YOURSAY ‘Damn these leaders who are doing all they can to undermine the will of the people. You want to win our votes, win it fair and square.’
ROS does not recognise DAP's top leadership
Tehachapi: As the opposition party, Pakatan Rakyat and its component parties, PAS, PKR and DAP, have to be mentally and psychologically prepared to eat fire, walk on water and do all the impossible to realise its ultimate goal.
We ain't see nothing yet and we should expect more hardships in the works. We are now witnessing BN’s Machiavellian power play.
Have no fear as the rakyat have awakened and any provocation will only backfire. Steel is forged in the hot furnace raise to several thousands of degree. This is timely for people to realise the harshness of political struggle.
Any attempt at provocation will only harden the resolve of the people to bring about fundamental change, by turning the old systems upside down and conduct a thorough house cleaning. God is watching.
Dark Knight: It is a strategy to divert and disrupt DAP's campaign momentum. Nevertheless, I believe DAP can continue to field candidates under its banner and attend to the non-recognition of its CEC after the election.
NoNoNo: I cannot understand why some organisations can still be influenced by BN. After dissolution of Parliament, there is no government but just caretaker government. But they are too dumb to differentiate between government and party.
First the Election Commission (EC) plays dirty, now it’s the Registrar of Societies (ROS).
Rayfire: ROS, please don't get the people angry with your last-minute antics regarding DAP's status. We are well aware of your master’s tactics and doing this now will only worsen our perception of your ill intentions towards the opposition party.
Please look at a mirror and ask yourself - can I live as a person who has sold my soul to the ‘known’ devil?
Damn these ruthless power crazy morons who are doing all they can to undermine the will of the people. You want to win our votes, win it fair and square.
Speechless:
This is exactly the reason why we need to change the government. As if manipulating the electoral roll, producing sex videos and denying its opponents of fair media access are not enough, using the ROS to victimise a political opponent just before nomination day is the lowest of the low, the sickest of the sick and the most despicable thing imaginable.The EC and the caretaker defence minister, together with the ROS, should stop acting out the good cop-bad cop scenario. They must think we are stupid. This crisis which the ROS and its cohorts have so cruelly inflicted on the DAP will only garner huge sympathy for all DAP candidates.
The line has been crossed. Don't underestimate the anger of the people, which can run deep and wide.
Opportunity often lies just behind a crisis: when DAP campaigns under a PAS or PKR logo, this will prove once and for all that in times of trouble, the three component parties stick together and they fight together.
ONG: It looks like all DAP candidates may end up having to contest under the PSM banner. If it comes to that, the problem is solved for the Jelapang seat.
P Dev Anand Pillai: DAP will have to make quick arrangements to stand under PKR and PAS logos and make a plea to the people of Malaysia as this is oppression at its worst under the present regime. It is now up to the people of Malaysia.
Masa Sudah Tiba -Tukar: The best solution is all DAP candidates stand under PKR banner and after winning, revert to DAP.
This is a blessing in disguise. ROS can reject DAP CEC but not deregister of DAP. If Pakatan wins GE13, heads will roll.
Anonymous #25595435: We object to ROS' action. How can they wait till the last minute to act. It’s so unethical. It is obvious they are doing this do stop DAP from contesting.
Change We Will: Umno-BN is really pulling out all the stops. It only shows how scared they are.
Cantabrigian: All DAP candidates should participate in the general election as Independents. When you win, regroup and establish DAP Baru like Umno in 1988.
Patriot: In my view, DAP standing on an Independent ticket is not wise. DAP should instead stand on PKR ticket, if there's no remedy to the latest ROS saga.
However, if there is, DAP should sort this out immediately but standing on independent ticket is not a shrewd move.
Ramachandran Muniandy: Why not take an injunction against ROS?
As they can still appeal to the Home Ministry, and while their appeal is under consideration, they can file an injunction to stop all ROS’ actions against DAP, including whether they can use the DAP logo for the GE.
Wanderer: This suspicious decision of ROS will give all decent Malaysians, a timely opportunity, to rid their political masters Umno-BN.
It is time, we shall take advantage of "change" in Malaysian landscape to right all wrongs established by BN.
The Patriot: I am a BN man. My conscience is troubled by this. I did not signed up for this. I have had enough of such unethical acts.
