Kedah Gerakan Chairman and Derga State Assemblyman Dr Cheah Soon Hai is suspicious of the intention of the coalition of BERSIH 2.0 for insisting to carry out a mass gathering in Kuala Lumpur.  He is in the opinion that it is not necessary that the event should be held in Kuala Lumpur, it could be held at other states, especially states governed by Pakatan Rakyat.

 

 

Dr Cheah says, "What sort of political agenda does the BERSIH coalition has for being so persistent to hold BERSIH 2.0 in Stadium Merdeka?  Why must they hold it in Kuala Lumpur instead of other Pakatan Rakyat's states? The Police Chief had also suggested BERSIH to hold the event somewhere far from the busy city center of Kuala Lumpur and do it in the Melawati Stadeum at Shah Alam, however, the highly persistent BERSIH coalition refuses to do so and insisted to hold it in Stadium Merdeka. The persistence of BERSIH coalition has triggered the curiousity of many."  

 

 

Dr Cheah suggests BERSIH 2.0 to postpone the date of the event, given that the current situation is rather intense and the event may not be a success, why don't BERSIH 2.0 delay the date of the event in order to give itself more time to prepare and apply for permit so that the gathering could be carried out smoothly. 

 

 

Dr Cheah who is also the Derga state assemblyman said, "The BERSIH coalition had been fighting endlessly over the issue of the rally and had been trying to magnify the issue even further.  Their motive of doing so is none other than diverting the attention of the public away from the sensitive issues involving the opposition leaders. 

 

 

Dr Cheah also urges the BERSIH coalition to either cancel or postpone the date of the event for the sake of the public, this is to avoid unnecessary social unrest and any unwanted injuries.

净选盟坚持集会地点动机可疑

 

谢顺海吁为人民设想展期举行

 

 

民政党吉打州联委会主席兼德卡区州议员

谢顺海医生文告

2011年7月8日

 

 

民政党吉打州联委会主席谢顺海医生对于净选盟坚持要在吉隆坡举行集会一事大表质疑。他认为净选盟可以选择在其他州属举行集会，特别是民联执政的州属，而不一定要在吉隆坡。

 

 

谢顺海医生说，"净选盟坚持要在默迪卡体育馆集会到底有什么政治目的？为什么他们不在民联执政的州属举行集会，而坚持要在吉隆坡？全国总警长也建议净选盟远离繁忙的吉隆坡市中心，到雪州沙亚南美拉华蒂体育馆举行大集会，可是净选盟却冥顽不灵，坚持要在默迪卡体育馆。净选盟一而再，再而三地坚持，其动机实在令人可疑。"

 

 

谢顺海医生也建议净选盟展期举行集会，不一定要在7月9日。鉴于现在如此紧张的局势，净选盟也未必能成功举行集会，倒不如挪后集会日期，以便有充足的时间筹备和申请准证，让集会顺利举行。

 

 

谢顺海医生也是吉打州德卡区州议员。他说，"在这一个月内，净选盟一直纠缠于集会一事和企图扩大该项课题。他们如此做的目的其实也就是为了转移人民视线，使到反对党领袖牵涉的敏感课题都逐渐被模糊了，大家的焦点都放在净选盟集会上，而忽略了许多反对党的课题。"

 

 

 

谢顺海医生呼吁净选盟站在人民的立场设想，取消或展延集会日期，避免造成社会不安宁，也避免让人民受到任何损伤。
