Kenyataan Media Bakal Calon Parlimen Bentong, Wong Tack di Bentong pada 15.04.2018
Demokrasi Negara Semakin Terbelakang Di Bawah BN
Wong Tack Desak Liow Tiong Lai Kecam Ahmad Zahid
Bakal Calon Parlimen Bentong, Wong Tack membidas kenyataan Timbalan Perdana Menteri sementara, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang menyeru rakyat yang bekerja di Singapura agar tidak balik mengundi sekiranya tidak mendapat kebenaran majikan.
Dalam kenyataan medianya, Wong Tack menyatakan bahawa kata-kata Ahmad Zahid ini sebenarnya adalah membelakangi prinsip demokrasi lantaran setiap rakyat haruslah menunaikan tanggungjawabnya untuk mengundi. Sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri sementara, Ahmad Zahid patutnya menyeru semua rakyat untuk melibatkan diri dalam PRU kali ini demi menentukan hala tuju negara dan bukannya menanamkan kesedaran sebegini yang tidak demokratik dan salah dan menyebabkan demokrasi negara terbelakang lagi.
Wong Tack berujar bahawa kenyataan Ahmad Zahid sebenarnya adalah bertujuan untuk mengetepikan tanggungjawab yang seharusnya dipikul rakyat lantaran kadar keluar mengundi yang rendah akan memudahkan BN untuk terus bersubahat dengan SPR demi memenangi PRU kali ini.
Wong Tack menegaskan bahawa niat hati BN sudah ternyata jelas. Kini BN amat gentar terhadap kadar keluar mengundi yang tinggi kerana kadar mengundi yang melebihi 85% sudah tentunya akan menjanakan perubahan kerajaan. Sebenarnya beberapa kenyataan pemimpin UMNO yang tidak munasabah dan tidak logik langsung telah menunjukkan bahawa UMNO jelas bahawa pemerintahan mereka akan ditamatkan dalam masa sebulan ini dan pemimpin yang rakus rasuah akan dihantar ke penjara Sungai Buloh tidak lama lagi.
Selepas pengumuman tarikh PRU, ramai rakyat Malaysia yang bekerja di luar negara telah menggerakkan kempen balik undi secara besar-besaran dan kehangatan ini tidak pernahnya wujud sebelum ni. Kempen balik undi yang digerakkan melalui media sosial mengilustrasikan bahawa rakyat jelata adalah mementingkan PRU kali ini dan kesemua inilah yang paling ditakuti oleh rejim UMNO BN. Malah SPR sengaja meletakkan hari Rabu sebagai hari mengundi untuk mengelakkan orang ramai untuk balik mengundi.
Sebelum bermulanya kempen PRU, sekali lagi pemimpin tertinggi UMNO telah mengeluarkan kenyataan sebegini yang memalukan dan tidak menghormati demokrasi. Oleh itu, Wong Tack mendesak Liow Tiong Lai untuk menyatakan pendirian sama ada beliau bersetuju dengan kenyataan Ahmad Zahid yang menyeru rakyat Malaysia yang bekerja di luar negara agar tidak balik mengundi dan sekiranya tidak bersetuju, adakah Liow Tiong Lai berani mengecam kenyataan Timbalan Perdana Menteri sementara ini dan menyeru pengundi di Bagan Datuk untuk menolak calon sedemikian yang membelakangi prinsip demokrasi.
Wong Tack turut menyeru semua rakyat untuk melibatkan diri dalam PRU kali ini. Sekiranya BN terus menggunakan tipu muslihat seperti persempadanan semula yang tidak adil untuk menjejaskan keputusan PRU, maka rakyat wajib bangkit lawan tetap lawan dan tidak tunduk kepadanya. Kadar keluar mengundi yang tinggi sudah tentu akan menjamin pembentukan sistem dua parti dan pastinya Pakatan Harapan dapat mara ke Putrajaya demi membina HARAPAN untuk anak cucu kita.
