EC and Police must clean up their acts and ensure free and fair election in Ijok
The Ijok by-election, which will see constituents going to the polls on 28 April 2007, should have been a perfect opportunity for the Elections Commission (EC) to clean up its act after the shameful irregularities which marred the recently concluded Machap by-election. In the Machap by-election, the EC had failed miserably to live up to its Constitutional mission to ensure the practice of a free and fair election. Violence and intimidation, blatant abuse of state machinery and resources, bribery in the form of treating, and outright vote-buying had marred the election in Machap.
Despite being given an opportunity to make amends in the ongoing Ijok election, the EC still seems incompetent, with polling day just 4 days from now. From the very start of the election process in Ijok, scenes of irregularities as seen in Machap seemed to be reoccurring.
Indian Estate Prohibited to Youth and Students?

Attention to News Editor:
Indian Estate Prohibited to Youth and Students?
The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) is always proud to say that they champion the rights of the Indians. They promote their own great contribution to the Indian community in Malaysia. If MIC is so successful, why were they so worried about the youths and students who visited the Tuan Mee Estate in Ijok? Does MIC prohibit youths and students from knowing about the situation of the estate workers and their problems? Or is this just another information blockade on the residents in Tuan Mee Estate?
On April 22, Youth for Change (Y4C) organised a Concerned Youth for Political Exposure Trip to Ijok. With the guidance of the local people, Krisnamuthi, the 50 participants were divided into three groups to conduct a survey. After 45 minutes of the program, one of the groups was stopped by a group of MIC representatives.
When the participants wanted to exchange further information with the local people, an MIC leader, who wore a black batik shirt, approached the group and questioned the Convener of Youth for Change, Lee Khai Loon. “Are you a student? Which university? Do you have a permit? You cannot come in without a permit from the management. This is private property.” stressed the MP for Cameron Highlands, YB S. K. Devamany.
