan keji itu “tidak pernah berlaku di Malaysia, kecuali terhadap Lim Guan Eng. Kini rumah (beliau) dan saya telah dicabul dan diceroboh”.
Semalam, ruang peribadi keluarga saya sendiri telah dicabul oleh sekumpulan ahli Perkasa yang meletakkan kalungan bunga di atas bingkai gambar saya yang diletakkan di pintu pagar rumah saya, untuk memberi amaran tentang “kematian” saya.
Jelas ini adalah kali pertama “ugutan bunuh” dilakukan terhadap seorang Ketua Menteri. Apa yang turut jelas ialah kehadiran pihak polis yang tidak berbuat apa-apa dan tidak menghalang ahli-ahli Perkasa daripada menceroboh dan mencabul ruang peirbadi keluarga saya.
Adalah menjadi hak setiap rakyat Malaysia untuk membantah atau protes sebarang isu tetapi melakukannya dengan menceroboh ruang peribadi seseorang dan mencabul hak peribadi rumah keluarga, atau menuntut kematian seseorang adalah amat keji, kurang ajar dan bertentangan dengan rukun-rukun asas demokrasi.
DAP mendesak supaya BN dan DBKL memindahkan serta-merta gerai burger haram yang dibina di luar rumah Datuk Ambiga sebagai tanda menghormati, bukan sahaja demokrasi dan kedaulatan undang-undnag, tetapi juga untuk mewujudkan dan mempertahankan masyarakat madani.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2012年5月11日在吉隆坡发表声明:
国阵及吉隆坡市政局(DBKL)没有对付在净选盟联合主席安美嘉家门前的“汉堡示威”,如同眼巴巴让她承受不必要的骚扰、恐吓及隐私侵犯。
民主行动党谴责亲国阵及反净选盟支持者所进行的“汉堡示威”,他们在净选盟联合主席拿督安美嘉屋前设立非法的汉堡摊子,抗议2012年4月28日的净选盟3.0大集会导致他们损失收入。马来西亚的法制什么时候变成丛林法则、弱肉强食?
我不明白为何吉隆坡市政局可以允许汉堡摊子在吉隆坡的住宅区内非法摆卖?国阵及吉隆坡市政局(DBKL)没有对付在净选盟联合主席安美嘉家门前的 “汉堡示威”,如同眼巴巴让她承受不必要的骚扰、恐吓及隐私侵犯。吉隆坡市政局会不会允许类似的示威在部长们的私宅或吉隆坡市政局主席的家门前发生?
我们不应该让如此的骚扰、恐吓及隐私的侵犯发生在马来西亚人和谐共处、互相尊重的和平国家。再说,像这种在安美嘉家门前摆摊卖汉堡、煮肉,只一种完全无礼的做法,因为律师公会主席是一名素食者。
安美嘉昨天说,这种行为“在马来西亚从未发生过,除了林冠英的家。现在他的家和我的家都被侵犯了。”昨天,我家人的隐私也被一群土著权威组织的人侵犯,他们入侵我的私邸,设立“灵堂”,用我的肖像挂上死人花圈,挂在我家大门前,以示我的“死亡”。
很明显地,这是第一次对首长所做出的“希望你去死”或死亡恐吓。更明显的地,在场的警察竟然无动于衷,完全没有阻止土权成员侵犯我的私邸。
每一名马来西亚都有权利为自己的事情表达抗议、示威,但是,侵入私人空间 、闯入别人的家庭隐私,希望一个人死去,是彻底卑鄙、无礼、与民主基本原则背道而驰的。
行动党促请国阵和吉隆坡市政局马上移开安美嘉屋外的摊子,这不只是表示对民主和法治的尊重,也是维护和捍卫公民社会。

Anti-Bersih group holds Najib to ransom

Anti-Bersih group holds Najib to ransom

Jul 11, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — Anti-Bersih supporters have mounted a petition online, threatening to abandon its support for Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s administration if the prime minister fails to revoke the citizenships of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Ambiga Sreenavasan and punish Bersih marchers.

Pledging one million signatures, the petition started by one Rahmat Azim Abd Aziz, 39, warns Najib against ignoring its five demands, saying its signatories would not hesitate to rebel to defend Malaysia, “even without the help of Datuk Seri’s (Najib) government”.

As of 8pm today, the petition entitled, “Legal action and recommendations to His Royal Highness the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia to revoke medals and accolades” has attracted 173 signatures.
It was created on petitiononline.com, a site that hosts online public petitions for free, but Facebook users have since caught wind of it and are sharing links to the site on fan pages and their profile pages, urging others to sign it.

“If Datuk Seri does not take stern action and monitor subversive elements and efforts to tarnish the country’s image, Malaysians will lose direction and faith in your leadership.

“When this happens, traitors to the country will find it easier to take over our beloved Malaysia. Datuk Seri’s efforts will become pointless and the futures of our youths will become uncertain,” the petition said.

Claiming to represent the views of a majority of the government’s supporters, the petition urged that its demands be given “full and serious” consideration, saying that “peace, harmony, unity and Malaysia’s economic strength” are important elements for the present and coming generations.

“Racism and disunity have become more widespread due to incitement from opposition parties, NGOs and foreign agents. We want stability, economic strength and unity.

“All of Datuk Seri’s efforts in developing the economy will be destroyed in the blink of an eye simply because of those who are uncomfortable with seeing progress in Malaysia,” said the petition.

In its demands, the petition called on the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin to revoke the titles of Ambiga, Anwar, PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and national laureate Datuk A. Samad Said.

It also wants Anwar and Ambiga’s citizenships revoked, saying the duo had instigated the people to riot, rebel and defy the country’s rule of law.

It also demands that legal action be taken against any of the 91 individuals who violated a court order obtained by the police barring them from entering the city on July 9.

Among those who were locked out were Ambiga, Anwar, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, and Perkasa president Datuk Ibrahim Ali.

The petition also seeks legal action against Bersih 2.0 organisers for supposedly defying the King’s advice, and the over 1,000 protestors who were arrested for participating in an illegal rally.

Pro-Bersih supporters have also started a similar campaign on Facebook through a fan page calling for Najib’s resignation.

The page, which was set up shortly after Saturday’s rally, hit its 100,000 target at 3.50am this morning and has continued growing since then. As at 8pm today, a total of 136, 902 people have clicked “Like” on the page.