Kami tinggalkan kampung demi mencari rezeki dan balik rumah demi selamatkan negara. Semua rakyat sekali lagi diseru untuk mengundi Pakatan Harapan dalam PRU kali ini lantaran setiap undi anda adalah berupaya untuk mengubah hala tuju negara kita untuk membuka lembaran baru demi Malaysia.
Kenyataan media Wong Tack, Pengerusi Pakatan Harapan Bentong:

MEDIA STATEMENT 29 JULY 2015
BERSIH 4: The Time Has Come
The time has come for Malaysians to come forward to demand for Prime Minister Najib Razak’s resignation and a host of institutional reforms to put an end to prime-ministerial corruptions since Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s time. All Malaysians are now paying a huge price for the RM42 billion scandal of 1MDB amongst other incidences of corruption, leakages and mismanagement.
Najib has virtually ruled out all possibilities for truth on the 1MDB scandal to be unearthed and criminals to be brought to justice by a series of his political moves on 27 and 28 July:
The abrupt and arguably unconstitutional removal of Attorney General (AG) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail. Since the AG’s Chambers is one of the four agencies of the Special Taskforce on 1MDB investigation, the removal of the AG is a direct interference in the AG Chamber’s work and is meant as a warning signal to the other three agencies: the Police, Bank Negara and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. The constitutionality of such removal — not done on the like grounds and in the like manners as a Federal Court judge — has been rejected or questioned by many parties including the Bar Council.
The co-optation of four out of 13 members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) into the administration, namely Chairperson Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed (as deputy home minister), Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican (as deputy foreign affairs minister), Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin (as deputy tourism and culture minister) and Datuk Wilfred Madius Tangau (as science, technology and innovation minister). As PAC members cannot be holding executive positions, these appointments are Najib’s unscrupulous plot to disable PAC, the only other public institution which is pursuing the 1MDB scandal with the support of the Auditor General’s Office. The acceptance of executive appointments by Nur Jazlan and his three colleagues is a betrayal of the public trust on PAC to act on 1MDB.
Continued and worsened power concentration through cabinet reshuffle with the retention of the Finance Minister portfolio by Najib himself and the appointment of Zahid Hamidi as Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) who continues to hold the Home Minister portfolio. Zahid has just ordered the three-month suspension of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily for exposés on the 1MDB scandal. That the PM and DPM simultaneously hold two powerful ministries of Finance and Home Affairs depletes any hope of independent investigations without more attempts to cover up corruption and silence critics.
Holding the view that corruption at the highest level in Malaysia was caused by three malaises, manipulated elections, power concentration at the Executive, and repression of dissents, BERSIH 2.0 demanded 10 institutional reforms:
1. Electoral reform
2. Making the Election Commission a constitutional party answerable to Parliament
3. Barring Prime Minister from simultaneously holding the office of Finance Minister
4. Parliamentary Reform
5. Making MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) answerable to Parliament
6. Separating Attorney General from the role of Public Prosecutor
7. Freedom of Information laws at Federal and State levels
8. Public declaration of Ministers and senior government servants’ assets
9. Repeal of/Amendments to draconian laws
10. Establishment of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC)
As immediate measures to restore public confidence in the investigation, BERSIH 2.0 demanded the following four actions:
Najib to make public his bank account details, in particular, clarify if the AmBank accounts existed in his name and, if so, show the transaction details for the dates in question.
Najib to take leave as the Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and all other public offices he holds pending investigation.
Najib’s, his spouse’s and his children’s accounts to be frozen.
All findings of investigation by Bank Negara, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), the Police, and the Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on 1MDB and related companies to be made public in the fastest time possible.
Najib is taking every possible move to protect corruption. He arrogantly ignores the humble wish of Malaysians for integrity and justice. He has lost every ounce of legitimacy to stay in office.
BERSIH 2.0 is dedicated to an electoral system and system of governance that is free, fair and open. Given the depth of corruption that has been alleged, the allegations that this money was used to manipulate the GE13 and the implication of the highest political office in the land, the credibility of the very institutions of government is at stake. To restore confidence in the processes of government and to allow the continued dynamism of the local economy, the Prime Minister must tender his resignation.
