All Malaysians Must Register As Voters To Exercise Their Inalienable Rights. Malaysian citizens who reach the age of 21 on 1.4.1999 are eligible to register as voters. After registration, it may take up to one year before the newly registered voters are able to cast their votes in the general elections. | |||||||
| Voters' Registration (2.4.1999 to 1.5.1999) The annual registration of new voters is here again. Malaysian citizens who are 21 years old on 1.4.1999 are eligible to vote and hence to register as voters. Those who have moved to different constituencies may re-register to change their addresses. The next general elections will be held before 25.4.2000. Although we do not know the date of the next elections, we believe that all eligible voters should register. After registration, it may take up to one year before you can cast your vote, that is, if your names are actually on the electoral roll. In a democratic society, voters play a very important part to ensure justice, good governance and more equitable distribution of wealth among other things. Since the last elections on 25.4.1995, many things have happened such as the economic crisis, the imprisonment of Lim Guan Eng, the detention and trial of Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the current viral epidemic. Are you happy with what has gone on in the past few years? Would you like to do something about them? Would you like to voice your opinions? Would you like to see the Barisan Nasional Government denied the two-third majority? Please register as voters and make sure that you exercise your inalienable rights in the general elections.
Pendaftaran pemilih tanunan telah tiba. Seorang warganegara | |
Malaysia yang genap 21 tahun pada 1.4.1999 boleh mendaftarkan diri sebagai seorang pemilih. Para pemilih yang telah berpindah ke bahagian pilihanraya yang lain boleh mendaftarkan semula untuk menukar alamatnya. Pilihanraya akan datang akan diadakan sebelum 25.4.2000. Walaupun kita tidak tahu akan tarikh pilihanraya itu, kita percaya bahawa semua warganegara yang layak mestilah mendaftarkan diri. Setetah didaftarkan, ia mungkin mengambil satu tahun sebelum seseorang itu boleh membuang undi, yakni, jika namanya ada dalam daftar pemilih. Dalam sebuah masyarakat yang demokratik, para pemilih memainkan peranan yang penting untuk memastikan, di antara lain, keadilan, pentadbiran yang baik serta pengagihan kekayaan yang lebih adil. Sejak pilihanraya umum pada 25.4.1995, banyak peristiwa telah berlaku seperti krisis ekonomi, kepenjaraan Lim Guan Eng, penahanan dan perbicaraan Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim serta wabak virus yang sedang melanda negara. Adakah saudara/I puas hati dengan peristiwa-peristiwa tersebut? Adakah saudara/I hendak membuat sesuatu untuk memperbetulkannya? Adakah saudara/I mahu mengutarakan suaranya? Adakah saudara/I hendak Kerajaan Barisan Nasional hilang majoriti dua pertiga? Sila mendaftarkan diri sebagai seorang pemilih dan menentukan saudara/I dapat menggunakan hak warganegara yang tidak terpisah dalam pilihanraya akan datang. Dr Tan Seng Giaw | |||||
