Ipoh Echo, 30 Jan 2010
Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) issued a memorandum to the Perak State Election Commission for its delay in the issuance of a permit to register voters during the Thaipusam celebrations on January 30. The protest memo was handed over to its Deputy Director, Wan Mohammed Salleh by PSM Deputy Chairman, Ms M. Saraswathy. She was accompanied by PSM Committee member K. Segar Kunasekaran.
PSM had applied to the Election Commission last December for approval to register voters in view of the high number of unregistered voters in the country (500,000 in Perak). The party was then informed that its appointment letter would be released within two weeks. It had requested for 10,000 application forms. However, PSM was later informed that such a number would require the EC to send its officers along for the exercise. This was made conditional upon the release of the registration forms. The party found this strange as no such condition was extended to other political parties. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »

The state Election Commission (SEC) has put a spanner in the works of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) efforts to register about 10,000 new voters for the coming state and general elections during the weekend celebrations of Thaipusam.
PSM, known for its public service ground work, is gaining popularity among the lower income group, the marginalised groups and the displaced urban pioneer (squatters) groups. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »

The government should auction the more than 60,000 Approved Permits, normally given to cronies instead of implementing the ‘absurd’ goods and services tax, said DAP leader Tony Pua.
“They (the government) could get RM2.4 billion from this, about RM1.4 billion more than what they could get from the implementation of the GST tax,” he added.
He pointed out that the government had not exhausted all possible avenues to generate revenue and there were many alternatives to the GST, with the auctioning of APs being one of them. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »
For 30 years, a group of farmers and livestock owners has invested time, energy and thousands of ringgit to make a living on former mining land in Tanjung Tualang, Perak.
Last October, however, the Kinta land office ordered the 45 to vacate the 80ha site located near Batu Gajah, saying that it belongs to the state.
The furious settlers are now attempting to fight back with the help of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) to save their oil palm stands, fish ponds and cattle rearing activities. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »

Cukai GST, yang akan diluluskan pada bulan Mac 2010 merupakan satu lagi langkah ‘mesra koperat’ kerajaan pro-kapitalis Najib Tun Razak, kononnya untuk meningkatkan pendapatan kerajaan. Cukai ini akan memiskinkan lagi 60% rakyat pendapatan rendah. Tidak adakah cara lain untuk meningkatkan pendapatan kerajaan, seperti menghentikan rasuah dan kebocoran wang rakyat? Tanpa peningkatan gaji, adakah kaum pekerja mampu menanggung satu lagi perbelanjaan?
Anda dijemput ke forum awam ini untuk mendapat tahu dengan lebih lanjut kesan GST terhadap rakyat Malaysia, dan untuk berbincang tindakan yang harus diambil.

The GST Tax is set to be passed in Mac 2010 is yet another Najib Razak Government’s business friendly pro-capitalist venture, in the pretext of increasing the revenue of the Government. The Tax will further burden 60% of those from the lower income group.
You are invited to understand the impact of the GST and discuss what we can do about it.

PENGGUNAAN ISTILAH ALLAH PADA MASYARAKAT BUKAN ISLAM
- Pandangan Dr. Nasir Hashim – Pengerusi Parti Sosialis Malaysia
Pertikaian terhadap penggunaan perkataan Allah sudah merebak dan berpanjangan apabila Kementerian Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri (KDN) tidak membenarkan penggunaan istilah tersebut. Kes ini telah di bawa ke Mahkamah. Mahkamah telah membenarkannya dan KDN pula telah membuat rayuan.
Walhal sejak zaman Nabi Adam istilah Allah sentiasa di gunakan termasuklah zaman Nabi Musa dan Nabi Isa. Zaman Nabi Muhammad SAW membenarkan agama kaum Yahudi dan Nasrani menggunakan perkataan Allah di mana-mana sahaja.
Di Sabah dan Sarawak pula, padri-padri sudah berpuluh tahun menjalankan upacara ibadah dalam Bahasa Malaysia dan menggunakan perkataan Allah di dalam gereja masing-masing. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »

PSM STATEMENT : 8 JANUARY 2010
PSM CONDEMNS ATTACKS ON CHURCHES ! NAJIB AND HISHAMUDDIN SHOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBLITY!
Parti Socialist Malaysia is shocked to learn that three churches have been attacked in the last 12 hours in the Klang Valley – the Assumption Church in Jalan Templer, Petaling Jaya and the Life Chapel in Section 17, Petaling Jaya and the Metro Tabernacle Church in Desa Melawati, Kuala Lumpur. The three-storey Metro Tabernacle church in Desa Melawati, Kuala Lumpur, part of the Assemblies of God movement, was set ablaze in the attack which took place around midnight.
We cannot deny the fact that the attacks are somehow related to the High Court ruling last week which ruled in favour of the Catholic weekly, The Herald newspaper, which has used ‘Allah’ as a translation for “God” in its Malay-language section. The ruling however was suspended on Wednesday pending an appeal by the government. ARTIKEL PENUH (MORE) »