BERSIH 2.0 hereby declares that the Bersih 4 rally will be held on the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu from August 29th, 2pm to August 30th. We invite all patriotic Malaysians to join the rally to demand for Najib to step down and the institutional reforms to be implemented so as to end prime-ministerial corruption.
BERSIH 2.0 demands:
1. Clean Elections
2. Clean Governments
3. Save our economy
4. Right to Dissent
Issued by,
The Steering Committee of BERSIH 2.0, which consists of –
Chairperson: Maria Chin Abdullah; Deputy Chairperson: Sarajun Hoda Abdul Hassan; Treasurer: Masjaliza Hamzah; national representatives: Assoc. Prof. Dr Abdul Halim bin Yusof, Farhana binti Abdul Halim, and Fadiah Nadwa Fikri; vice-chairpersons: Jannie Lasimbang (Sabah), Ahmad b. Awang Ali (Sarawak), Abd Halim b. Wan Ismail (East Peninsula), Thomas Fann (South Peninsula), Simon Lee Ying Wai (Central Peninsula) and Dato’ Dr Toh Kin Woon (North Peninsula).

MEDIA RELEASE
Monday 1 September 2014
Australian environmental justice activist refused entry to Malaysia
Australian resident Natalie Lowrey was refused entry into Malaysia after returning as an observer on the criminalisation of environmental defenders against Australian rare earth miner, Lynas Corporation.
On arrival at in Malaysia, Lowrey was detained by customs who said she had been blacklisted by Bukit Aman (the police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur) and that she would be deported back to the country she flew in from. She is being sent to Bali and will fly into Sydney on Tuesday 2 September at 6.50am. Lowrey was informed of a strict denial of entry to Malaysia, reasons not given.
Australian rare earths company, Lynas Corporation Ltd, whose processing plant is in Kuantan, Malaysia is the focus of Malaysia’s largest environmental movement. Lynas has been under pressure for the past three years for having no social licence to operate. Their 2 year Temporary Operating Licence (TOL) is due to expire on 2nd September.
Local people are concerned about the contamination of coastal environments and adverse health impacts that could arise from mismanagement of radioactive waste streams, as seen with the rare earth refinery operated by Mitsubishi Chemicals at Bukit Merah in the 80s and 90s.
Lowrey said “The neoliberal model of ‘development’ I s destroying the environment and pitting communities and eco-defenders against powerful corporations and colluding police and governments all around the world.”
Lowrey and 15 Malaysians were arrested at a peaceful protest in June demanding Lynas to close down its operation of the Lynas Advanced Material Plant (LAMP) in Kuantan. Lowrey was detained for 6 days then released without charge and no mention of being unable to return to the country. The Malaysian arrestees are being tried under the Penal Code.
“Their charges against the 15 peaceful Malaysian citizens arrested with me on June 22nd must be dropped including the Gag order that was part of their bail conditions. I was released with no charge so why are they facing a trial, which if convicted, may include jail time?”
Concerned citizens across Malaysia are appealing to the international community to apply pressure on the Malaysian Government and Lynas corporation about the lack of transparency of waste management at the LAMP and for its intimidation tactics against environmental defenders, including members of the grass roots movement Himpunan Hijau.
“The Malaysian government must allow the full enjoyment of environmental and human rights, including the right to defend rights and ensure that corporations operating within it’s country respect the rights of nature, people, and rights defenders.”continued Lowrey.
Local Kuantan resident Seet Ping and secretary of the grassroots movement Himpunan Hijau (Green Assembly) said, “The LAMP was quietly built in our backyards without us knowing about it, and day by day the toxic radioactive wastes are piling up in open storage ponds in the plant which is situated in a low lying swampy area exposed to yearly extreme monsoon weathers.”
“Thousands of Malaysians have mobilised against Lynas over the past three years. We have collected 1.2 million physical signatures within 36 days in a petition calling for the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant to be shut down. We want Lynas to pack up, clean up and get out of Malaysia.”
