Starry-eyed from a recent visit to Venezuela, a Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) leader strongly recommended that Malaysia adopt that country’s pro-people policies where a whole range of services are provided free.
PSM deputy president M Saraswathy (left) said unlike our government which imposes burdensome taxes like the proposed Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the public, the social democracy practising Venezuelan government provide free necessities such as health and education for all citizens.
Education from kindergarten to university level is free and the students enjoy three free meals a day as well free transportation from their homes to educational centres, she added.
Also, Venezuelans are charged monthly minimum rates of only 50 sen each for water and electricity supplies and they enjoy an efficient and cheap transport system. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »

No To Coup in Honduras!
No To Coup in Honduras!
Restore Demoracy! Reinstate the Democratically Elected President!
Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) strongly condemns the coup d’etat organised by the military and right-wing political elite in Honduras on 28 June 2009, which ousted the democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya.
The coup took place just hours before the people of Honduras go out to vote on a consultative referendum concerning whether to rewrite the constitution. The current Honduran Constitution which was written in 1982 during the height of the US administration’s dirty war in Central America, was designed to ensure the ruling elite who have closed ties with the US imperialist to consolidate their powers with little interference from the ordinary people.

Dearest Comrade
Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) is offering our deepest appreciation and respect for your long and exemplary revolutionary service as President of the Republic of Cuba.
Revolutionary masses of Cuba and your leaderships, have been beacons of hope for people around the world to resist imperialist domination which has produced war, poverty, starvation, environmental crisis, social injustice and oppressions.
PSM applauses Cuba and its people, for standing up against the savageness of capitalism, and survived the unremitting and ruthless hostility of powerful imperialist nations like US. Cuba under its revolutionary leadership has also played significant role in strengthening international solidarity of ordinary people through medical and education aid.
With the rising of revolutionary masses throughout the continent of Latin America, especially in Venezuela, PSM believes that Cuba will deepen its unfinished revolutionary process by joining hands with revolutionary masses in these countries. With the deepening and spreading of revolution towards Socialism, it surely will inspire people around the world including us in Malaysia to keep up our fighting spirit to struggle against capitalism and to build a better world for everyone.
