24'h November, 2011 Teo Ai 1m PO Box 872, Gadong BE3978, Brunei Darussalam Tuan Pengerusi, Jawatankuasa Pilihan Khas Berhubung Dengan Penambahbaikan Proses Pilihan Raya, ( PSC on Electoral Reform l, YB Datuk Seri Panglima Dr. Maximus Johnity Ongkili, Tuan, I used to be very proud to be a Malaysian.

I work in Brunei.

In most companies that I have come across, where there are Malaysians, they hold executive or managerial positions.

We, Malaysians, are respected among the Asians working here.
Recently, what happened to the Bersih Rally in July, 2011, made me change my views as Malaysian.

Seeing how our Malaysian government treat its own people make me feel so sad.

What humiliated me was when my assistant - a Thai lady asked me why my government used tear gas and water canon against its own people.

She added that their government really show more love and care for their Thai people, compared to our Malaysian government.

What's wrong with asking for Free & Clean election?
Is our country really a DEMOCRATIC country, when their people cannot voice their views???

What is wrong with Malaysia, had it gone from good to bad, and bad to worse after independence?

This year, Thailand had their general election in July.

As early as May, the Thai embassy in Brunei started contacting every Thai citizens working here to inform and encourage them to go and register to vote, right here in Brunei.

They arranged for 4 locations for them to vote, based on their convenience.
They offered them transportation to the polling centre too.

I personally checked with the Thai workers that I come across - working as waitress in the restaurant, deliveryman, driver, construction workers, and executives and asked them whether they are being informed of the election.

All of them said yes.

This shows that the Thai government treats their people as citizens, even when they are overseas.

The overseas Thai were allowed to vote.


My Philippines & Indonesian colleagues, just like the Thais were allowed to vote in their respective embassies.

WHY CAN'T OUR MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT DO THAT?

IS IT DIFFICULT for the Malaysian government to do that???

Is our government more backwards than its neighbours???

My Malaysians friends working in Brunei, are aware of the scenario as mention above.
Thus, we would like the committee (PSC) to consider registering us, Malaysian working overseas, as absent voters.

Thank you.
